A Practical Approach to Classical Thought with Heather Shirley
Summary
<p class="MsoNormal">How do STEM subjects fit into the classical model of education? In this episode, Robert sits down with Heather Shirley to explore how to study math and science classically, how parents can become experts in the classical approach to education, and what resources Heather has found helpful in her own classical education journey. If you're a Classical Conversations® member, you might know Heather Shirley as our Chief Academic Advisor, although Heather has plenty of firsthand Classical Conversations experience, leading local communities for the Foundations, Essentials, Challenge III, and Challenge IV programs. Although she is passionate about the humanities, Heather originally pursued a career in STEM, receiving a bachelor's in mathematics and a master's in computer engineering. If anyone can speak to the topic of studying STEM subjects classically, it's Heather!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Show notes: <a href="https://refiningrhetoric.com/2023/02/15/heather-shirley/">refiningrhetoric.com/heather-shirley</a></p>
