Ep. 49 – Jennifer Courtney: Workshop on Reading Poetry

Scott Postma February 23, 2024

This is Episode 49 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.

This episode is a workshop on Reading Poetry given by Jennifer Courtney at the New England Consortium of Classical Educators in the summer of 2023. 

Jennifer Courtney has a passion for developing curriculum that helps homeschool parents to give their children a classical, Christian education. She and her husband Tim live in Oklahoma and have home educated their four children, three through graduation. She currently serves as the Sr. Global Curriculum Director for Classical Conversations MultiMedia. Jennifer is the author of Ancient World Echoes, Old World Echoes, and New World Echoes. These readers include fairy tales, fables, and poems designed to be read as a family. As a child, Jennifer loved Charles Dickens so much that she used to carry a hardback copy of his stories to kindergarten.

The New England Consortium of Classical Educators (NECCE) exists to point New England to the unifying Truth found in Christ and His creation, the Good of fellowship with like-minded individuals, and the Beauty reflected in great works of literature, science, and art, through teaching, conversation, and conferences.
