 Welcome, welcome to my last episode of this limited series podcast! It is bittersweet for me for sure! While responsibilities take me away temporarily from this full format, I do plan to continue sharing helpful tips, resources, and insights through social media and my website, so please if you don’t already, follow me on my Instagram and Facebook pages - A True Good Beautiful Life and my website: ATrueGoodBeautifulLife.com . And so to recap, the telos of this podcast is to share the pedagogical ideas of Charlotte Mason in light of the Classical ideals of the True, Good, and the Beautiful. Because Charlotte Mason belongs to the Classical tradition (the historical traditional understanding of this pedagogy), I wanted to show how these two methods can harmonize well with each other. They both emphasize paideia, which is the classic holistic approach to educating the whole child -- mind, body, and spirit. They both stress living/great books, observing and getting out in the natural world or cosmos, and thinking deeply about a feast of ideas. And while there are many other shared characteristics and goals, the one we are going to talk about today is how Charlotte Mason's motto of “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life,” marries perfectly with the traditional Classical approach to learning, nurturing character, and promoting virtue - schole. With the revival of Classical Education over the past few decades, many in that field, including my special guest today, are trying to recover this ancient ideal of schole, or restful learning. Today’s education seems to be inhabiting both ends of the spectrum of learning – a style that is too rigorous or one that is too lackadaisical. But today, I hope that we can encourage you to seek a balance by devoting some of your day engaging in schole, which will surprisingly promote wonder, love, and learning for you and your students. Back in the 4th century, Aristotle wrote that "schole [or leisure, as it it often translated], represents the highest human activity, that our labors were not what life was all about but that work was for the purpose of getting to enjoy leisure” – and that this concept would lead to human happiness (10.7). So what does this old Greek word have to do with education? Why revisit this idea from Episode 10? Because this is the final episode for the foreseeable future, I wanted to highlight and dig more thoroughly into this idea of leisure, or schole. I want to leave you with these important thoughts to contemplate as you begin your summer season and think about your upcoming school year. I want to give you permission to stop and rest and to consider cultivating this same rest in your homes and schools. I want to show you how this old Greek philosophy would make Charlotte Mason smile centuries later and how she incorporated it into her own philosophy of education. My final special guest of this season of the podcast is Dr. Christopher Perrin, and in the next hour or so, he is going to share with us his passion for education and how we can flourish as human beings through this old but forgotten concept of schole. He has recently published a book all about schole and I know you will want to read it. As you listen, see how this concept matches well with Charlotte Mason's motto on education. 10 Pedagogies of Schole: Make Haste SlowlyMuch Not ManyRepetition: The Mother of MemoryThe One Who Loves Can Sing and RememberWonder and CuriositySchole and ContemplationEmbodied and Liturgical LearningBy Teaching We LearnThe Best Teacher is a Good BookLearning in Community Favorite Resources: The Schole Way: Bringing Restful Teaching and Learning Back to School and Homeschool by Dr. Christopher Perrin"The Schole Way" Classical U online recorded course by Dr. Christopher Perrin“Schole (Restful) Learning,” Classical U online recorded course by Dr. Christopher Perrin The Good Teacher: Ten Key Pedagogical Principles That Will Transform Your Teaching by Dr. Christopher Perrin and Carrie EbenChristopher Perrin's Substack Account "Bringing Schole Back to School" article by Dr. Christopher Perrin, Substack The Age of Martha: A Call to Contemplative Learning in a Frenzied Culture by Devin O'Donnell Teaching From Rest: The Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace by Sarah Mackenzie Josef Pieper: Leisure: The Basis of Culture published by Ignatius Press Josef Pieper: Only the Lover Sings: Art and Contemplation published by Ignatius Press Josef Pieper: An Anthology published by Ignatius Press Common Arts Education: Renewing the Classical Tradition of Training the Hand, Head, and Heart by Christopher Hall"Schole Sisters" An Introduction to Classical Education: A Guide for Parents by Dr. Christopher Perrin Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition by Karen Glass The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education by Kevin Clark and Ravi Jain Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical ...
