Join our conversation with professor Jack Beckman of Covenant College. His career studies have been focused on the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason. In his own words, "If Charlotte Mason (1842-1923) was right, then education is indeed a life as I have spent over 40 years under the regulus and patterns of teaching and learning - initially as an Early Childhood educator in the classroom, then as an educational leader, and finally as Professor of Elementary Education at Covenant College. Each of these contexts has allowed me the privilege of working with students, teachers, and parents on a variety of levels involving instructional pedagogy, curriculum development, and teacher professional learning."
