Wholehearted Teaching with Adrian Del Monte
When Families Teach Together with John, Nic and Lukas Notten
This episode shows that strong teaching has all the same attributes as strong families: an emphasis on following your passions, finding ways to serve others, collaborating together and, most importantly, a cohesion between what happens in the classroom and what happens in the household.
In this episode, I talk with a whole family of teachers: John Notten, a retired teacher of 30 years and his two sons, Nic and Lukas, who are both just starting off in their teaching careers. The boys talk about what they saw in their father, and their father tells why he is so proud of his sons.
At the end of the episode the Notten men discuss how they would bring together all their subject disciplines-- Art, English, History, Math and Physics-- to teach the perfect lesson together. It's a hoot!
Enjoy!
