Amazing Women

I

love that I have the priviledge to direct Classical Conversations programs. The opportunity to spend time listening to, and learning from, the amazing ladies who are my tutors is a blessing. I've met with the tutors from both of my programs this week. There are 12 women who will give their time, energy and talent to model the grammar stage of Classical Education weekly to about 90 children.

As I listened during our meetings, the passion that they have for what they do is so evident. We talked over history games, songs, maps, playing board slam to cement math facts, science experiments, art plans, oral presentation skills and how to teach them most effectively. The list goes on. The most important thing I learn from them is to think outside the box. Education is a lifestyle for our families. It doesn't just happen during "school" time.

I feel safe with these women and am inspired by them. Although we homeschool, we do not undertake this responsibility lightly and are not lone rangers. We share ideas, lift each other up in prayer, care for each others needs in practical ways and hold each other accountable. I would not like to be on this journey alone and I thank God for each of the families in my programs. Each family adds their own uniqueness for us to learn from.
