Classical education and disability | Amy Richards

Robert L. Jackson Season 1 Episode 3

Can classical education serve students with special needs? Can it stay classical? Can it be truly humane? Amy Richards, author of "Disability and Classical Education," joins us to explore:

📖 Wendell Berry's "Great Economy" for the classroom
📖 The dangers of trying to "solve" difference or provide "access" to systems not built with difference in mind
📖 Disability as a call to wonder
📖 A real vision of classroom success
