Note From the President

I’d like to invite you to join us for Teachers Clinic 2020. Our goal is to equip Christian school teachers and staff with ideas and methods that can help their ministries.

Through sessions and classroom observation, Christian secondary, elementary, kindergarten, and nursery teachers get practical helps for any classroom. Office staff will learn tips for procedures, records, orientation, and more.

Come glean from over 65 years of teaching experience! You’ll find Teachers Clinic a real benefit to your ministry.

Tracks

When you come to Teachers Clinic, you’ll get to observe experienced Pensacola Christian Academy teachers.

For the Elementary (1–6) and Kindergarten/Nursery tracks, teachers choose one grade within the track to focus on. Valuable information will be provided, and curriculum sessions will be geared to classroom teachers.

For those in office areas, Teachers Clinic covers helpful procedures, accounts receivable, effective orientation, philosophy and ethics, cumulative records, and other informative topics. Whether you have one office worker or many, this program will be of great help.

Practical Training for New and Experienced Teachers

As a teacher, you need training and tips you can use! That’s what you’ll find at Teachers Clinic. If you’re a new teacher, you’ll leave with ideas for teaching, class procedures, and classroom management you can put into practice right away. What if you’re an experienced teacher? The Clinic is for you, too! When you’re here, you’ll find new ideas and inspiration—just like the thousands of delegates who’ve come from across the U.S. and several other countries.

Teacher’s Clinic was wonderful and a great opportunity for me as a first year teacher.
