Workshop Speaker
Beyond the Timeline: Myths, Mysteries, and Meanderings from Grammar History to the Great Books
This workshop invites instructors to teach beyond the timeline by reverse engineering grammar history to align with a great books program. Instructors will be given examples and hear how students can gain a love of learning through the magic of myths, the mystery of the unknowns, the fun in veering off the path to ask good questions, the beauty of stories through artwork, and the importance of introducing epics early to create a foundation for the study of great books.
Megan Shepard served in missions for three years and taught in classrooms abroad to reach the nations for Christ. She fell in love with the relationships cultivated through teaching and saw the fulfillment of the Great Commission in education. She graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Education, and shortly after, she discovered classical Christian education and its role in preparing children for a life in Christ. She has since taught a range of subjects for grades K-12, served as a board member, and served as a headmaster. Megan currently teaches at Wilson Hill Academy.
