About The Charlotte Mason Educational Review
3) If you will notice in this first issue, there are articles written by Mason (the past).
While we are applying Mason to our current times (the present), we also want to hear what Mason
and those around her had to say. Therefore, we will include articles from the
Parents' Review and from Mason and others that are applicable to our theme.
4) We hope to reach a wide audience of Mason enthusiasts. This will include educators from schools
both government and non-government schools as well as home educators, and university faculty.
There will be one article each issue from an educational scholar. We hope this article will help us work
toward (the future) a greater understanding of Mason's work and how we can continue to apply her
principles into the future.
There is one other goal that I have not mentioned. In fact, it is the primary reason the idea of this Review was hatched to begin with. To access future issues of the the Review you must register online at www.childlightusa.org, get a login and password (coming soon), and pay a fee. The proceeds from the fee will go to the Armitt (5) for the preservation of the Mason archives. According to John Thorley, there are documents that are falling apart and need rescuing immediately. We want to preserve these documents for future study and research by those who come behind us in the years ahead. We must do our part; even those of us across the Atlantic a long way from the Lake District. We all must share in the cost and work that is needed to preserve Mason's documents. She is truly God's gift to us over one hundred years since her work began.
These are our goals. As the the Review grows and develops, we know that our goals and objectives will do the same. We ask you to join us in our efforts to save the Mason archives and along the way enjoy with us reading and learning about Mason's educational philosophy and pedagogy.
We welcome your letters, comments, encouragements and suggestions on how we might improve. Fill out the form at Contact Us page.
Organisational Structure of The Review
For organisational purposes, each year The Review will have a theme. During that year we will focus on a topic that we hope will be useful to readers. We hope to present the theme with a past, present and future perspective as you saw indicated through the goals section above. We begin with the theme of Imagination (our trial run). It will be a self-contained theme for this issue only. Following that we will finish 2007, with the theme of curriculum taken from the ChildlightUSA conference in June of 2005.
