Abstract Details

2014, MLS, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Liberal Studies Program.
I pursued a Liberal Studies Masters so that I could choose a combination of courses that best served my interests: Classical Latin, Curriculum/Methodology, and Marketing. I realized quickly in my first year of teaching that I needed various ideas and materials with which to engage students' interests for learning Latin. In fall, 2009, I copyrighted my first instructional material. A marketer for an educational catalog was interested in this material, yet when she presented me with options (sell the copyright, produce the materials myself, or collect royalties from the company's productions), my attachment to my work inhibited negotiations. This classroom calendar and accompanying instructional plans had been my first production and copyright, so I had not expected to received such quick interest in it. I had so much pride in it that I could not part with the copyright. Additionally, I did not have the means to produce it myself. By the time that I had made a decision, I lost the contract. Thus my need for Liberal Studies arose. I wanted not only to further my knowledge in Latin, its curriculum and methodology, but also to acquire the business skills that would teach me how to share my instructional strategies with others. This narrative capstone essay will report the ways in which educational reform influenced my teaching strategies and demonstrate how my Liberal Studies' subjects came together cohesively to assist me in developing marketable instructional materials so that I can not only facilitate students' language acquisition but also aid the preservation of Classical Latin in public schools.
