Description
Using Adler’s Three Pillars of Instruction
a ClassicalU Live Learning Course
In the early 1980s, educational philosopher Mortimer Adler published a trilogy of books proposing a reform of educational practice in the United States: The Paideia Proposal (1982), Paideia Problems and Possibilities (1983), and The Paideia Program (1984). One of the most important outcomes of Adler’s efforts was a method of teaching that relied upon three pillars: didactic instruction, coaching, and seminar. Professor Jon Balsbaugh will lead this course on how to use the pillars of instruction in the classroom. The course will include reading and presentations on the practical application of the material to the contemporary classroom setting and a wide range of subjects.
