Classical Education Parent Night: Teachable Moments with Temperance: Creating Space for Thoughtful Questions and Honored Answers
Please join us for the 8th Annual Classical Education Parent Night on Wednesday, October 16. This year’s theme is Teachable Moments with Temperance: Creating Space for Thoughtful Questions and Honored Answers. We are lifelong learners raising lifelong learners, but more is not always better. Kairos reminds us to pay attention to the right moment. How do we intentionally inspire our families, classes, and groups to grow skills and knowledge, but with the prudence to prevent checklists from steering our ship and lessons from overtaking our moments? Participants will leave with a fresh perspective on the rhythm of learning, the philosophy of schedules, and questions asked and answered mindfully. This year’s keynote speaker is Kelly Sullivan Noah.
