Show Notes
The Ethos, Pathos and Logos in Forming a New Model of Testing
Rather than teach to test, creating “testing fatigue”, the classical movement has ideas for making the content matter. Consider a new and helpful tool for Classical renewal.
In this podcast, Soren Schwab discusses (CLT) Classical Learning Test, with Adrienne and Trae as they voice the many known questions and concerns about testing. Studies have proven that make the case for better content. There is a disconnect between evaluating a student’s achievement of test content, and a real aptitude by students who reason through a problem. Here, we explore something less exhausting than testing for days.
Some topics in this episode include:
Here is a common question: How do we deal with tests?
How can content help change the outcome?
Is it a popular need to look for learning gaps in students?
Why not test prep?
How do we address the big question about aptitude vs. achievement ?

Books & Titles Mentioned In This Episode
Soren's favorite quote originally in German: "Tradition ist nicht das Halten der Asche, sondern das Weitergeben der Flamme" - ein berühmtes Zitat, geprägt von Thomas Morus (1478-1535).
The Gutav Mahler paraphrase "Tradition is not the worship of ashes but the preservation of fire"
