Show NotesJoshua Gibbs offers more practical advice for Classical Educators. Following the discovery of, and the reasons for Classical Education, questions come up. We’ve been inspired, now we need more information about how and what to do. The new perspective is to teach how to think, not what to think.
Some Topics and Ideas in this Episode Include: What does Classical Pedagogy look like? Once theory is addressed, we need to hear from experience.  Where will we discuss presentation, grading, and homework?  How to spend summer vacation for students. Experiencing involvement with a literary character. Practical teaching of literature. The practical approach to learning from reading, reflecting, and discussing classical books.  Resources and Books & Mentioned In This Episode This page contains affiliate links.
