Charlotte Mason Educational Conference Lectures

Topic: Charlotte Mason Today As we engage life and education in the 21st Century, just how well have CM ideas and methodologies remained relevant for today? Are there current practices and trends that have verified the timelessness of her philosophy? If they knew of her and her views of the child and the teaching and learning process, would any modern educators find in Mason a kindred spirit? These questions will be addressed in an examination of Charlotte Mason for education in the new millennium.
Speaker: Lisa Cadora Biography
Lisa Cadora has studied Mason since providentially hearing of her from Ranald and Susan Macaulay at a Rochester, MN L'Abri Conference in the summer of 1982, while an undergraduate education major at Covenant College. She found a few of Mason's volumes in the college library upon returning to school that fall, and was entirely swept up in what she recognized as a much needed antidote to the decidedly mechanistic approach to teaching prevalent in most teacher education programs and even Christian education practice in those days. She was blessed to find a school some years later (Intown Community School) that employed Mason's methods and has enjoyed a career of teaching, learning and sharing Mason's ideas and practice with those who endeavor to bring a “sane” education to children and families in diverse settings. Lisa lives in Cincinnati, OH with her husband Matt who is a PCA pastor and two dachshunds who preside over home security. She currently teaches basic writing and college-level reading at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College and is a catechist in The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd children’s spiritual formation program at Faith Presbyterian Church.
