Favorite Resources, Part 2
Here are more Alveary resources that are sometimes overlooked.
- Reflective Practice: You can find this printable book in your Dashboard. It contains insightful questions and resources for every week of the school year as a support for you. We recommend reading the opening section up to term one before you start planning each year.
- Foundations online courses: "Alveary Foundations: Relational Ideas" is an online course with videos that gives you an overview of Charlotte Mason's philosophy. "Alveary Foundations: Relational Methods" gives practical tips and videos on how to teach different subjects.
- Office Hours Spreadsheet: This is a listing of every past Office Hours topic with links to the recordings. It’s a treasure trove! We also post this link in every office hours event on the Hive.
- Training Resources: Scroll down the resources webpage just a bit, and you’ll find a searchable database of videos, articles, etc. on many aspects of Charlotte Mason education. You can schedule time throughout the year and use these resources as a virtual Charlotte Mason conference!
- Conversations on Relational Education (CORE) and other CMI courses: There are several courses available on the resources page of the Charlotte Mason Institute website for beginner to advanced Charlotte Mason educators. These courses are separate from Alveary (and open to anyone), so they do have a registration fee. More courses are in the works, so watch Alveary Weekly for updates!
