Creating a Spirit of Inquiry: The Praxis of Norms & Nobility
with Adrienne Freas
$25
David Hicks in Norms & Nobility says "Classical education is not, preeminently, of a specific time or place. It stands instead for a spirit of inquiry and a form of instruction concerned with the development of style through language and of conscience through myth" (p. 18).

Learn how to identify “worksheet” or “textbook” questions and rewrite them into questions that truly engage the heart and intellect of students.
