Teaching as a Christian Practice is led by David I. Smith, a highly regarded and in-demand worldwide conference speaker and workshop leader in Christian education. He is a professor of education at Calvin, and Director of the Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning. Professor Smith began his career teaching French, German, and Russian in public secondary schools in the United Kingdom, where he became fascinated by the question of how our beliefs, values, and commitments can shape and guide our approaches to teaching and learning. After graduate work in philosophical theology, philosophy of education, and curriculum studies, he moved to Calvin. He serves as Editor of the International Journal of Christianity and Education and is regularly involved nationally and internationally in professional development for schools, colleges, and universities, especially focusing on the connection between faith and teaching.
