About ChristianTeacher.org

Our History

ChristianTeacher.org was founded by classroom teacher Jane Kulp in July of 2002 in response to a comment heard "one too many times" during a Sunday morning sermon. She remembers cringing each time the pastor, an outstanding Bible scholar and speaker, said, "You’ll never hear this in our public schools."

"Wrong!" she wanted to proclaim, "You can hear it in my fifth-grade classroom."

Later she talked with several public school educators who shared her reaction. Many Christian teachers are learning what their rights are according to the courts and the Constitution. They are learning how to successfully blend their teaching responsibilities as set forth in God's Word with their teaching responsibilities as set forth in standards-based curriculum guides.

One principal of a public elementary school said, "We need to let the pastor know what we are doing, and we need to encourage more Christian educators to join us." Jane felt called to lead the way, and within days ChristianTeacher.org was born.
