2018 Foundations Talk | 41:25 | All Grade Levels, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
Culture is all around us. It is what enables us to judge who is in our group and who is not. It lets us know acceptable means of conducting ourselves in different contexts. At its best, it brings a sense of joy and camaraderie to all of our interactions. At its worst, it keeps us wallowing in the same ineffective practices even though they have been shown to fail. The most difficult part of culture is that we are often not aware of it. This workshop will discuss goals for cultures in classical Christian schools and give participants practical tools to analyze and improve culture, all with the end of bringing a joy to our students.
