The TeachBeyond Way
1. OUR CALLING TO “TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATION”
We are called to be a part of God's ongoing mission as Gospel-centered educators implementing and promoting transformational education. Transformational education is the teaching and learning process that invites all to respond to Christ’s redemptive work in every aspect of life. We embrace this mission knowing that it is through the work of the Holy Spirit that we increasingly become all that God intends.
2. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE IDEA OF TEACHING BEYOND
We are committed to teaching beyond one-dimensional, utilitarian forms of education to a comprehensive, holistic approach that fosters personal growth and enduring social benefit. The word “beyond” calls us to:
- Teaching with an attitude of teachability
- Teaching creatively in formal and informal settings
- Teaching for all nations
- Teaching contextually in local communities while always thinking beyond the geographic and cultural boundaries
- Teaching “for all,” not neglecting the poor and vulnerable
3. OUR COMMITMENT TO CULTIVATE A LEARNING COMMUNITY
We see ourselves as a reflective learning community. This means we seek to grow corporately in our understanding of our global mission and identity as we think together. We also seek to grow personally and vocationally, in our service to our community and world, and in our love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
4. OUR MULTI-ETHNIC COMPOSITION AND UNIFYING ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
We seek to be as ethnically rich and diverse as the Church itself. Our organizational structure fosters a cooperative spirit and ensures that we work together in effective ways that are globally connected and locally empowered. We view our national entities as expressions of TeachBeyond flowing from and contributing to a global community committed to the ideals of TeachBeyond.
5. OUR VISION TO FOSTER A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
We are part of a global community of like-minded people. We envision this community becoming a vibrant gospel movement led by the Spirit to impact our world in redemptive ways. We support this movement through the services we provide.
