Pints with Jack Podcast

​Host David Bates interviews Christine about classical education and her love of C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces.​
​

Kepler Education

Reading aloud well can bring beauty to the reader and their audience. Spoken words can bring life to the written word on a page. Because words reach our classes through our voice and our students’ voices, a disciplined voice and ear are vital to good reading in every subject. Using cues from what we read, this workshop reviews pitch, inflection, monotone, word color, quality, and timbre perfect for teachers looking to improve their own reading voices and their students'.

The Classical Thistle​

Watch Christine teach fellow teachers about how to nest tales in the literature or history they teach to expand our students' learning.
