Jim has served as a Lutheran teacher and executive Director of Lutheran high schools and is currently a faculty member at Concordia University, Wisconsin. Learn more about Dr. Pingel here.
Dr. Pingel will present his keynote time with “Master’s Class: Teaching Like Jesus (Without the Pressure of Being Jesus).” Jesus said, “You have one instructor, the Christ” (Matthew 23:10). We Lutheran school educators can always learn more from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Together, we will take a deep dive into analyzing the pedagogy and techniques of our Master Teacher and explore ways to apply His (very) best practices in our teaching and leadership vocations. Along the way, we’ll encourage one another as we confront educational challenges and our own shortcomings. We’ll also take time to laugh and fellowship together as we celebrate the joys of teaching and leading in our Lutheran schools.
NEW this year! At Ed Camp, you will have the opportunity to learn from and inspire each other—a new, interactive, and collaborative session at this year’s FLGA Educators Conference.

Your contact list will grow as you meet people who share your passion to learn, teach, and lead, like Jesus. YOU pick the discussion topics as you share ideas that work and strategize together to handle the challenges you face.
