This workshop is an opportunity for those who have little study of poetry and for those who are old admirers of poetry. The workshop presents the benefits of poetry beginning in the early years and continuing throughout a student’s education. Attendees will learn why poetry is an important aspect of a complete classical education. Poets studied will include Stevenson, Dickinson, Longfellow, as well as others. Attendees review poetry presented in grammar, logic and rhetoric stages.

Kathy Becker, a former Head of School from the great state of Arizona, has worked for the last nine years with schools across the nation, training teachers and advising heads of schools in the use of classical curriculum. Her greatest joy is assisting start-up schools and encouraging teachers.
