Charlotte Mason’s Method, Wise and Purposeful Letting Alone by Emily Kiser

Charlotte Mason said, “[W]ise and purposeful letting alone is the best part of education.” In this session, we will explore the distinctive elements of the Charlotte Mason Method, a philosophy rooted in our created identity as persons, and how to implement her natural method in our individual classrooms. Much of our time will be devoted to the unique role of the teacher in this method as we learn how to practice Masterly Inactivity–what that wise and purposeful letting alone means, and what it doesn’t.

The Power of a Narrated Education by Liz Cottrill
Narration is crucial in a Charlotte Mason method of education. “If we have eyes to see and grace to build, [narration] is the ground-plan of his education,” said Charlotte Mason. The simplest learning tool is one our children are born with, naturally gifted at, and which teachers can make use of to make learning both a joy and a permanent possession. This “art” is not optional, but essential. Still, is simply telling after reading enough? Liz will explain the purpose, the pitfalls, and the problems with narration; give practical how-to options; and, renew your trust in the power this practice has to thoroughly educate any student.

An Introduction to Nature Study by Nicole Williams

Many parents recognize the necessity of out-door time for their children’s physical and mental health, therefore, Charlotte Mason’s idea of nature study sounds great. But what does nature study really constitute? What should be done (or not done) as part of this “out-of-door work,” and how often should it be done? In this workshop, Nicole will take the mystery out of nature study, but not the majesty. (2.5 GB, 1:26 hr)
