The Classical Charlotte Mason approach to education is not just a philosophy. It is a lifestyle.
In The Joyful Rigor Handbook, companion volume to the author’s earlier Joyful Rigor, teachers discover ideas, examples, and motivation to keep them flourishing over the long-haul.
Because teachers develop best in community, each chapter of this book concludes with questions designed for small group discussion. Teachers can delve into the book with their peers and consider topics such as teaching with a kingdom mindset, celebrating in the classroom, and triumphing through change. Wherever teachers are in their educational journey—from first-year instructor to well-traveled sage, The Joyful Rigor Handbook offers encouragement, perspective, and inspiration.
