Welcome!

Welcome to Called to Teach. As this site grows, we hope it will encourage teachers of faith to bring Christ's love and compassion into everything they do in and out of the classroom. We need to work together to make sure that Christ is not just the most important thing in our lives - He NEEDS TO BE OUR LIVES!

Please take a moment to introduce yourself on the Introduction forum.

God Uses a Poor Sinner to Touch Others About the Best Story of All

When Scott and I are conducting seminars with teachers, we end the morning session with a clip from Mr. Holland’s Opus. Mr. Holland began teaching decades earlier.

I Am Second

I have added a new resource organization to the list on the main page of Called to Teach. It is called I Am Second. It is a website filled with amazing testimonies of God working in people's lives - famous people and "normal" people alike.

I would highly recommend taking some time to watch the videos. Then think if there are ways that you could share these messages with others. For example, a student doing a report on certain sports or bands or… Continue
