Lynette Allen began literature-based teaching in 2008 and was introduced to classical teaching in 2012. She completed a classical teaching apprenticeship in Texas and taught there prior to moving to Ohio. For the past three years she has taught at a classical academy here in Cincinnati. While teaching in several grades and subjects, she has found a particular delight in kindergarten. She especially loves leading students to discover their sense of wonder while cultivating a joy in learning. Her favorite teaching moments include sitting in a circle with her students discussing the virtues from a literature book they just read together.
