Too Much Shakespeare? NEVER!

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 • Duration 01:07:30

Why dive into four years of Shakespeare? In our latest episode, our brilliant Classical Acting trainer Jenny Forston passionately shares how Shakespeare’s works can transform students’ lives.

Shakespeare’s plays are the bedrock of English language and culture, packed with rich linguistic and emotional experiences. Students don’t just learn language; they also develop emotional intelligence by exploring the complex relationships in his works. A four-year journey with Shakespeare is more than just an academic endeavor. It’s a transformative experience that fosters self-awareness, empathy, and personal growth. Students gain essential life skills, boost their confidence through public speaking, and build strong community bonds by performing and analyzing these timeless works together.

In this episode, Jenny also unveils our updated Classical Acting manual, designed to deepen students’ engagement with Shakespeare. With fresh insights into performance, textual analysis, and community involvement, this manual helps students develop leadership, academic skills, and personal growth.

Committing to Shakespeare isn’t just about studying a playwright. It’s about enriching students’ lives in every way—academically, emotionally, and socially. For homeschool parents and educators, investing in Shakespeare education brings transformative, lasting benefits for students, preparing them with essential skills for the future.

Navigating Colloquiums in Leadership Education

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 58:54

In the world of education, traditional methods often involve students passively receiving and repeating information. Leadership education, however, aims to engage learners actively—encouraging deep reading, critical thinking, and character growth. This week, we’re diving into these concepts on our podcast with three Pyramid Project trainers (Camille McCausland, Cassie Dixon, and Leah Hone) and our host, Heidi. They’ll explore effective ways to lead a book colloquium, using the classic “Carry on Mr. Bowditch” by Jean Lee Latham as a case study.

The discussion isn’t just about listing facts from Nathaniel Bowditch’s life or dissecting the book’s literary elements. It’s about sparking a connection between the scholars and the story. Our trainers will share their insights on the critical role of preparation and curiosity, along with practical techniques like annotating and questioning. These strategies aren’t just about understanding the text but engaging with it actively, from noting new words to pinpointing impactful passages.

This episode isn’t just a resource for Pyramid Project trainers; it’s also a treasure trove of inspiration for parents, mentors, and educators looking for dynamic ways to facilitate discussions and deepen engagement with literature.

Fostering Student Engagement: A Fresh Perspective

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 55:50

In this week’s episode, hosts Tatiana Fallon and Heidi Christianson delve into a critical challenge facing today’s educators: student apathy. As seasoned educators themselves, Tatiana and Heidi engage in a knowledgeable and insightful discussion about the evolving dynamics of student motivation and engagement.

Unlike past generations, today’s students often show a distinct lack of enthusiasm for traditional learning methods. Tatiana and Heidi stress the importance of understanding the unique motivators for each individual student to effectively counteract this growing trend of inaction. The conversation navigates through various strategies to rekindle a passion for learning. Key among these is the concept of self-motivation. The hosts discuss how self-motivation isn’t just a skill to be taught but a personal drive to be fostered within each student. They highlight the crucial role of accountability in maintaining motivation and how mentors can play a significant part in this process.

Drawing on their backgrounds in education, Tatiana and Heidi explore how incorporating principles of autonomy, mastery, and purpose (see “Drive” by Daniel Pink) into teaching methods can significantly enhance student engagement. These elements help students feel in control of their learning journey, see the value in the skills they acquire, and understand the greater purpose behind their education.

Perhaps the most poignant part of their discussion centers on the role of mentors. Both hosts agree that mentors have the unique capability to recognize and nurture potential in students, even when it may not be immediately obvious. This process requires patience, empathy, and a deep commitment to student development.

This episode of the LEMIWorks Podcast is a must-listen for educators looking for practical and effective strategies to engage their students more deeply and combat the pervasive issue of apathy in education today.
