Purchase options and add-ons

Charlotte Mason looked at the world and saw that it was governed by universal laws, such as the law of gravity. Then she wondered. What if there were similar laws that governed the way people learn? If we knew what those laws were, we’d be able to pursue education along the most promising lines .

She devoted her life to finding the key principles of education and then developing methods to make the most of them. The result is a comprehensive picture of living and learning that breathes life into education at every level—from babyhood to the adult years. It’s not a rote system, but a flexible set of ideas that keep education in focus.

These principles are for everyone concerned with teaching and learning. They are no more difficult to implement than the principle of gravity which allows you to walk, run, and even--when you know what you are doing--to soar.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Insight for Preparing Teachers
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Today I (Tammy Glaser) had my teachers and staff read the chapter on the third principle (authority and obedience). Karen Glass's ability to apply Charlotte Mason's thinking to modern readers is fantastic. Her analogies are spot on and helped us come up with ways to help our students see that following extra rules this year is a duty and, when done well, is in service of our friends and loved ones and it honors our King. Her illustration of a traffic free-for-all will be especially helpful in helping middle and high schoolers understand because they are either driving or they are looking forward to driving some day. The thoughtful conversations it inspired will help us lead by example since we too are under authority and we have opportunities to practice obedience when it is right.

    An excellent book that contains powerful ideas presented in illuminating and clear ways. I appreciated reading this book. I have read many Charlotte Mason themed books but this one helped me crystallize the ideas in a new way and gives me more hope in implementing them to the fullest. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning and teaching (yourself and others). Thank you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and thorough explanation of Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This book gives a thorough explanation of Charlotte Mason's 20 principles. Karen Glass boils them down to the two main ones and shows how all the others fit nicely within the main two. I have more confidence in implementing Mason's educational philosophy after reading Glass' book. It's easy to read but full of insight and brings clarity to Charlotte Mason's philosophy. I recommend for newbies and veterans of Charlotte Mason!

    As always, Karen takes a busy swirl of ideas and principles and walks you along the path, shedding light on the nooks and crannies not immediately visible. Charlotte Mason’s 20 principles have been discussed and studied by many, but I really appreciated the way this book presents them and gives inspiration.

    This is a excellent must-read for any home educator, especially those who seek a Charlotte Mason education for their children. You will be uplifted, encouraged, set free, and directed in what constitutes “true education” according to the natural laws of education and the universe. 10/10.

    For home educators, for teachers, for parents, for human beings...this book is a concise and inspirational explanation of what education is and the universal laws that govern it. If you’re curious about Charlotte Mason’s ideas on education but are reluctant to wade through her original volumes, this book will bring those ideas and principles to you in a quick and powerful way! So much goodness here...not just for education but for life, the abundant life the Creator desires for each of us.
