Classical Education...

“Because the classical educator believes in a real world that gives up ordered knowledge of itself, he teaches the student how to get that knowledge. The seven liberal arts were quite deliberately developed for precisely that reason. Believing that we can know truth, and believing that truth sets us free, classical educators spent thousands of years refining the tools of truth-seeking that were used from the beginning of time, but were first codified by Aristotle."

- Andrew Kern, in "What is the Difference Between Classical and Conventional Education”

The SchoolRun Learning Journey



The SchoolRun Learning Journey is for Primary School Students who receive instruction at home.  While this program can be used as a supplement for parents who send their children out-of-the-home for school, it can also be used as a curriculum addition to any homeschooling program.

We have been homeschooling for 9 years.  While my curriculum and methods have varied from year to year, one thing has remained consistent: considering the cost of supplements for my student’s weekly lessons.

Anyone who has homeschooled knows that choosing a curriculum is tricky at times.  Often, the curriculum that you—the teacher—enjoys using, your students often hate, and vice versa.  To alleviate the pain involved in this process, I always have ‘free’ curriculum options to supplement and/or replace curriculum mid-year when the teacher or students can’t handle the already-purchased subject curriculum.

Falling Down a Rabbit Hole



 

Falling Down a Rabbit Hole

When I produce a documentary, I like to do all the research myself. 
The problem I faced with Genesis, however, is that I wasn’t researching just one subject; I was researching thirty. They included complex topics such as stratigraphy, baraminology, hermeneutics, genetics, and cosmology (to name a few). There’s a good reason experts have PhD’s in a single area: when you dive into these subjects, it’s like falling down a rabbit hole.
But you can learn a lot by jumping in and looking around.
That’s one of my take-away’s from this project: if you truly want to understand these subjects, you have to roll up your sleeves and jump in. The world God created is impossibly complex, and most scientists will admit they only understand a fraction of it. But you can understand part of it. You just have to start somewhere.
Here are 10 books I found extremely helpful in my ‘falling’ process...
