Narration is the ancient practice of retelling a story. The trivium is the ancient mode of teaching the three arts of language. Bringing both of these practices together creates a beautiful and effective pedagogy for classical teachers.
Narration is perhaps the most powerful pedagogy to build cognitive functions for all learning. The book is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on the tradition of narration and the trivium. Part II focuses on the pedagogy of the trivium through the activity of narrating. It is an treasured resource for the busy teacher. It includes rubrics and lists of time-tested tips for teaching and assessing students. The end of the book has a list of discussion questions.
If you are a teacher who wishes to understand the theory and application of these two powerful teaching strategies, this book is for you. By the end of this book, you will not only understand the beauty and musicality of the trivium, but also the practical application of narration as a supreme mode of learning. These two arts together will reignite your love of teaching and your students' love of learning.
The first in a series of pedagogy handbooks, Book 1 focuses on the theory and praxis of narration and the trivium. Each book is short and concise so that busy teachers have time to read it. This series is designed for anyone who wants to not only understand the philosophy and history behind classical education, but also its practical application and its principles.
In the classical tradition, teachers are not merely purveyors of information, they are also learners. Teacher formation is at the heart of classical education. Equipping teachers in classical philosophy and pedagogy is not only necessary for the students, but equally for the teachers. We believe that all people deserve to have a beautiful education so that they naturally become lifelong learners. Teachers are encouraged to grow in their understanding of that which is true, good, and beautiful so they can nurture a sense of wonder in their pedagogical approaches in the classroom.
