Class experience

US Grade 4 - 7
It’s my goal that students will gain an understanding of the following. 

(1)	Problems and benefits of engaged learning.
(2)	Critical thinking steps before forming an opinion.
(3)	Spotting logic fallacies – and framing their thoughts with sound logic.
(4)	How these principles play out when reading, hearing lectures, and speaking.
In grad school, I took an upper-level class philosophy class taught by the head of the department. I was quickly embarrassed to realize that I was all over the place with my thinking and reasoning. I’d never been taught critical thinking and the Socratic teaching method of the professor just infuriated me. Some of the hardest books I ever read came out of that class. I both hated it and loved it. My learning path took a BIG change that year in my mid-30s. 

About the same time, I started homeschooling my 2 sons who were in the 4th and 8th grades. I headed down the road of the classical education philosophy which embraces the big education goal of learning to think. 

That was over 20 years ago. The classical model has shaped my learning and teaching. In many ways, I’ve become that professor who made me so mad in his philosophy class. I’ve grown to love helping others, just like I was, in how to think and how to learn based on a critical thinking model. I slip into this teaching method no matter the subject.
