2021 Workshop Talk | 57:44 | Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom
Summary
Blended model schools rely on parents as co-teachers working under the guidance of the professional classroom teacher, and student success depends on quality instruction—both at school and home. But how can parents teach without training? How can they persevere without encouragement? We’ll explore a co-teacher development plan that starts with training and workshops, but also extends to support, including enriched lesson plans, connecting through gatherings, and mentoring. Turn your co-teachers into colleagues as you educate children cooperatively.
Speaker
Annette Kemp has served Providence Preparatory School in Belton, Texas since its inception in 2011, first as a third-grade teacher, and most recently as head of grammar school and assistant principal for the past eight years. Her introduction to classical education started many years ago, as she was educated in a classical pilot program within a public school setting. It wasn’t until after she taught first grade briefly, stayed home with her girls, and helped found and direct a pregnancy center, that she re-engaged with a love for teaching and learning classically—this time with Christian principles as the foundation. Annette is a pastor’s wife, mother of two daughter-friends, mother-in-law to a hero, and grandmother to the amazing Avery.
