2022 Workshop Talk | 48:58 | Literature, Philosophy

Summary


Modern teachers are often plagued with trivial matters that obscure the goal of classical Christian education: soul formation. It is easy to lose sight of the vision and wonder, “What is a master classical Christian teacher like, and how can I be one?” As teachers refine their craft, they should contemplate the great teachers found in the great works. By examining the works of Plato, Augustine, Boethius, and Dante, teachers will find inspiration for their classrooms and consolation in their trials.
