One area particularly hard hit is THEeducation. According to UNESCO, 192 countries had closed all schools Sand universities by April EMERGENCY2020, affecting more than 90% of the world’s learners — almost 1.6 billion children and young people. Here in the Northwest, Adventist education REMOTEhas not gone unscathed. And yet, there remains a silver lining through the rapid shift to emergency remote learning. Kyle Pepple teaches math at Cascade Chris- tian Academy in Wenatchee, Washington. “We were in staff meeting starting to discuss what we were going to do if we needed to shut down,” LEARNINGPepple says. “That’s when we received the news that the governor had just announced that all Washington schools were closing the following week. We had two days to figure out our game plan — ‘OK, now what do we do?’” CCA educators were not alone in the scram- ble to shift classroom learning to digital remote learning. Schools of every size in all six NPUC conferencesSHIFT were affected. Boyde Hosey is the principal teacher at Baker Adventist Christian School in eastern Oregon. THERE REMAINS A SILVER LINING The two-teacher school literally had to make the jump overnight. “I thought we’d be closed for a THROUGH THE RAPID SHIFT TO couple of weeks, until after spring break,” Hosey EMERGENCY REMOTE LEARNING says. “Boy, was I wrong!” 7 july/august 2020 A BRIGHT SPOT IN THE SCRAMBLE TO FIND RESOURCES AND NEW DIGITAL WAYS TO FACILITATE LEARNING IS THAT MANY NORTHWEST ADVENTIST EDUCATORS WERE ALREADY USING ONLINE LEARNING TOOLS AS PART OF THEIR DAILY CURRICULUM. While the first few days may have been a little messy, teachers bent over backward to ensure students contin- ued learning in spite of being physically banned from their classrooms. For many educators, the first few days involved a herculean amount of research. What tools and resources would best serve not only the learning objectives for the class but also the individual learning needs of their students? Larger schools tasked teams of tech-savvy teachers to look at what would serve student learning best and made recommendations to the rest of the staff. The NPUC con- ferences and union education leaders also worked to make recommendations and sought to encourage and support the smaller schools during this radical pivot. A bright spot in the scramble to find resources and new digital ways to facilitate learning is that many Northwest Adventist educators were already using online learning tools as part of their daily curriculum. Nelita Davamony-Crawford, principal at Emerald Christian Academy in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, talks about her team’s challenges during the early days of the shutdown. “The technology was hard. It was a little chaotic starting out,” she explains. “Making sure to get resources to all our families was initially a challenge too.” When asked about the pivot to emergency remote learning, Pepple said, “We’re all in a different boat but the same storm. It certainly was a learning process. I was working with unfamiliar technology. For example, I started a You- Tube channel and had to figure out the logistics of Google Classroom and meetings.” Pepple went on to describe the process. “Initially I made my own videos of my math lessons,” he said. “I quickly ADVENTIST EDUCATION learned I needed do more and began meeting This extra work has taken on many forms. remotely with the kids, trying to figure out One teacher in Washington conference, d’Ann what the best way to teach to the kids.” Jacaban, has made more than 300 YouTube “I was blessed,” Pepple adds. “There is a videos for her kindergarten students. really great team that is more tech-savvy than I The hard work has also showed up in ways am, and they spent time figuring so many things teachers reach out to students and families.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his wealthy father could well afford it, he told him that the sports car was ALL he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disap- pointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and very ill. The son thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed Leslie N.

    June 2, 1986 Volume Si Number ii erty and wealth, exclusiveness and in- clusiveness, and eventually freedom. A friend is a true friend when they love you even if you are unlovely in a lovely world. God is my friend, as in John 15:13-15 God is love and calls us friend. I believe that when a person accepts the 'He's My love of Christ, they are whole and beautiful whatever their abilities or disabilities, and though He does not will a disability, He does Father' will that we overcome all boundries that stand in the way of realizing a complete By Hank Severeid unity with Him. And that is fair. My wife and I attended the Revelation Seminar at our church recently, and one passage seemed to stand out. Revelation 21:4, 5.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.
