      <title>&apos;The Seven Laws of Teaching | Law #7: The Law of Review and Application</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i><strong>The completion, test, and confirmation of teaching must be made by reviews.</strong></i></p>
<p>In the final episode of our <i>Seven Laws of Teaching</i> series, Ryan Gilmore is joined by Oak Grove teacher Michelle Stevens to explore John Milton Gregory’s Law of Review and Application. Together, they discuss why learning is not complete until students actively use, articulate, and revisit what they have been taught. This conversation highlights the power of consistent review, Socratic dialogue, and joyful accountability, reminding educators that knowledge must move beyond exposure into ownership. The episode closes the series with a clear invitation: finish the work of teaching by helping students live what they learn.</p>

      <title>The Seven Laws of Teaching | Law #4: The Law of the Lesson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this fifth episode of our series on John Milton Gregory’s <i>Seven Laws of Teaching</i>, Ryan Gilmore is joined by longtime first grade teacher and lower grammar department chair Don Montgomery to explore the Law of the Lesson. Together they reflect on why effective teaching must begin with what students already know and intentionally guide them toward what they do not yet understand. The conversation highlights the importance of review, encouragement, and pacing, especially in classrooms and home settings where teachers feel pressure to move quickly. This episode offers practical wisdom for teachers and parent co-teachers who want learning to be clear, confidence-building, and truly formative rather than rushed or fragmented.</p>

The conversation highlights the importance of review, encouragement, and pacing, especially in classrooms and home settings where teachers feel pressure to move quickly. This episode offers practical wisdom for teachers and parent co-teachers who want learning to be clear, confidence-building, and truly formative rather than rushed or fragmented.</p>

      <title>The Seven Laws of Teaching | Introduction</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this opening episode of our eight-part series, we introduce John Milton Gregory and his Seven Laws of Teaching and explore why they continue to matter for Christian classical educators. Gregory reminds us that teaching works best when it aligns with the way students actually learn rather than personal preference, and that this kind of teaching leads to deep and lasting formation. We also consider why his framework fits naturally within a University-Model® School, uniting classroom teachers and parent co-teachers around shared principles of learning. In the episodes ahead, seasoned educators from our community bring each law to life with practical wisdom you can put into practice right away.</p><p>Free PDF of <a href="https://veritaspress.com/resourcefFiles/Seven-Laws-of-Teaching-eBook.pdf?_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJtYXJpc3Nhdi50aG9tcHNvbkBnbWFpbC5jb20iLCAia2xfY29tcGFueV9pZCI6ICJQZWhFVEYifQ%3D%3D&srsltid=AfmBOooGFBHdILCoGtk0JhXAuPdy4FlGHO3029avCRBwzs4lDbjz3Tvi" target="_blank">The Seven Laws of Teaching</a> by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! </p><p><a href="https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/" target="_blank">https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/</a></p><p><a href="https://naumsinc.org/" target="_blank">https://naumsinc.org/ </a></p>
