Join my @InsChr online course in Fall 2023 to think carefully about your life.

This Fall, explore central issues in philosophy as addressed by Herman Dooeyweerd, Dirk Vollenhoven, and the “Amsterdam School” of neoCalvinism - particularly critiques of foundationalism, metaphysics, and modernity within reformational philosophy: icscanada.edu/fall-courses

This Fall, learn how to do critical reflective practice by telling stories about your everyday professional life. Zoom in on the story of an ordinary day at work, and then zoom out to the stories of your career to date, your work community, + God’s world: icscanada.edu/fall-courses

Explore crucial questions about educational leadership this Fall, including how social and cultural contexts, racial justice, Indigenous perspectives, human sexuality, and restorative practices impact and form school and classroom cultures: icscanada.edu/fall-courses
