Are you looking for ways to connect virtue formation to your reading curriculum? In our next episode Patrick is joined by Adrienne Freas, founder of Beautiful Teaching, to discuss her latest curriculum, Poetic Language Lessons. It's a discussion that ranges from the points of connection between Charlotte Mason and classical Christian education to Aristotle and Quintilian to poetic knowledge. You'll find lots of deep philosophy combined with practical tools you can implement in your classroom.
