2015 Practicum Talk, 1:00:38, K-6, General Classroom, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
What our grammar classrooms should look like in theory is one thing, but occasionally it’s good to actually see what goes on in a well-oiled grammar classroom. With insightful video clips of Rockbridge Academy grammar teachers and classes in action, this workshop will examine aspects of the grammar class such as: maintaining and restoring fellowship, parent-teacher communication, making every moment count (both in and out of the classroom), evaluating student mastery, and more.
