This loop (formerly a Smartgroups.com group) was created for homeschoolers interested in presenting school materials, real books, and/or purchased curriculum in a manner consistent with Classical Education philosophy. Specifically, Classical Education refers to educational models (such as the Trivium) described by Laura Berquist, the Bluedorns, Dorothy Sayers, Doug Wilson, Jessie Wise, Susan Wise Bauer, and others, in which material is presented to children according to their stage of development (i.e., Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric stages). The purpose of this loop is PRACTICAL in nature: to share resource suggestions, reviews, schedules, ideas, and encouragement, in order to help one another provide Classical Education within the homeschool environment. Materials discussed include: resources from Beautiful Feet, Bluestocking Press, Greenleaf, Memoria, and Veritas Press; curriculum from Biblioplan, Calvert, Learning Adventure, Mystery of History, Sonlight, Tapestry of Grace, Truthquest, TRISMS, and The Well Trained Mind; and many others (both religious and secular).
