2020 Foundation Talk | 37:00 | K-6, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, Curriculum Overviews, Philosophy
Summary
We’ve all read the books, written the papers, and fully support the mission of classical Christian education, so now what? How do we implement the philosophy in the classroom? This practicum will serve to give teachers the tools they need to bring the ideals we love and agree with down to the classroom level. We will apply the trivium to a unit, show how our biblical worldview permeates every lesson we teach, and give educators some practical tools to use in their everyday classrooms.
