Summary:

This application is in support of a young man who is eager to take the opportunity to do his part to develop young men and women of character and virtue who meaningfully contributeto the world around them and take responsibility for their actions and continuous learning. He hopes that his students will become insightful thoughtful capable competent and pious young adults who will able to artfully and skillfully explain and defend their philosophies of life as well as their faith. To this the end applicant believes in developing the students soul and their mind that they may be worthy perpuators of their people and gospel of Christ.

It is often said that the purpose of classical education is to form the students soul to develop the students mind and affections and inclinations toward what is right and worthy of admiration among other attributes. While this is true, it should not be the only aim. The students encounter with things of great worth and value should inspire to make further contributions to what they encounter in a similar spirit to those who have come before them. The instructor therefore tries to structure and fashion his lessons so that the student will be able to easily recognize the principles inherent in what they learning. This could be the creativity of God inherent in the variety of the natural world, the patience required to thoughtfully consider a cogent argument or the courage to encounter the seeming contradiction of a logical syllogism.

As part of this encounter, the good teacher will then challenge and encourage the student as to the implications and relevance of this lesson and principle to their own interaction with the subject. This is learning as worship. The student encounters the truth and goodness of God in whatever form and is led to respond. His response should be relatable to those around them and to the teacher who will then help him hone and refine his work so that it will be edifying to all and contribute to their learning.

This tandem participation with the concepts should be a contributing factor to the student eventually taking responsibility for their education. Towards this end as the student increases in intellectual maturity they should be given accountability for more and progressively involved engagement in the classroom This could look like them taking a leadership in Socratic discussion groups or teaching the lesson of the day with their own lecture in mathematics. For younger students this could like helping to arrange the classroom beforehand or arranging for the collection of their own materials for a science project. In this way the student will learn to recognize the motion of the learning circle, its beginning and conclusion.

This approach to learning, that of gift its reception and integration into the students soul expressed back in the furtherance of the gift to others sums the Aristotilian teaching philosophy of the applicant shown in his resume.He has been teaching two years

Anywhere in US
Summary:

Learning is not simply my livelihood; it is my life-long passion. That being said, having spent the past six years in academia, I have only grown more concerned with the state of education in our society. What has been so saddening to realize is that learning for the sake of becoming a human who loves the Good, the True, and the Beautiful is so far gone that most individuals unhesitatingly surrendered the vocation of learning to AI. Because of this, I am finding myself renewed in my vigor to excite in students a love of learning, for more than ever, the survival of a well-educated society depends on it. As a doctoral student in medieval literature, I have felt at home among the thinkers and writers of the past who pursued knowledge not for its own sake, but for the sake of grasping hold of God so that they may love Him more. I want to pass that spirit on to my students, and teaching in a classical school would be the perfect context for me to do so.

My educational background makes me suitable for teaching a wide variety of subjects in the humanities. My undergraduate degree was in philosophy, and my masters degree was a general survey of English literature. My doctoral research is focused on Anglo-Latin biblical literature from the twelfth century, though I have also done extensive research into medieval Irish literature. I would feel at home teaching not only literature classes, but also introductory philosophy, Latin, and medieval church history and theology classes.

I am currently in the dissertation stage of my degree with a graduation date of May 2027. My hope is to begin teaching in the 2027–2028 school year.

Summary:

I am a Christian educator and educational leader seeking an administrative or academic leadership opportunity within a classical Christian school. I hold an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from George Fox University, an M.A. in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics from Talbot School of Theology, and a B.A. in English and Comparative Literature from San Diego State University. I bring more than twenty years of teaching experience across classical K–12 schools, Christian education, and higher education.

I currently teach at a private Christian school outside of Portland, OR and seasonally serve as an online adjunct philosophy faculty member for two universities. My previous experience includes teaching lower and upper-school students at Ridgeview Classical Schools, working in a school-improvement initiative, and teaching philosophy, ethics, logic, religion, and social sciences at several colleges and universities. My broad instructional background also includes literature, grammar, history, science, mathematics, and the classical languages.

My philosophy of education is grounded in Scripture and in the classical pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. I believe education should form the whole person—intellectually, morally, spiritually, and vocationally—and should help students develop wisdom, Christian character, disciplined habits of thought, and a desire to serve God and others.

I am especially interested in positions such as Head of School, principal, upper-school leader, academic dean, or curriculum and instruction director. I would also welcome a leadership role that includes teaching humanities, philosophy, ethics, logic, literature, or related subjects. I hope to serve a Christ-centered school committed to strong academics, faithful discipleship, faculty development, coherent curriculum, and meaningful partnership with families. I am open to opportunities nationwide.
