Join us for Gutenberg College’s Annual Education Conference!
This August 8-9, we are pleased to invite K-12 teachers, school administrators, and homeschooling parents to Gutenberg College’s Annual Education Conference in Eugene, Oregon. Every year, we gather in the beautiful Pacific Northwest for fellowship to thoughtfully consider what it means to educate students within a Biblical worldview.
What’s the theme of this year’s conference?
This year, we are delighted to welcome some of America’s finest classical educators from the CiRCE Institute (Heidi White & Matt Bianco) and Classical Conversations (Diane Gray) to join us as we explore the theme Teacher as Mentor.
Modern education often presents teachers as specialists tasked with imparting expert knowledge to students. Yet, by primarily imparting facts and information, a specialist’s focus too often becomes overly narrow and overlooks the development of the whole student. This kind of oversight can leave a graduate with major blind spots in his or her understanding and outlook. By contrast, the teacher as mentor embraces the project of delivering more than subject-specific content and works to cultivate the moral, spiritual, and intellectual health of the whole student. In this education conference, we will explore the nature and practices of mentorship in pursuit of equipping students with tools, skills, and wisdom to live faithfully before God. We invite you to join us this August for food, fellowship, and meaningful discussion as we explore what it means to mentor our students.
What should I expect from a Gutenberg conference?
If this is your first Gutenberg conference, we welcome you! We eat meals together, discuss together, and learn together. Gutenberg conferences are intimate and personal with lots of opportunity to interact, ask questions, and make progress in your own learning. Discussion and open dialogue are central to our approach as we work together to discover meaning, truth, and goodness from a Biblical perspective. Our desire is for all who attend to grow in spiritual, intellectual, and emotional depth.
Teen track coming soon:
We are in the process of finalizing our teen track portion of the conference. Be on the lookout for more information.
