My Favorite Resources on Classical Education
Recently I was blessed to talk to a group of homeschool moms about classical education. It was a huge undertaking for me to condense the last few years of study into a short time. There have been so so many wonderful blogs, books, lectures that have poured into my heart, and I felt like it would be really helpful for myself and maybe others to make a list of resources that I want to return to again and again to continue shaping me as a homeschooling mother, and even as a person and disciple of Christ. If you've heard me talk about classical education, and you start reading and listening to these resources, you'll realize I'm just repeating these great thinkers and writers. :)
So here goes! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat list! Pam Barnhill's (of Ed Snapshots) Your Morning Basket is really good too. (I enjoy her Homeschool Snapshots Podcast too but that one isn't about classical education). Also, Brandy Vencel, Mystic Winckler, and Pam Barnhill just started a new podcast called Schloe Sisters. Should be good!
ReplyDeleteI won a giveaway and got Jennifer Dow's course for free! I haven't started it yet, but I'm excited too. I am trying to finish the master classes at Read Aloud Revival and then plan to start.
You introduced me to a few of these names and I've really benefitted from my study over the past few years too.
