Classroom Management in the Classical Tradition Workshop - Summer Session
Many classical educators enter the classroom with passion for their subject but little formal training in classroom management. This practical workshop bridges that gap. Drawing on both classical educational philosophy and insights from behavioral psychology and cognitive science, participants will develop a preventative framework for cultivating order and joy in their classrooms. Sessions explore topics such as establishing norms and routines, setting narratives, partnering with parents, and administering wise discipline.
Will Killmer
Will Killmer has taught Latin at The Veritas School in Richmond, Virginia for 9 years. After graduating from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Classics, Will earned two M.A.’s at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Recognizing his need to improve his teaching craft, Will embarked on a journey to examine the tradition of Latin learning and teaching over the past 2000 years, as well as research on how second languages are acquired. This quest led him to investigate classroom management and culture building, drawing inspiration from both classical sources and modern research in cognitive science. Will has shared his insights at conferences including the Society for Classical Learning’s Conference, the American Council on Teaching Foreign Language’s Convention, and the Foreign Language Association of Virginia’s Fall Conference. He is interested in the cognitive science of memory, the history of notebooks, and memorizing Scripture. He and his wife Jenn have been married for 13 years and live in Richmond with their three daughters.
