Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum: A Guide to Catholic Home Education

Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum: A Guide to Catholic Home Education

Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum: A Guide to Catholic Home Education

Laura Berquist Home educator Laura Berquist presents a modern curriculum based on the time-tested philosophy of the classical Trivium—grammar, logic and rhetoric. She has given homeschoolers a valuable tool for putting together a “liberal arts” curriculum that feeds the soul, as well as the intellect. Her approach, covering grades K – 12, is detailed and practical, and it is adaptable by parents and teachers to any situation. This third revised edition includes a much expanded section for a high school curriculum, and an updated list of resources for all grades. “A treasure for Catholic parents. Laura Berquest offers an overview of the natural stages of intellectual development, and the way they conform to the divisions of the classical Trivium. This is not a program but a method, perfectly adaptable to the needs of every child.” — Donna Steichen, Author, Ungodly Rage “This book bridges the gap between a desire for a classical education for our children and the reality of subject by subject, grade by grade curricula that is thorough. It has been an immense help to me.” — Kimberly Hahn, Author, Catholic Education—Homeward Bound

Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving At Work, Home, and School (Unabridged) [Unabridged Nonfiction]

Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving At Work, Home, and School (Unabridged) [Unabridged  Nonfiction]

Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know – such as the brain’s need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget – and so important to repeat – new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule – what scientists know for sure about how our brains work – and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.

Medina’s fascinating stories and sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You’ll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You’ll peer over a surgeon’s shoulder as he finds, to his surprise, that we have a “Jennifer Aniston neuron”. You’ll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can’t tie his own shoes.

A perfect companion to her first book, More Charlotte Mason Education will continue to guide your family down an enjoyable and successful path of home schooling.

“Catherine [did] and excellent job of conveying Charlotte Mason’s ideas in a user friendly format. Quoting frequently from Mason’s work, Levison explains and clarifies Mason’s ideas while also adding her own ideas resulting from her years of experience teaching this way in a home schooling setting. I found these books extremely practical and thoughtful.”
–Cathy Duffy, author of the Christian Home Educators’ Curriculum Manuals

“After providing an excellent “how-to manual” for the different school subjects in her first book, A Charlotte Mason Education, Catherine Levison has expanded on it in her new book, More Charlotte Mason Education. In this book Levison tackles some important issues that Charlotte Mason users encounter. My favorites include: What are the Liberal Arts? How Short Lessons are Applied and High School. She closes the book with helpful guidelines for further study.”
–Maggie Dail, MA, Master Teacher of a Charlotte Mason School, Education Consultant of Master Enterprises Learning Center

“In More Charlotte Mason Education, Catherine shares at a deeper level…hints, practical how-to’s, inspiring quotations, and the rich and uplifting philosophy for which this approach to education has become well known. She shares with us the depth of her understanding on the many aspects of education she has experienced. The section on coping strategies for crises shows me that she is speaking from what she has learned from the lessons of life. Not only does she empathize, but she makes me feel comfortable with doing what needs to be done just to live, while still nurturing my children.”
