Susan Wise Bauer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Dear Forum Folk, For years, parents have been telling me that they’d rather tackle meaty academic subjects (both for their own self-improvement and to make them better teachers) than sit through more conference workshops on family dynamics, modesty, and bread-baking. So I’ve been working with the Well-Trained Mind Academy Dean, Julia Kaziewicz, to build the Well-Educated Mind Academy, where we will offer live, online courses for adult learners. WEM Academy courses are designed to challenge and satisfy the intellectual curiosity of mature life-long learners. Taught by highly qualified and experienced instructors, our seminars provide home-educating parents (and all other interested adult students) with a rare opportunity to develop writing, reading, thinking, and Socratic discussion skills across a range of subjects. Check out the course descriptions and class schedules by visiting our website: http://www.wtmacademy.com/wema-about-us/ Please note: These courses are for you, not your kids. You have to be a grown-up to enroll. I hope you appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Mousie Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 What great news! You're just unstoppable, SWB, and for that I am very grateful. :001_wub: Texasmom, the link worked fine for me; maybe pasting or retyping the URL in your browser will work for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 This sounds wonderful. Wish it had been around 10 years ago--I'm entering my last year as a home school teacher. But if the courses could be used to update a teaching credential for the Oregon public school system, that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Argh! I'm going to be in the wrong time zone for all of these. These sound great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Wise Bauer Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Amira, just so you know--there will be a delayed option, where you can watch the recorded lecture on your own time but still complete the assignments and get instructor feedback.

ScoutTN Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Several friends and I are registering for the delayed version and meeting together to discuss. Book Club with SWB as our teacher! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Thanks, SWB and the WTM team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Can you tell me (or point me to where I can find the information) roughly how many hours we will need to spend per week on a course, and the cost of each? I'm interested in doing several, but I'm already doing a teaching degree, and have limited hours per week of spare time. :-) Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I am looking at the math class. What is the difference (besides the tuition costs) between the certificate and non-certificate delayed options? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
