Home from Veritas Teacher Training Conference

Posted in Homeschooling

This is probably just the first of a few posts about the Veritas Academy Teacher Training Conference I attended last week in PA.  Was anyone else from homeschoolblogger there?

 

First, Doug and Nancy Wilson were the primary guest speakers and though I have always liked their writings I have a much higher opinion of them after hearing them speak.  Their speech is full of grace, mercy, and love (some of you may be surprised?).  They stress that your children should know these in abundance, and that education and family life should be full of fun and JOY.

 

The conference was certainly directed toward those who are committed to Christian Classical Education and was rich and deep in its training.  It was full of solid philosophical and worldview training and also provided workshops for implementing various subjects, mainly based on Veritas Press materials.

 

It was pretty powerful to be hit with how important the education of our children is not only for their sakes but for our grandkids and their grandkids!  I am still processing it all.

 

More to come . . .

I did not realize you used/taught Veritas Press! Is this teacher training for homeschool moms or is this for you to be a consultant for Veritas? This is neat! I also use many of VP materials. I would love to chat!

BTW when is your due date and are you doing well? I've been praying for you! Can't wait to hear more about your trip! In Him, Eva

Aww, that sounds great!! I wish I could have heard the Wilson's speech - I always need reminding in those areas.

I'm glad to know another who uses VP too. My only friend in real life who used it just decided to put her kids in private school this next year.

Blessings!

About Me

My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry." I am a mom of seven children ages eight and under seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day! :o), Moms4Psalms
