Product reviews for Trivium in Practice

Trivium 21c is an educational masterpiece, a book which presents the very nub of education in a hugely entertaining form. This sequel, Trivium in Practice, is a collection of essays by practitioners who explain how teachers might make real the theoretical model of the trivium. Tom Sherrington's practical application of the trivium in an inner-city London comprehensive school is brave, true and inspirational. Mike Grenier's short history of trivium-related pedagogy at Eton is a delight. Carl Hendrick's contribution is typically intellectually challenging. The final chapter, which details Dr Jonathan L. Taylor's work at Cranleigh School, should give hope to all of us who yearn to educate our students, not school them to be qualification hoop-jumpers. This is a book whose time is now, which reflects the courage of practitioners who can rightly call themselves educators.
