How can we help our students - all students - benefit from a more robust, diverse, well trained and supported teacher workforce? As I shared at the PA Latino Convention today, through the work of Edifying Teachers, we believe this calls for action at three levels - here’s our latest video showing how we’re working to help education improve through what we call the 3 Ps: Practice, Promotion, and Policy, including a recent exchange with Gov. Wes Moore👇🏽 #HispanicHeritageMonth #1MTOC #WeAreEdLoC #PALC

I had the privilege of sharing the importance of breadth as embodied in the College of the Ozarks general education curriculum which prepares students to tackle a wide range of tasks at work and in life. Breadth is important for engineering graduates, half of whom are not in explicit engineering roles, as well as any graduate who wants to be prepared for the wonderfully diverse world we live in. https://lnkd.in/gWBcYERe
I am passionate about equipping and resourcing Christian colleges and universities and their faculty to faithfully educate students.
It was a pleasure to moderate a discussion at the Faithful Education Convocation last night about how the General Education Program here at College of the Ozarks helps prepare students to thrive in their God-given #vocations and #callings. Thanks to Stacy McNeill, Ed.D., Mark Nowack, and Joseph Western for sharing your insights as part of our faculty panel. Thanks also to Janna Goodwin for all your help organizing things behind the scenes. Finally, thanks to all the faculty here at the College who invest your time, energy, and passion into teaching General Education courses!

Having just joined the The Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton and the Chesterton Academies of Minnesota as a Senior Fellow, I've been musing on the place of G.K. Chesterton among modern thinkers, or "public intellectuals" (if you prefer). Chesterton observes a delightful distinction between two types of reformers in society: "The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to [a fence or gate] and says, 'I don't see the use of this, let us clear it away.' To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer, 'If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.'" Just go away and think. Perhaps that's what we've largely lost: the ability to pause long enough to recognize the just and prudent purposes of inherited ways of life--from institutions to mores to rituals. Fortunately, the folks in the Chesterton School Network (Dale Ahlquist, Emily Selene de Rotstein, Joseph Grabowski, Mark Steeves, Brenie Bowles, Nes Rotstein, Grettelyn Darkey, Ruth Laxen et al.) are equipping schools that train high schoolers to pause and think, under the influence of the insightful Prince of Paradox. #chesterton #reform #classicaleducation https://lnkd.in/gXqtkV95

The new academic session of schools is about to begin and with it a question arises:- If schools have to take a big step towards a better tomorrow this year, what should it be? Answer:- That step would be to give every child the right to plan, direct and evaluate his own education. To do this, encourage him to decide for himself, with the encouragement and guidance of experts and those with more experience, what he wants to learn, when he wants to learn it, how he wants to learn it, and how well he is learning it. Give him as much help as he needs in this. To turn our schools into instruments of free and independent education so that everyone in the community, whatever his age, can use them as much or as little as he likes.
