Host Matt Ogle, Travis Copeland, Josh Herring, and Winston Brady discuss an essay written by American educator and author Mortimer Adler, entitled "Teaching and Learning." The essay is itself a microcosm of much of Dr. Adler's educational philosophy. As a professor at Columbia University and the University of Chicago, Dr. Adler favored reading and discussing significant, meaningful texts from the Western canon as the primary means of instruction. In this episode, our teacher-panel examines how to bring Dr. Adler's philosophy into the typical 6-12 classroom in this episode.
