Welcome to Latin Lead Learner

About Latin Lead Learner

Classical Conversations regularly reminds their Challenge directors that they are lead learners.  Being a lead learner, rather than certified expert, can be a freeing and liberating mindset for directors who face the daunting task of leading 6 different strands.  We don’t need to be the experts, but show a love for learning and how to find the answers.  However, one major problem (at least for me) was how do I find those experts?  How do I go from not knowing a word of Latin to leading students in not only knowing but loving it?  This question confronted me in 2017 when I started directing Challenge A and has continued to confront me as I have moved up all the way through the challenge levels. 

I am not in any way claiming to have arrived as a Latin expert. If you would like (or need) an expert then I have listed in the page "other helpful resources" people who help teach Henle Latin. Latin Lead Learner is the combined resources and knowledge that I have gained over the years. I have taught through the Latin in Challenge A-III many times. Though not an expert, I have hopefully blazed a trail others can follow. 

Each time I have taught, I have made adjustments, refinements, and improvements so that I have accumulated helpful resources and tools to help you in the teaching of Henle Latin. 

​

The courses led and the resources provided through Latin Lead Leaner are thus geared to help CC licensed directors teach their own students with clear, organized, informed, and guide-sequenced resources and instruction.  They are not perfect, but they have proved useful for me, my students, and for over 400 directors since the 2020-2021 academic year.

PLEASE DON’T LET COST KEEP YOU FROM SIGNING UP! I want to help directors, and thus if you can’t afford this, then let me know, and I will give you a scholarship.  I give them as needed, which has been everything from totally giving it for free or other amounts. More about costs can be found at signing up.
