Modern education often presents teachers as specialists tasked with imparting expert knowledge to students. Yet the focus of a specialist in pursuit of imparting facts and information too often becomes overly narrow and overlooks the development of the whole student. This kind of oversight can leave a graduate with major blind spots in his or her understanding and outlook. By contrast, the teacher as mentor embraces the project of delivering more than subject-specific content and works to cultivate the moral, spiritual, and intellectual health of the whole student. In this education conference, we will explore the nature and practices of mentorship in pursuit of equipping students with tools, skills, and wisdom to live faithfully before God.
