2024 Workshop Talk | | Teacher & Classroom
Summary
In order for the collaborative teacher to succeed, she must be sensitive to the workload appropriate for the home day component. While many parents have chosen the collaborative model because they are intentional about classical education, many have not. The collaborative teacher labors to educate not just her students, but the parents of her students. In this seminar we will discuss how to approach your curriculum from a home day/class day perspective while looking carefully at ways to bring parents along in their knowledge of and love for classical education.
