My newest book has just today been launched. It is entitled: Re-founding Education: Jesus’ Teaching Method for Parents, Pastors, Teachers & Administrators.
We know we have problems. Yet, all the tried solutions disappoint. This is because we are using the same model of education that was intentionally put on the wrong track. Let’s get back on the right track, by following the Great Teacher, Jesus.
Even a non-Christian would admit that Jesus must have been a great teacher, since his teaching still inspires so many people. Why are not Christian schools and Christian teachers looking into how Jesus taught? The last published attempt was 1895!
We start with a brief history of education in the United States — which ends up being very revealilng. We briefly cover the situation in private schools and educational movements. Then, we get into 7 lessons from how Jesus taught. Then, we very briefly point the way forward.
BTW, the book is on sale now, in Kindle format: https://www.amazon.com/Re-founding-Education-Teaching-Teachers-Administrators-ebook/dp/B0DXHN8XGZ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
And yes, for sure, you can get help implementing this vision. Just contact me for structure and rates. info@ NOSPAM orgstrat.net
About this time of year, parents are frustrated with:
their child not reading,
their child not understanding their math,
the child’s teacher not caring,
the school not working.
Yes, I know. I’ve been there. My daughter has been there with her children too. However, we have lots of victory to tell about.
Come to me. Let me either tutor your child OR show you how to “home-school.” Either way, call now. Now is the time for good foundations. Now is the time to instill the love of learning. ssarles@protonmail.com
Do not let the government school teach your child that learning is stupid and bad ….. or impossible! Do not let them cause inability to read or inability to do math. Stop now, and go a different direction. Learning is fun and just about every child can learn to read — easily! Like play!
And then, outperform academically and in life.
I am seeing an ad from University of Texas/UT High school advertising free online high school. If your students are taking this or any similar program and would like a tutor or guide to that system, please call on me. Can tutor online, securely. Also will organize first of term webinars on the care/feeding/safety around professors. Will address concerns of both secular, conservative, and/or Christian students. email me at info@orgstrat.net.
Also, fyi: Don’t Lose Your Faith in College (book I wrote)
First 8 listed are ready to go, and want sign-ups. I would like to have facetoface classes in Lubbock or Cedar Park, but could go online. Of course, that is good news to anyone not in one of those 2 locations! Courses are $300 a semester, running 14 weeks from after Labor Day to mid December. Study groups may run less.
Please request courses that are “forthcoming;” I will publish the most requested courses first.
I have done educational consulting for many years. Now, I am hearing that there is a new wave of homeschoolers who are exiting government schools now, but because of the urgency of the hour, feel unprepared to homeschool. Good news! Some of us have been doing this for a long time. Let me help you! I homeschooled my daughter and my grandsons. I have consulted for educators of all kinds since… gosh the 1980s. I have coached some home educators, too. My family has success to tell about in many different kinds of learning problems. I have helped many students make outstanding gains. Take up your courage. I can give you a hour for $200.00 via phone. Call me for a time to chat.
Parents everywhere are exiting government schools, as well they should. It is an Exodus in more ways than one. I am hearing that so many new homeschoolers are bewildered because they have no background. I am hearing that people are dismayed at the difficulty of setting up a school. Let me help you. Whether you want some coaching, an ongoing parent support group, a school consultant, or even a new Headmaster (only if in Texas with a budget) CALL ME. I CAN HELP YOU. I CAN MAKE IT EASIER THAN YOU CAN BELIEVE! Licensed childcare centers are hard and I have helped owners, boards, and directors for over 20 years. I have done what you are doing. So have others. Let me help. email : info@greatshalom.org
The Montessori Method of education was born in an experimental school in slum housing in Rome. They asked Dr. Montessori MD who had had success with mentally retarded children, to set up a school. Just as her former students out performed others, so did these. They loved learning! The Bishop came to see. The press noised this about in The States.
Dr. Montessori said that her efforts to reform education based on scientific observation and a servant’s heart was a mission from God. Much later, she promoted the cause of peace and favored the League of Nations. Today, because some Montessorians are very liberal, many Christians are wary of it.
Today, there is a long-standing, time-testing Christian outlet for training in the Montessori Method that I recommend. It is The Christian Montessori Fellowship, run by Mr. and Mrs. Fidellow. Here is there site to encourage and equip parents. https://www.crossmountainmedia.com/
All parents are educators. Those who educate at home may particular feel the need for help in teaching reading and solid mathematical foundations. The practical portion of the Montessori Method does this in an unsurpassed way. Studies show that students coming out of Montessori preschools outclass all others.
NEW! Early college start — free credit at the community college level seems like a good deal, financially, for homeschooled high schoolers. But think. Do you really want to put your child, socially, in the midst of adults who were not successful in their high school? Do you really think that the academic level at a community college is as high as your high school honors student? Do you have idea of the level of communism, wokeness, critical race theory, pornography and sheer anti-Christianity that they are likely to be exposed to? So, don’t you desire an alternative?
Now you have one! Proctored [online] early college start classes! A long-term instructor, retired from the local community college, who is also a long-time Christian, inerrantist will offer proctoring. Your student can study on their laptops but in the same room as other home educated students and socialize on breaks with similar students. Further, given her two Master’s degrees and experience in the system, she can provide mentorship in navigating the system, managing academics, and facing the onslaught to faith.
Also offered: History, Government, Economics, and Sociology courses taught directly, face to face, with similar students. You give the credit. Student should be able to handily CLEP the college credit or take AP exam. However, we are teaching for understanding the subject matter, how to succeed academically, and how to be a servant leader, more than merely teaching to the test.
Please contact Ms. Sarles today : 512-534-5425 info@orgstrat.net . Please also see her book : Don’t Lose Your Faith in College : Loose it! Also written for my community college level students: How to Win the Game of School
