How to Find and Train Latin (or Greek) Teachers for Your School
Every classical Christian school needs teachers qualified in a classical language to make its curriculum successful. However, teachers who know Latin or Greek are hard to find and often turn over too quickly. In this workshop, Tim Griffith (from New Saint Andrews College) and Jonathan Roberts (from the Ancient Language Institute) provide models for supplying long-term language faculty, covering 1) how to find people who both know the language and can teach it, 2) how to make your own language teachers from scratch, and 3) how to train and maintain current teachers.
