Odyssey TFT — Teaching for Tranformation (Early Adopters' Cohort)
Teaching for Transformation is a learning design framework that invites students and teachers both to see God’s story and to live their unique parts in God’s story through authentic, formational learning experiences in all disciplines. Rooted in deep hope that God’s desire is for all things to flourish, the Teaching for Transformation core practices provide a structure in which learning engages in real work that meets real needs for real people. Teaching for Transformation believes learning is primarily about not information but formation. Learning is formational because it reciprocally “forms” both the learner and the world that the learner engages with and in. Learner’s in God’s story participate in his vision to make all things new. |
