Click here The Scholé Review Issue 28 | January 2019 Using the Eight Principles of Classical Pedagogy to Grow as a LeaderFrom Scholé Muse Jennifer Dow: In his popular talk, The Eight Principles of Classical Pedagogy, Dr. Perrin discusses eight principles that speak to how children learn and therefore how teachers should teach . . .[these] eight principles [also] serve as a guide for learning how we should teach, but also as a tool for assessing our Scholé Groups and ourselves as directors. Read more at the Scholé Groups blog. The Sirens, representing temptation, make frequent appearances in classical mythology. Their stories reveal much to us about the nature of distraction in our own lives and its interference with our pursuit of scholé. These stories also show us the ways that the Sirens—and distraction—can be resisted. If you are in need of refreshment and a time of scholé (who isn't?), join us as we explore and learn from three sessions examining encounters with Sirens: Odysseus & the Sirens, Orpheus & the Sirens, and Dante & the Sirens.
