How to Integrate Classical with Delight Directed Education
In this episode Tamara Pool is sharing with us how to integrate the time test educational method of classical education with delight directed learning:
Understand the Classical Method
- Questions are welcome- teaches students to questions appropriately and to questions with humility.
- Simple, day by day instructional practice
- Integrated steps
- Attend-focus-study
- Help them discover how they learn
- Teaches kids to to approach education without fear- with humility and wonder
- Theology is the Queen of all learning
Delight Directed
- Parent is the barometer in the room
- Be mindful of what I delight in
- Show that the act of learning is delightful and that there is wide spectrum of learning available to students
Favorite Classical Tools:
- Integrated, wholistic approach to learning
- Training the brain to action- pacing- retention
- It is a wonderful psychology of learning
IT’s o.k. To try new things and it’s ok to quit. We get too busy focusing on being the expert.
Delight Directed learning
Family creates vision/dream boards- from these, create SMART goals
6 weeks on academics/ 1 week on delight directed/ plan/ menus, etc
Luke 2:52 “And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” An investigation into the meaning of the words used in the original text establishes a standard for judging historical interpretations of the passage.
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
