Ep. 35 – Andrew Kern: What Happened to Classical Education?

This is Episode 35 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.

In this episode, Scott Postma talks with Andrew Kern of the CiRCE Institute about Classical Education and Andrew’s 3-part article, What Happened to Classical Education? Listen in as Andrew brilliantly answers some of the big questions educators should be (and are) asking: What is classical education? What forms or variations does it offer? Is it an identifiable method? Is it a formula or even a form? Is it a creed, a value system, a set of skills? What do we mean when we claim to be classical educators?
