Student Gratitude Journal: Every Good Gift
Gratitude changes how we see the world. When we take time to notice what God is doing around us, our hearts grow softer, our minds grow calmer, and our relationships grow stronger.
This journal for students is designed to help them slow down, pay attention, and practice thankfulness for four weeks. Each week begins with a verse from Scripture and includes five short daily reflections.
Foundational Practices for Utilizing Student Test Data

Building Bridges for Effective Staff Meetings
Staff meetings can either feel like a roadblock or serve as a bridge. When done well, they create connections that carry your team forward rather than slow them down. This tool is designed to help Christian school leaders use meetings as bridges in three important ways.
This guide will walk you through best practices, practical tools, and a framework for reimagining your agendas. Each section is designed to help you evaluate, design, and lead meetings that do more than communicate information.
Five-Day Prayer Guide For Educators
This guide offers a simple but intentional way to focus your heart, align your team, and invite God’s presence into each day. Inside, you’ll find:
- A consistent Morning Prayer and End-of-Day (Bell) Prayer to anchor your daily rhythm.
- Five themed prayers for the week, each focused on a key area: students, teachers, leadership, school vision, and gratitude.
