Christian School Outcomes: Delivering on Our Promises
Thursday, December 12 at 12:30 p.m. EST
Are Christian schools keeping their promises when it comes to student outcomes? The Cardus Education Survey (CES) has been fielded multiple times in the US, with the latest administration in Fall 2023. The survey tracks outcomes by school sector related to academics and degree attainment, faith and values, career and family choices, measures of well-being, and more. This session will provide the latest snapshot of Christian school sector outcomes and engage participants in dialogue around what findings mean for schools, students, and families.

A CACE senior fellow, recognized scholar, and former Christian school leader, Dr. Swaner is the editor or lead author of numerous books related to Christian education, including Future Ready: Innovative Missions and Models in Christian Education (Cardus & ACSI, 2022) and Flourishing Together: A Christian Vision for Students, Educators, and Schools (Eerdmans, 2021).
How to “Reset” the Bible to Get Students Engaged
Thursday, January 16 at 12:30 p.m. EST
Bible literacy among Gen Z is in freefall, and educators are struggling to come up with innovative solutions. Learn how to set up students for success when it comes to reading God’s Word. Alex Goodwin, author of The Bible Reset, will explain how some long-held norms around Bible reading can be “reset” in order to help the next generation become truly immersed in Scripture.
- Presenter -
Alex Goodwin is the author of The Bible Reset and co-creator of Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience. A self-described “regular guy,” Alex is not a scholar or a pastor—just a Christian who once struggled to connect with the Bible. He writes with empathy, reinforcing with his own story that the book’s promise is entirely doable.
