Join us for a rich, hands-on workshop exploring mimetic instruction. Rooted in the Christian classical tradition, mimetic teaching is built on the belief that students learn and grow in wisdom and virtue through imitation of worthy models, not by passively receiving information.
Drawing on CiRCE’s seven-stage mimetic sequence, this workshop will walk participants through the natural learning arc students follow: gathering knowledge, awakening wonder, attending to models, contemplating patterns, expressing understanding, practicing mastery, and resting in confirmation. You’ll discover how these stages help students perceive the True, the Good, and the Beautiful by engaging both mind and soul.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher, homeschool parent, or co-op leader, you’ll leave equipped with:
-A clear understanding of the purpose and power of mimetic instruction
-Practical tools for selecting and presenting types, models, and examples
-Strategies for guiding students toward deep understanding and confident application
-A renewed vision for teaching that forms virtue, not just skills
Come learn how to teach in a way that aligns with how children naturally come to know through attentive imitation, thoughtful comparison, and meaningful practice. This workshop will inspire and equip you to bring mimetic teaching to life in your own learning community.
