Equipping Parents in a Collaborative-Model School: Strategies for Students of All Ages
How can the University Model help parents to reinforce the Trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric in the home setting? We will discuss parents as “co-teachers” in the Grammar phase, “parent coaches” in the Logic Phase, and “active supporters” in the Rhetoric phase. Parenting strategies need to adjust in all three phases just as the strategies in the classroom evolve. Classical Christian administrators can help equip parents in the same way that we support teachers to apply effective strategies for the intentional discipleship of the student as they mature.
Pam and her husband, Dr. Beau Dollins, founded a classical Christian University-Model school in Houston, Texas in 2012, which is now Second Baptist School University-Model. They lead six school campuses with Second Baptist Church and spend most of their time working together to train families and faculty in this unique model of education. Pam is the mother of 11 children and enjoys teaching Bible study to all ages.
