Education Issues

Christian Educators Association International

Our mission is to "serve the educational community by encouraging, equipping and empowering Christian educators serving in public and private schools." We are the only professional association for Christians who are called to serve in public schools. Our members have served the youth of America since 1953 through classroom teachers, administrators, and para-professionals in education.

EDAction - Action for a free Nation

The EdAction (Formerly MREdCo PAC) exists to promote grassroots activism and work to ensure future Americans received a broad, liberal arts education equipping them to be successful at whatever they want to do. We work to oppose federal and state government's takeover of education through such programs as Goals 2000, the Profile of Learning, No Child Left Behind, School to Work, and the Workforce Investment Act.

GIVING TEACHERS A CHOICE 

Professional Educators of Tennessee (PET) is an association developed to promote the professional status and growth of educators and the welfare of students, in order to make the state of Tennessee a better place to teach and learn. Organized in the 1990-1991 school year with 67 members, PET was formed to give teachers a professional alternative to the union membership. PET gives teachers a choice. 

 

PET provides access to professional liability insurance, legal assistance, state lobbyists that represent PET only in Educational issues, state meetings with all professional members having an equal vote, and much more-all for hundreds of dollars less than union dues.

Gateways to Better Education

Welcome to an exciting way to bringa godly influence to your school with grace and confidence. I call it "Tending the Garden of Your School". For many years, our public schools have been seen as battlefields to fight on. However, nothing much grows on a battlefield. Instead, we can look at our schools as gardens to cultivate. Schools are enriched when Christians appropriately express their faith in word and deed. 

 

This is an excellent site to help parents of public school students be effective participants in the life of the school, the students and the staff.

Exodus Mandate Overview

The new mandate for Christian education should be, "Every church a school, every parent a teacher." 

 

Exodus Mandate was organized in 1997 in response to the precipitous, widespread concern among American parents and businessmen, especially in the Christian community, that "Somebody has got to do somthing now about the education crisis in America." 

 

Exodus Mandate also advances the proposition that private, Christian and home-school education can successfully replace public education.

Bible Literacy Project

The Bible Literacy Project, Inc. is a non-partisan, non-profit endeavor to encourage and facilitate the academic study of the Bible in public schools. Founded in 2001 by Chuck Stetson, we believe that failure to teach about the Bible leaves students in ignorance and cultural illiteracy.

National Black Homes Educators Resource Association

Home schooling has been used by the Lord to give us the opportunity to be more family-minded than we might otherwise be in our busy society. Even the most forgetful among us melts at the thought of old fashioned family values.

 

That's why NBHERA has taken this moment, right now, to touch the heart of the family. After we shared our passion for families to return to the old paths with home-school leaders across this great nation, we dreamed about the joys such an endeavor would bring.

 

We have assembled (and are continuing to search out) a few of the most treasured resources that we believe will build up the family. One of our goals is to encourage, network, and unite families so that we as a people can keep our hearts and minds open to the blessings of the future.

 

Just like the promises that are ours in God's Word, we welcome you to partake of these classic resources in hopes that they will bring to you and your family possibilities and promises of a timeless era to cherish forever.
