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 enduring and engaging guide to educating yourself in the classical tradition. Have you lost the art of reading for pleasure? Are there books you know you should read but haven’t because they seem too daunting? In The Well-Educated Mind, Susan Wise Bauer provides a welcome and encouraging antidote to the distractions of our age, electronic and otherwise. Newly expanded and updated to include standout works from the twenty-first century as well as essential readings in science (from the earliest works of Hippocrates to the discovery of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs), The Well-Educated Mind offers brief, entertaining histories of six literary genres—fiction, autobiography, history, drama, poetry, and science—accompanied by detailed instructions on how to read each type. The annotated lists at the end of each chapter—ranging from Cervantes to Cormac McCarthy, Herodotus to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Aristotle to Stephen Hawking—preview recommended reading and encourage readers to make vital connections between ancient traditions and contemporary writing. The Well-Educated Mind reassures those readers who worry that they read too slowly or with below-average comprehension. If you can understand a daily newspaper, there’s no reason you can’t read and enjoy Shakespeare’s sonnets or Jane Eyre. But no one should attempt to read the “Great Books” without a guide and a plan. Bauer will show you how to allocate time to reading on a regular basis; how to master difficult arguments; how to make personal and literary judgments about what you read; how to appreciate the resonant links among texts within a genre—what does Anna Karenina owe to Madame Bovary?—and also between genres. In her best-selling work on home education, The Well-Trained Mind, the author provided a road map of classical education for parents wishing to home-school their children; that book is now the premier resource for home-schoolers. In The Well-Educated Mind, Bauer takes the same elements and techniques and adapts them to the use of adult readers who want both enjoyment and self-improvement from the time they spend reading. Followed carefully, her advice will restore and expand the pleasure of the written word.

This study examined contemporary receptions of the trivium--a language arts curriculum developed by Isocrates and Quintilian to teach grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric. In late antiquity, Martianus Capella codified the trivium as the initial three subjects of the seven liberal arts of the Medieval period. The trivium of antiquity prepared students to be virtuous public rhetoricians. At the end of the twentieth century, interest in the trivium appears in what I called "traditional" and "alternative" sites of schooling. I argued that there is relatively little interest in the trivium as a pedagogical program in the field of rhetoric and composition despite the recent revival of interest in classical rhetoric for composition studies in "traditional" schools. Arguments over the past twenty years for using the trivium in these schools lacked common pedagogical goals, lacked a shared understanding of what the trivium "was," and lacked detailed curriculum proposals. A greater interest in the trivium exists in the "alternative" K-12 schools of the growing classical Christian education movement. Douglas Wilson, an evangelical Protestant pastor, has led this movement since opening his trivium-based Logos School in Moscow, Idaho, in 1981. Wilson modeled his curriculum on a proposal for teaching the trivium issued in 1947 by Dorothy Sayers, an English medieval scholar and Christian apologist. I examined uses of Sayers' and Wilson's trivium in schools belonging to the Association of Classical Christian Schools, in homeschools, and at Internet tutoring sites which aide homeschooling parents. I concluded that the trivium developed by Sayers and Wilson maintains Isocrates' and Quintilian's pedagogical design and intent better than the trivium proposals made for "traditional" schools. However, the parochial emphasis of Sayers' and Wilson's trivium warrants calling it a "reformed" classical trivium, which I suggested would likely appeal only to those who share an interest in a specifically religious and academic education. Yet the successful working-model of the classical trivium found in classical Christian schools is an instructive site of inquiry for rhetoric and composition scholars and mainstream educators who wish to study how a classical curriculum can be used for teaching the language arts today.
