A Day in the Apprenticeship
In this event, a CiRCE Head Mentor will lead participants through a mock day of the CiRCE Master Teacher Apprenticeship program. It is a perfect workshop for those interested in learning more about the apprenticeship and for those interested in good conversations about classical education, modes of teaching, and a passage from a great book, for these are the three topics that will be discussed in this workshop.

Lost Tools of Reading
In this event, a CiRCE representative will offer an introduction to reading well. The workshop will cover how to “see” things in a story, using good questions, the CiRCE highlighting system, and looking for echoes. By learning to answer the questions the mind is naturally asking and learning to see what the best readers and writers in history have seen, we can become more interested, engaged, and eager readers.

Lost Tools of Teaching

Lost Tools of Writing Level 1
In this event, a CiRCE Certified Master Teacher will offer a detailed introduction to The Lost Tools of Writing. The teacher will reveal how to solve the three problems all writers face; the questions that make for the kind of deep thinking that leads to good writing; and why writing doesn't need to be a stressful, intimidating process. The workshop will cover the big picture of LTW, some difficulties students and teachers encounter, and a few sample lessons.

Lost Tools of Writing Level 2
In this event, a CiRCE Certified Master Teacher will offer a detailed introduction to The Lost Tools of Writing, Level II. The teacher will lead the workshop through an introduction of Level II, how it differs from Level I, how it builds on the skills and ideas taught in Level I, and how it teaches ideas that may appear particular to the courtroom but are just as valuable in learning to read literature well and even navigate the everyday experiences of life.

Lost Tools of Writing Level 3
In this event, a CiRCE Certified Master Teacher will offer a detailed introduction to The Lost Tools of Writing, Level III. The teacher will lead the workshop through an introduction of Level III, how it differs from Levels I and II, how it builds on the skills and ideas taught in those levels, and how it teaches ideas that may appear particular to a legislative session but are just as valuable in learning to read literature well and even navigate the everyday experiences of life.
