As faith in our institutions wavers, so too has our trust in our modern educational models. Teachers themselves generally remain dedicated and idealistic. Most still believe they have a noble calling. But increasingly teachers find themselves frustrated, exhausted, and wondering if they should change professions. Across the country, schools both public and private struggle to retain experienced educators. At the same time modern technology, from YouTube to AI, raises the question of the very relevance of everything associated with education as we know it.
Experienced teacher David Mathwin argues that part of the problem resides within the teaching profession itself. Teachers often lack a fundamental understanding of the true nature of their job. In addition, many teachers fail to mesh their instructional methods with how we encounter reality. This disconnect greatly hampers students' ability to discern meaning and purpose from their environments.
In this book veteran teacher David Mathwin charts a path towards recovering meaning and purpose in the teaching profession. Borrowing generously from the insights of modern thinkers such as Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Peterson, as well as patristic luminaries such as St. Maximus the Confessor and St. Gregory of Nyssa, Mathwin shows teachers how to map their instructional methods onto the patterns of creation.
Illuminated with various anecdotes from Mathwin's teaching career, The Classroom as Cosmos gives teachers a framework to act with confidence in their classrooms. We can subvert our industrialized surroundings. We can meet reality. When this happens, teaching becomes more meaningful and effective all at once.
