In this episode, Linda Pryor is joined by Dr. Daniel Coupland, Dean of Masters in Classical Education and Professor of Education at Hillsdale College. The two have an engaging discussion about the key components and value of a classical teaching of reading and grammar. His broad background in linguistics, as a classroom teacher, as well as his role educating teachers provides for an interesting conversation about both broad concepts and practical ideas for parents and grandparents.

Dr. Coupland has won numerous awards and written several books. His book titled, Tried & True: A Primer on Sound Pedegogy, is used by educators across the nation. One reviewer said this about the book, “Dan Coupland provides essential answers to crucial questions teachers face every day in their classrooms. Drawing on his years of experience as a teacher and as a teacher of teachers, he presents a resource rich in wisdom for all in the field, whether a new teacher or an experienced educator.”
