Aha! It is the explosive, breakthrough moment of triumph or surprise that can change the trajectory of a student’s academic performance, perhaps even his or her entire life. It’s what all good teachers hope every day might happen in the lives of those they are teaching.

The faculty of Bethlehem College want to help you help your students reach such breakthroughs.

Aim At Aha is an in-person, high-quality, low-cost professional development program for teachers in Home, Classical, and Christian schools and networks.

Here’s How It Works

Sample a Session on ZOOM or at Godward Life

Attend one or all of the five forthcoming virtual or in-person “Sampler Sessions” that will feature different Bethlehem College faculty members. Taste and see how they Aim at Aha in their own classrooms.

Or Schedule an In-Person Workshop

Invite a Bethlehem College faculty member to lead a live Aim at Aha Workshop with your faculty, teacher network, or teaching association members.

The reimbursement of faculty travel expenses and a modest honorarium would be greatly appreciated.

Habits of Mind and Heart

“Truly well-educated people have the habits of mind and heart to go on learning what they need to learn to live in a Christ-exalting way for the rest of their lives—in whatever sphere of life they pursue.”

THESE HABITS APPLY TO ALL OBJECTS IN THE WORLD, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE BIBLE.

Observe subject matter accurately and thoroughly.

Understand clearly what you have observed.

Evaluate fairly what you understood by deciding what is true and valuable.

Feel intensely according to the value of what you have evaluated.

Apply wisely and helpfully in life what you understand and feel.

Express in speech and writing and deeds what you have seen, understood, felt, and applied in such a way that its clarity, truth, and value can be known and enjoyed by others.

Bethlehem College students graduate as mature adults ready to witness for Christ with wisdom and wonder for the rest of their lives.
