Does your school capture both the hearts and minds of students, leading them to cultivate virtue alongside wisdom — and then also teaches them math? This presentation is intended for administrators looking to better align their K-12 math program with the philosophy and practices of the CCE movement, with emphasis on vertical alignment, curriculum decisions, teacher support, and parent communication.
This session will illustrate multiple principles of classical Christian education as it begins by defining the teaching and learning of mathematics through both classical and Christian lenses. This session is designed to be immensely practical. Attendees will come away with a blueprint for assessing their mathematics program as truly classical and truly Christian. Multiple math curriculums will be analyzed through this blueprint. Samples of documentation on teacher support and parent communication will be shared, including observation and feedback rubrics. Attendees will leave well equipped to develop and support a classical Christian mathematics program.
