Teaching the 8 Smarts

Every child learns differently because every child is uniquely and intentionally designed. This professional development course series equips educators to better understand how students think, process information, build confidence, engage relationships, and discover purpose through the framework of the 8 Great Smarts. Teachers will explore practical strategies that strengthen instruction, improve student engagement, deepen learning retention, and cultivate classrooms where students feel seen, known, and equipped to thrive.

Teaching The Master Way

Throughout Scripture, Jesus is called many things. One of the most descriptive words used to describe him might be “teacher.” A teacher doesn’t simply communicate information, but as we see with Jesus, a teacher leads to transformation.

Building Biblical Character

Parenting isn’t just about managing behavior; it’s about shaping hearts. Every day, our kids make hundreds (or even thousands!) of choices—big and small—that shape who they are becoming. But what if we could help them connect the dots between their choices and their character? What if they could see how wisdom, courage, self-control, or kindness actually impact their daily lives?

Grandparent & Parent Together

This course guides you to building meaningful, drama-free connections with your parents and in-laws while creating a robust and Christ-centered family legacy.

With practical steps and heartfelt advice, you’ll learn how to navigate generational differences, set healthy boundaries, and foster love and respect across your family tree. Whether you’re hosting the holidays or just looking to bring more joy to family visits, this course equips you to make your home a place of peace, connection, and celebration.

CHARACTER OVER OBEDIENCE

Character is destiny. This powerful statement reminds us of the importance of developing and nurturing our character traits to shape our kids to their identity in Christ and their future serving Him. We discuss various ways to teach and build character in ourselves and our children, ultimately leading to a more committed, obedient, and fulfilling life in Christ.

CURB THE COMPLAINING

Complaining is the result of something. As parents, we often feel it's a deep-seated issue that will require a ton of work. But Dr. Kathy gives critical perspectives of where complaining comes from, how to approach a complaining kid, and how to communicate in a way that loves, respects, and guides kids away from habits of complaining.

FOREVER FAITH

Studies show that up to 70% of kids raised in church walk away from their faith in young adulthood. Why? Because too often, their faith was treated like a checklist—not a calling. Their identity was built on activities or labels, not anchored in truth.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can help your child discover a Forever Faith—one that isn’t shaken by culture, doubt, or hardship. A faith that is not just taught but lived. A faith that becomes who they are.

End Strong, Start Fresh

As the school year winds down and summer is approaching, many parents feel a weight on what might have been missed or could have been done better. End Strong, Start Fresh is an online course designed to guide a solid end to the school year without guilt and propel to summer with energy.

Learn how to address and resolve lingering tensions. Discover how to express gratitude and appreciation for what impacted your child’s year. Understand the importance of closure through meaningful goodbyes. And Prepare for the transition from the current chapter to the next adventure.
