About This Workshop

Most of us have had at least one good teacher. If we have, we can still remember that teacher, and almost always because that teacher could teach very well and was simply a good and admirable person. In this seminar, we will explore the two ways that good teachers become good: 1) they are models of virtue that inspire students to imitate them and 2) they are good at the art of teaching or pedagogy. We will discuss the importance of modeling virtues like zeal for learning, holy curiosity, wonder, and humility and how to grow in these virtues; we will also note the key principles of pedagogy contained in The Good Teacher: Ten Key Pedagogical Principles That Will Transform Your Teaching by Christopher Perrin and Carrie Eben.
