  • "I appreciated the collaboration and focus on sharing ideas and practices that many of the workshops had."

  • "The interactive aspect was engaging and helpful for experiential learning."

  • "The pace was lovely. I also enjoyed the variety of workshops. The worship time was nice, also."

  • "I liked the variety and choice of workshops, connecting with fellow educators and parents, and I am refining [my teaching] practice as challenged by new ideas. I was encouraged and reenergized in the work of discipleship."

  • "Loved the free space on Monday afternoon-- that hour after lunch was helpful. Also really enjoyed the lunch on Monday-- delicious and healthy!"

  • "I really like the pacing. Even with the breaks, it was still a lot, and I left tired each day. I appreciated that some of the workshops were repeated so that I didn't have to make as many hard choices!"

  • "Thank you for having a growth mindset. It is infectious."

  • "I could see that the conference was really meeting the needs of the educators there! Teaching redemptively is a mind shift from the traditional and it is a huge blessing to have support. It takes times and persistence and the Redemptive Education conference has always been helpful because of the ways it has reinforced the philosophy and tone we are working toward."
