Classically Chels

This is a bonus recording of my grad school assignment to teach the class about Discourse IX of John Henry Newman's 'The Idea of a University' :)

CORRECTION: I said that 'If the Catholic Faith is true' is a prepositional phrase. This was my mistake. It is a conditional dependent clause.

In this episode, Tony and I talk about his path from teaching in public schools, to administration, to joining The Chalkboard Review and working in education policy. Along the way, we touch on science pedagogy, classical education, and technology.

In this podcast I present a paper I wrote last semester on science in Catholic classical K-12 education! If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it around :)

Tune in to hear my conversation with Jeremy Tate about the CLT (Classic Learning Test). The CLT was founded in 2015 as an alternative to standardized tests for high school students applying to college.

Should nature science be taught in the classroom? Listen in to hear Chels narrate ‘My Faith’ by Victor Hess, followed by commentary on the classical approach to science.

Listen in as I speak with Dr. Matt Mehan about classical education and his new children's book 'The Handsome Little Cygnet'! The story, which resembles a traditional fable, is set in New York City and tells the tale of a little swan who must battle the pressures of the modern culture that threaten to lead him astray.

Is the Catholic Church resistant or against science? Tune in to hear what Chels has to say on the topic!

In this episode, I talk about education in Plato's Republic! More specifically, I talk about true education versus the sophist approach and the 'useful' education.

Also, I introduce the Classically Chels community and book club! You won't want to miss this episode!

Father Gregory and I discuss navigating uncertainty and periods of indecision. How do we live within the story that God is writing in our lives even when we don't know the next chapter? If you can make it through our banter, you may find out!
