2019 Workshop Talk | 39:06 | All Grade Levels, Culture & Faith, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
This workshop will share how Regent seeks to honor parents’ responsibility to develop their children’s love of truth, goodness, and beauty. Two practical examples will be given: family and school Bible reading and family and school literature reading. These examples are not exhaustive, but provide a framework for making curriculum choices that encourage family cooperation . They are the beginning of a conversation to cultivate school cultures that honor Deuteronomy 4:10, “Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
