James Daniels on Cultivating Human-ness in Our Students

Forma

Welcome to FORMA, a podcast featuring conversations with authors, teachers, creators, and community leaders who are carefully contemplating the nature and practice of classical education.

In this episode, we are re-running a conversation David had on the old Quiddity podcast with our friend James Daniels, in which they discussed how to cultivate human-ness in our students and children.

Topics of conversation include common places in the classroom, habits vs. subjects, how the seven liberal arts cultivate humans, how to avoid teaching gnostically, seeing the world as children, and much, much more. We think it's the perfect conversation for this time of year when the school year is feeling long and the winter months are lingering.

Money quote: "I'm not teaching content, I'm teaching students."
