dulcimerhope Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 There are lots of homeschoolers out there who self-identify as "classical," and there are classical co-ops and paid tutor models out there. But I'm wondering if anyone here has started a co-op for families who are at least loosely following the framework as outlined and described in The Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer. If you're part of a co-op that you think is heavily influenced by classical/WTM ideas and methods, can you share a bit about what your co-op looks like? What kinds of activities do you do together? What kinds of classes do you offer? What is the focus of your group? Thanks! Dulci Quote
Plink Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 We aren't entirely classical, but do follow the 4 year history rotation recommended in WTM. The kids each take 4 classes, history, art, music, and drama, based on the time period for that year. Take a look: http://faithfinearts.blogspot.com/p/about.html Quote
reign Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 We are part of a regular co-op but I do teach a SOTW class there. Parents read the text with the kids during the week and then in class I do some supplementing with a video, game, or picture book and a craft/art project. They also have IEW as a class option. Quote
