Note from the President

As teachers and office staff, students and parents come to you for answers. But sometimes, you’re the one with the questions. Abeka’s on-campus Teachers Clinic provides training and tips that give you the support you need.

Through sessions and classroom observation, secondary, elementary, kindergarten, and nursery teachers gain practical training for specific age groups. Office staff will learn tips for procedures, records, orientation, and more.

You’ll leave with ideas for teaching, class procedures, and classroom management you can put into practice right away. Even experienced teachers find new ideas and inspiration—just like the other thousands of educators who’ve attended from across the world.

Come glean from over 65 years of teaching experience. You’ll find Teachers Clinic a real benefit to your ministry.

Troy A. Shoemaker, Ed.D.
President

FAQs

Who can attend Teachers Clinic?

Teachers Clinic is available for Christian school teachers and office staff.

Would this be beneficial for a school that uses multiple curricula, rather than just Abeka?

While the clinic is specifically meant to be a help to Abeka users, the principles covered are beneficial for any Christian school teaching with traditional education methods.

How do we register?

If your school has not registered yet, register online. If your school has already registered for Teachers Clinic this year, please call 850-969-1631 to be added to your group.

What is your vendor number? The public school board will pay for us to attend Teachers Clinic.

We are unable to accept government funds of any kind. Also, we cannot accept “pass through” funds (money paid to reimburse a school that has paid the fee).

Can we purchase meals for a spouse who is not attending the sessions?

Meals for the clinic are limited to delegates only. Your spouse could purchase individual meals at the college dining facilities, but the clinic delegates will be eating in other locations.

When we attend the clinic, may we bring high school students to see Pensacola Christian College? How do I register the students?

Yes, you may! Please call 850-969-1696 to register any high school students wishing to visit PCC. Note that residence hall lodging is not available.

How do we notify you of changes, cancellations, or additions?

For any changes, cancellations, or additions to your group, please call 850-969-1631.

When do I need to cancel to get a refund?

If canceling, contact us before check-in at 850-969-1631 so we can issue a refund.

May we preview or purchase Abeka materials while we are there?

May we tour the Abeka facilities?

Tours are not available at this time.

How many contact hours will I receive?

Each track offers up to 10 contact hours.

When will I receive my contact hour certificates?
