Dr. Jon Kirwan, director of the new Center for Educational Philosophy & Leadership at Christendom College, joins us to discuss how classical wisdom can revitalize leadership, teacher training, and Catholic education in the modern age.

In this episode, we discuss:
📖 How progressive education reshaped teacher training—and how Catholic schools can recover their roots
📖 Why the Ed.D. has become a leadership degree, and how it might be re-founded on Thomistic principles
📖 The surprising overlap between modern leadership theory, positive psychology, and Aristotle’s virtue ethics
📖 How Christendom College is preparing the next generation of educators to renew schools through classical philosophy and Catholic tradition
