Produktbeschreibung
Across the United States and around the world, there has been an ongoing resurgence in classical education, including among Catholics. The classical model, rooted in the ancient Socratic method, is flourishing, and classical Catholic schools continue to multiply and grow. But classical education also has its detractors. Some parents and teachers worry that it is impractical, outdated, or, worse, judgmental. In Know Thyself, Andrew Youngblood, an educator with decades of experience in classical learning as both a student and teacher, introduces readers to this exciting education alternative and its intellectual and spiritual benefits. Youngblood defines the essence of classical Catholic education, explores its integrated and narrative approach to learning, and presents its transformative power and beauty. Through brief vignettes, personal anecdotes from students and teachers, and examples from the classroom, Know Thyself makes a positive case for an education journey that teaches students to see themselves through God's eyes--and to truly know themselves and who they are called to be.
Autorenporträt
Andrew Youngblood has been a classical educator and education consultant for over twenty years. He has helped found over thirty classical Catholic high schools and trained countless administrators and teachers on how to implement classical education from pre-K through college. In all his work, Youngblood draws from his brief experience as a contemplative Benedictine monk. In stark contrast to the monastic silence he once experienced, he now lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia, working in a large Catholic high school and surrounded at home by a houseful of teenagers and dogs.
