Show Notes
Joshua Gibbs offers more practical advice for Classical Educators. Following the discovery of, and the reasons for Classical Education, questions come up. We’ve been inspired, now we need more information about how and what to do. The new perspective is to teach how to think, not what to think.
Some Topics and Ideas in this Episode Include:
