Bringing Back the Power of the One-Room Schoolhouse and Agriculture in Education – with Dennita Miskimen
Imagine journeying back in time to explore the foundations of good education - that's precisely what we'll be doing today. We'll be scrutinizing the progressive education movement of the 1920s and discussing how one-room schoolhouses and community-centric learning used to be the norm. Hear about the family teaching model at The Little Red Schoolhouse, a powerful system that harnesses the power of mentoring to aid in students' maturity. The second half of our episode is graced by the insights of Dennita Miskimen, an educator who courageously pivoted from the public school arena to founding her own school program. We take an insider's tour of her Little Red Schoolhouse, exploring how she upholds biblical values and ensures her students outperform their public school peers, academically. We then delve into the significance of country life in education, as we discuss the unique Virginia school that prioritizes a Child's development as God intended.
