What is Classical Christian Education? Series with Dr. Michael Adkins
Q: What is Classical Christian Education?

How to Find and Train Classical Christian Teachers with Dr. Robert Jackson

How to Find and Train Classical Christian Teachers with Dr. Robert Jackson
Q: What distinguishes a good classical teacher from a typical classroom teacher in this model?
A good classical teacher combines deep content knowledge with the ability to teach in ways that provoke curiosity, engages students with the subject, and demonstrates emotional intelligence and humility. They should view themselves as inheritors of a scholarly tradition and be able to model a lifelong commitment to learning.
How to Find and Train Classical Christian Teachers with Dr. Robert Jackson
Q: Where do you find teachers for classical schools, given the rapid growth of these schools and the variability of traditional certification programs?
Candidates come from diverse backgrounds, including mid-career professionals, homeschool parents, military veterans, and adults with real-world experience who bring substantive subject knowledge and learning-to-teach capacity. The process emphasizes content mastery, pedagogy, and the ability to design engaging activities, not just formal certification.
The Art of the Question with Mandi Gerth
Q: How can parents support their children in developing intellectual virtues without becoming overbearing?
By asking purposeful follow-up questions that require justification, examples from reading, and connections to other texts or ideas, while remaining patient and non-shaming. The goal is to create a habit of thoughtful inquiry, not to test or trap the child, and to align questions with values and faith life.
