The Paideia Group Inc.
A non profit organization dedicated to improving teaching and learning in our schools to better prepare our future citizens.

Paideia (pi day a) Greek, meaning the upbringing of a child.

Paideia is an educational program presented by Mortimer Adler and the Paideia Group in 1982. It is designed for all students in order to better educate our future citizens. The goals are to prepare students:

to earn a living,

to be a citizen,

to be a lifelong learner.

Paideia is a dynamic approach to restructuring schools to foster more active learning and a better use of teacher and student time. The curriculum stresses key ideas, basic skills and significant facts. Activities include:

Socratic teaching in seminars with primary sources (e.g., documents, essays, speeches, stories, art and math and science experiments) for understanding,

Coaching sessions for development of specific skills (e.g., reading, writing, listening, analyzing, computing, and problem-solving),

Didactic instruction for recall of important facts and information.

Find out how to begin the various ways of implementation, curriculum planning and evaluation.

Find out how to renew yourself and your staff with new energy, ideas and commitment.

Come and explore what can be done in today's schools--that can improve attendance, school climate, reading, writing, communication skills and integrate the curriulum.
