Do YOU Have What It Takes? | Why Moving To A Classical Education Model Is Challenging!
Wednesday Nov 15, 2023
Wednesday Nov 15, 2023
Picture it. You're a school administrator or homeschool parent eager to take your school and students into the world of classical education. You've read the books, done the research, prepared your reading list, and are ready to get started. And then the pushback starts. Your students, parents, and maybe other family members don't understand what you're going for. What's the point of all this hard work? What is classical education? What's the point of making a change in the first place? Don't worry. We've heard this story before. Today Memoria Press and Classical Et Cetera are here to share our experience in transitioning preschool, kindergarten, high school, and homeschool families and administration into a classical model. We sit down with Kathy Becker, a classical school expert, to talk about the challenges, trials, and joys of transitioning from a modern, public, progressive school model towards a classical education and traditional pedagogy. Join us at the table as we discuss the importance of training in a liberal arts education, instilling traditional values into your homeschool or classroom setting, getting teacher and parent buy-in on the philosophy of your new vision, and how a comprehensive curriculum will go a long way to getting started in classical Christian education.

Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Why doesn't my child want to go to school? What are the key ingredients to building a community out of your school or homeschool? How do we improve the current culture and education environment for kids and parents that are struggling to make things work? How do we fix our broken education system and bring about cultural transformation in our homeschooling and private schooling communities? Is cultural development something that needs our attention?
Today, Classical Et Cetera sits down with Mandy Groce, the head of the Highlands Latin Cottage School in Louisville, Kentucky to get her thoughts on how healthy participation in the core beliefs of the school can bring about lasting change in the culture and community of any schooling environment. High school and kindergarten students alike will benefit from our efforts in creating a culture that uplifts virtue and wisdom and a community that sees each student as a whole being.

How To Prepare Students For The Next Level
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Today we're talking about how a teacher and their students must prepare to navigate the transitions and challenges from one grade to the next. Each school year is filled with its own planning and challenges from kindergarten through 12th grade, and as each student moves from one level to the next the expectation to succeed only grows. So how can a teacher in both a classroom and homeschool setting equip their students to start strong as they navigate lower, middle, and high school level classes. This conversation is great for young teachers and administration to address the challenges facing students as they grow and learn throughout their schooling career.
