I want to collect information about giving children a good education. At all levels from infancy up to about 18 years of age.
Gather good practices from around the world.
And finally synthesise all of that information into a cohesive system that can actually be used to educate a child growing up.
Here are the really good resources I have found so far, in no particular order:
Very thorough catechetical curriculum providers: Sophia Teachers Loyola Press
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a totally different take on catechesis that is inspired by the Montessori method. It is based on the idea of a well prepared environment (called the Atrium) and a well prepared adult, the Catechist. It recognises the religious potential of the child. My reading notes: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: An Introduction Some books that make good background reading: The Religious Potential of the Child by Sofia Cavalletti Listening to God With Children by Gianna Gobbi The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey, edited by Rebekah Rojcewicz The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in a Parish Setting by Tina Lillig
