This anthology explores theories and pedagogical practices that seek to graduate global leaders who are culturally astute, intellectually alert, technologically creative and innovative, and ethically sound. In Part I, the contributors examine the tasks of helping students develop a voice, an identity, and a sense of mission in their writing. Part II explores the teaching of literacies in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); literacies necessary for creating competitive visionary leaders in the marketplace. Part III showcases methods of instruction that teachers draw from histories, literature, social sciences, and American cultures in particular and global cultures in general. In Part IV, the contributors offer teaching strategies not only in critical-thinking skills, but also in imaginative, creative-thinking skills to prepare visionary leaders to create solutions and products to meet the needs of the world’s population and marketplaces.

From Ancient Greece to the present day, Trivium 21c explores whether a contemporary trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric) can unite progressive and traditionalist institutions, teachers, politicians and parents in the common pursuit of providing a great education for our children in the 21st century. Education policy and practice is a battleground. Traditionalists argue for the teaching of a privileged type of hard knowledge and deride soft skills. Progressives deride learning about great works of the past preferring '21c skills' (21st century skills) such as creativity and critical thinking. Whilst looking for a school for his daughter, the author became frustrated by schools' inability to value knowledge, as well as creativity, foster discipline alongside free-thinking, and value citizenship alongside independent learning. Drawing from his work as a creative teacher, Robinson finds inspiration in the Arts and the need to nurture learners with the ability to deal with the uncertainties of our age. Named one of Book Authority's best education books of all time.

This book is an ideal introduction to classical education written by the headmaster of an established classical academy. It traces the history of classical education and describes its modern renaissance. The book also highlights the distinctive elements of the movement including its emphasis on teaching grammar, logic and rhetoric (the Trivium), and the extraordinary achievements of students who are receiving a classical education. Other sections address the role and benefit of classical language study (Latin and Greek) and integrated learning through a study of the great books of western civilization. The book is written in a colloquial, engaging style, with several anecdotes, diagrams and charts. This book is especially recommended to parents just beginning their examination of classical education. We have priced this booklet (and the Audio CD) very low so that schools and co-ops can affordably distribute it to parents. We encourage homeschoolers to give this booklet to other parents who may wish to consider classical education.

The modern resurgence of classical education can be attributed to an essay written by Dorothy Sayers. In 1947 while at Oxford, Sayers presented an essay entitled “The Lost Tools of Learning.” In the early 90's her essay captured the attention of educators and has become one of the most widely read essays on classical education. Although Sayers was not an educator herself, she does address the problems of modern education in terms that speak to the heart and mind of those who have passed through the system and found their education inadequate. She also gives parents a type of syllabus to follow. Her essay has proven to be a wonderful starting point for those seeking a better way to teach and be taught.

Newspapers are filled with stories about poorly educated children, ineffective teachers, and cash-strapped school districts. In this greatly expanded treatment of a topic he first dealt with in Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson proposes an alternative to government-operated school by advocating a return to classical Christian education with its discipline, hard work, and learning geared to child development stages. As an educator, Wilson is well-equipped to diagnose the cause of America's deteriorating school system and to propose remedies for those committed to their children's best interests in education. He maintains that education is essentially religious because it deals with the basic questions about life that require spiritual answers-reading and writing are simply the tools. Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics. Readers will see that classical education offers the best opportunity for academic achievement, character growth, and spiritual education, and that such quality cannot be duplicated in a religiously-neutral environment.

Excerpt from The Progress of Classical Learning During the Present Century: A Lecture Delivered as an Installation-Address in the Convocation Hall of Queen's University, Kingston, on Oct, 16, 1867, Being University Day Having been elected to the chair of Classical Literature in this Institution, I desire to acknowledge my sense of the honour thus conferred upon me - an honour, heightened by the circumstance that this University, to whose Professorial staff I have been appointed, is my Alma Mater. This circumstance, while it yields honour, entails responsibility. May it be my suc cessful attainment, as it shall ever be my strenuous endeavour, to advance the useful ness and increase the fame of this seat of learning, to which I owe so much - to fill with lustre to the College and profit to her Students the Department entrusted to me, which has been so ably presided over since the foundation of the College! Custom requires that I should deliver an Inaugural Address. The subject which I liave'chosen, as appropriate to the occasion, is the Pro gress of Classical Learning during the pre sent Century. This progress has been varied, widely extended, steadily maintained. There un fortunately prevails an opinion which claims numerous adherents, that Classical learning is a stereotyped study. Such per sons imagine that, because Greek and Latin are dead languages, our fathers knew about taem as much as we can possibly know - that no additional light can be thrown upon their origin, structure, his tory, and connections - that 'their deepest mysteries have already been explored and their darkest recesses have been fully dis closed - that the subjects which engaged the attention of a class in this Department at the close of last centuryremain still the same, without addition 'to their number.

What is education? How and why do educators do what we do? And, in what way can and ought education be distinctively Christian? These are a few of the probing questions for which this book seeks answers. Among other contributions, Currivean's book explores a biblical philosophy of Christian education with unprecedented breadth and depth. To accomplish this objective, it considers what education is (chapter 1), what philosophy of education is (chapter 2), and what the ultimate goal of education is (chapter 3). Additionally, this book provides a never-before, Christian overview of twelve philosophies of education (chapters 4-15). Each of those chapters provides an introduction of a particular philosophy of education and some of that philosophy's exemplars. Each of those chapters also contributes a constructive, Christian critique. Chapter 16 highlights a biblical philosophy of Christian education--featuring some people, some principles, and some priorities for a biblical philosophy of Christian education, viz. pursuing excellence for the glory of God.
