Summary

Both Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning (Doug Wilson) and The Seven Laws of Teaching (John Milton Gregory) are appropriately considered foundational texts for teachers, administrators, and board members. In this workshop, we will examine additional “must read” books in the areas of board governance and leadership, Christian education, classical education, and worldview development. This workshop is intended to benefit both new and veteran administrators and board members.
