The end of the year is a good time to take stock and review how far we’ve come. These last few days I’ve been doing this, both for myself through rereading my bullet journals<\/a>, but also for Educational Renaissance by rereading all the old articles of 2019 in search of gems of wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, I was impressed by the unity of thought among the Educational Renaissance writers<\/a>, as well as the presence of quite a few memorable maxims in the midst of all that dense (or playful) educational theory and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A maxim is usually defined as a short pithy statement that expresses a general truth or rule of conduct. Since many of you have joined the Educational Renaissance community in late 2019, I thought a review of some of the most memorable maxims of 2019 might inspire you to read through old articles to find something of value for your educational work as you enter 2020. Now admittedly, some of these “maxims” are pithier than others, and I had a lot of high quality contenders with 29 articles to date, so it was very hard to decide on the best ones. I’ve put them in order of the sequence in which they were published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before our list of maxims we have a few announcements to share with the community as we close out the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End of 2019 Announcements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a team we reviewed our work since August in a meeting last week and one of the things we were most proud of was keeping our commitment to produce a quality new article every week. With the demands of teaching and administration and our standards for quality, this was no easy feat, even with the three of us now laboring away together. Our goal has been to publish every Saturday morning to give you a consistent source of inspiration every weekend to prepare you for the next week of educational work. If you aren’t receiving our weekly updates, be sure to sign up for that through our pop up form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2020 we’ve got a lot of exciting plots and plans for promoting a rebirth of ancient wisdom about education in the modern era. For instance, Patrick is working on a new eBook on implementing habit training in the classroom. This will be a great pairing with Jason’s very successful eBook on implementing narration<\/a>. Likewise, Jason plans on turning his Flow of Thought series into an eBook and continuing to write and share more on narration through other venues, and either through revising the narration eBook or turning it into a full length treatment of the practice. Kolby’s still thinking through options for a longer work and connecting with venues. Lastly, earlier this month we had our first podcast recording session<\/strong> and had a blast recording together a long discussion on the idea of an educational renaissance and a short discussion of Aristotle on excellence. We don’t plan to launch the podcast for some time, but stay tuned for more announcements about that in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please let us know of any exciting ideas or suggestions you have for Educational Renaissance as a community member. We’d love to work toward building more of a community around our unique message of ancient wisdom for the modern era. If you haven’t followed our page on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, take a moment to do that, and share articles and resources you really like through social media; it really helps us get the word out. And now without further ado…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 Memorable Maxims from 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

-From Educating for Self-Control, Part 1: A Lost Christian Virtue<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-From Overcoming Procrastination<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
