Prose and Context is a weekly series that explores practical and current issues surrounding how to best help our students achieve real and lasting literacy both inside and outside of the classroom. Hosted by the Lexington Christian Academy English department, conversations are focused on encouraging innovation and scholarship in ourselves and our fellow educators. We believe that being thoughtful and strategic in our classrooms promotes lifelong learners. With this in mind, our hosts tackle topics such as the role of grades in the classroom, the relevancy of classic literature, the power of incorporating tech tools, strategies for delivering meaningful feedback to students, and a variety of issues relating to our field.
