The Art of Teaching: Children's Literature
Through beautiful narratives and vivid characters, children's stories prepare young minds to receive the truth and encourage them to fall in love with virtue.
This conference on teaching children's literature featured talks by professors at Hillsdale College and leaders in our affiliated classical schools. Everyone left feeling inspired and ready to re-enter the classroom with joy and purpose.
This program is entirely free of charge and includes an evening reception and dinner, continental breakfast, and lunch. Participants receive a certificate that may count towards professional development hours for certification.
