A School Structure that Serves and Secures (Anthony Hurst)
Summer is a great time to think about something like school structure. Anthony Hurst is our speaker on this week’s episode. Anthony taught for many years and more recently has been interacting with dozens of schools as a rep for Christian Light and as a speaker at educational events. He brings a wealth of experience to the subject of structure in a school. Anthony begins by distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy motives for school structure and challenges us to focus our school structure on serving our students and patrons and not projecting a lofty self-image. Our structure needs the guidance of clear vision, says Anthony. And not just the vision of one person but that of the community. Structure provides consistency across staff changes and grade changes and across time. Structure provides a sense of security. It offers some protection to us on our bad days and keeps us from falling to the level of our flaws. In the conclusion of his talk, Anthony also touches on some specific elements of structure that will help you get started evaluating the quality of the structure at your school.

The New Teacher: Finding, Developing, and Evaluating (Carson Baer)
Carson Baer lives in British Columbia and approaches his talk about new teachers as an ordained church leader and as a board member. He cares deeply about school and the tremendous significance of teachers. Carson offers inspiration and direction for school leaders in the sometime overwhelming work of staffing a school. There are many good teachers who have never taught because no one has done the hard work of finding, developing, and evaluating them. There are many potential teachers who have taught one or maybe two difficult years without solid support and concluded that teaching is not for them. This doesn’t have to be the case at your school. This talk is addressed to school boards but comes packed with excellent questions for school leaders in any capacity. What is school all about anyway and why do teachers matter so much? What does it take to get ahead of teacher turnover? What are the stages of the hiring process and what is involved in each one? Finding Onboarding Developing/Evaluating And more. This was presented as an interactive session and this recording includes some of that interaction where the audio was intelligible. As Carson has recognized, the task of finding and developing a new teacher can be daunting. It’s particularly discouraging if you have to repeat the process every year or two for every role. Faith Builders has been working for years to help provide training for teachers to better equip them and encourage them to stay in the classroom long-term. We are working on a new program to provide on-the-job training for newer teachers as another means of supporting school leaders in developing new teachers. This is scheduled to begin the summer of 2027. Email fbrg@fbep.org for more information.
