2025 Workshop Talk | | Teacher & Classroom
Summary
People become what they behold. What is our gaze beholding? How can we cultivate perception? Observe Andrea Lipinski as she leads a couple of short lessons, compare them to one another, and identify what is happening. Mimetic instruction guides students to contemplate types to understand ideas in embodied form. This instruction enables students to perceive truth and then apply it, enabling teachers to prepare students to grow in wisdom. Join Andrea in contemplating mimetic teaching’s mode to chart the logic stage lesson path.
Speaker
Andrea Lipinski is the vice president of training for the CiRCE Institute, where she also serves as a head mentor in their teacher training program, the Rocky Mountain Apprenticeship. She trains teachers and school leaders in the art of teaching through mimetic and Socratic forms, which are patterned on the foundation of Christ as the model for teaching. She has taught courses in the humanities and writing. She has presented talks from Charleston to Anchorage at conferences and workshops for SCL, CiRCE, Gutenberg College, Belmont Abbey College, and Great Homeschool Conventions. She is committed to a normative and dialectical mode of inquiry. This June, she will complete a master of arts in leadership, theology, and society at Regent College. She lives in the Pacific Northwest, where she enjoys growing fruit, backpacking the mountains, and sailing the Salish Sea. She is a co-author of A CiRCE Guide to Reading.
