2025 Workshop Talk | | Teacher & Classroom, Training & Certification
Summary
Much pride of place is given to the modern education renewal movement, emphasizing introductory and summary texts to bring teachers around to the classical Christian method of teaching. But what if there is a better way? This proposal suggests an approach to teacher training drawn from the Medieval schools and their early Modern imitators. Specific examples, such as Alfred the Great, Geert Groote, Erasmus, and John Colet, will shape the outline provided, and suggestions will be offered on accomplishing such a bold vision in the 21st century.
