Charlotte Mason Northwest
Regional Symposium
Meet the Our Speakers
Sarah Dale
Portland, Oregon
Making Connections That Matter
Charlotte Mason's principles #9-15 cover the classic concepts of Education as the Science of Relations and Narration. Enjoy a deep dive into the practical application of these principles and the reasons as to why these concepts make a Charlotte Mason education unique from other approaches..
Leyla Folsom
Keizer, Oregon
Children are Born Persons...and Other Radical Ideas
Charlotte Mason's ideas of childhood and education were radical for her time - and radical for ours. Leyla kicks off the symposium by busting some myths about a Charlotte Mason education and dives into her principles, starting with the high-minded philosophy about how we view our children, and moving into the practicalities of what a Mason education can look like in our homes.
Sarah Dempsen
Harrah, Washington
Choose This Day:
Reason, The Will, and Our Continual Helper
Mason's last few principles strike at the heart of character development and our "chief responsibility as persons." Sarah will walk us through how to help our students develop a stronger ability to defy the passionate "wants" in favor of "shoulds," how to use reason and truth to evaluate ideas encountered every day, and how we can help our children rely on the Great Comforter to guide and direct them in the way of Truth.
