An Ever Ancient, Ever New Guide to Education from the Teacher Who Inspired the Pope

Pope Leo XIV, who used to be a high school math and physics teacher, calls himself a "son of St. Augustine." Much of the foundation for modern education was laid by St Augustine, one of the greatest and most influential philosophers in history and an experienced teacher in his own right. This presentation will look at what Augustine had to say about what to teach, how to teach, and how a student’s mind learns things, and will discuss how we can apply his timeless wisdom to contemporary classrooms.
