Photo Unavailable Topic: Education is a Discipline Developing good habits in our children is key to contentment in life. This class will focus on Charlotte Mason’s four categories of habits (intellectual, moral, physical, and religious) and how to implement them at home and in the classroom. Recent studies that detail the habits needed to survive in the 21st century are almost identical to Charlotte Mason’s. Habits are the rail lines laid down for the child to run on to his future. Let us learn together how to design and establish these rail lines!
Speaker: Mary Hubbard Biography
Mary Hubbard, a Christian school educator since the early 1980’s, has been involved in the Charlotte Mason practices and methodologies for almost 11 years finding them practical, inspiring, and naturally integrative with Christian education. Mary has an undergraduate education degree for grades K-8, has a M.Ed. in Educational Leadership, and has served as Perimeter Christian School middle school principal for the past 11 years. Mary helped establish a Christian School in Jackson, Tennessee, in the early 1980’s from which three of her four children graduated high school. She has led various seminars on middle school education, including “Education is a Discipline.” Mary is active in training both teachers and parents for the middle school experience because of her heart and passion for the middle school age child. Through incorporating the practices of Charlotte Mason, she is convinced that this is the best training “for the children’s sake.” Mary has four married children and 10 grandchildren.
