SALVETE, VOS OMNES!! This is the site for my Latin teaching methods course
for Latin Graduate Teaching Assistants, “Latin Teaching Apprenticeship” (LATN 7770: aka, “When in Rome, Remember Your SANDALS!”). The course, designed by myself and offered courtesy of the University of Georgia’s Department of Classics, carries a maximum total of three hours of graduate credit; students usually enroll for two hours of credit in the fall and an additional hour in the spring. For information, first review the syllabus and other links on this site, and then email me directly.

This site and the companion site for LATN 4770-6770 (a more general methods course for teachers of Latin at all levels, K-12 and college) are open to ANYONE, and I hope both will be of value, not just to my methods students, but to Latin teachers everywhere, especially to novice teachers and teachers-in-training-–though there may be some RES BONAE here even for veterans! The sites include, not exhaustive, but rather REPRESENTATIVE materials that may serve as models, or at least be suggestive, of the sorts of lesson plans, assessments (tests, quizzes, etc.), handouts and worksheets, powerpoints and videos, and a wide variety of other materials that Latin teachers (at ALL levels, from grade school to graduate school) may use in their classrooms (a few of the materials–forms and the like–are specific to the methods courses themselves). The LINKS pages, moreover, will direct you to a number of other websites that I regard as among the most useful to Latin teachers and that point the way to a vast treasure trove of resources to enrich your teaching.

I will be most grateful to any visitor to this site who wishes to suggest other useful websites for the LINKS page and especially to anyone who has exemplary and innovative materials (lesson plans, tests, handouts, powerpoints, video clips, etc.) and is willing to share them; I cannot post all materials, but please email me any resources you think may be appropriate and I promise to give them prompt and careful attention.

MILLE GRATIAS AC VALETE!!
