After a one-year postponement, INCHE announces the October 6-7, 2022 INCHE North America conference held in partnership with the 9th Kuyers Institute conference on Christian teaching and learning at the Prince Conference Center, Calvin University, Grand Rapids, Michigan. The conference theme is “Faith and Pedagogy amid Educational Change.”

The already rapid pace of change in the educational environment has accelerated in recent years, fueled by factors as varied as the foregrounding of health and safety, sudden shifts to online learning, political polarization among parents and students, challenges to civil discourse, shifting demographics, ambiguous student identities, and increased needs for student and faculty support. How can Christian educators, themselves burdened by present challenges, constructively respond? How might we retain a focus on investigating intentionally Christian educational processes in an unstable environment?

Conference plenary speakers include Dr. Michelle Loyd-Paige, professor of sociology and executive associate for diversity and inclusion to the Calvin University president; Dr. Jan Habl, professor of pedagogy at the University of Hradec Králové (Czech Republic); and Dr. Marlene Wall, president of LCC International University (Lithuania). Further details about each plenary speaker and the conference schedule are available at https://calvin.edu/centers-institutes/kuyers-institute/news-events/conference-2022/ .

Conference registration is now open at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kuyersinche-conference-2022-tickets-333554870597. The discounted early-bird rate is available through July 31, 2022.

Plan to join the networks of INCHE and the Kuyers Institute to explore the crossroads of faith, pedagogy, and educational change.
