The Seven Laws of Teaching | Law #6: The Law of the Learning Process

Episode Summary

In this seventh episode of our Seven Laws of Teaching series, Ryan Gilmore is joined by Logic School Humane Letters Chair Cara Pilgreen to explore John Milton Gregory’s Law of the Learning Process. Together, they examine how true learning moves beyond memorization into understanding, expression, proof, and application, requiring active ownership from the student. This conversation encourages teachers and parent co-teachers alike to slow down, invite curiosity, and cultivate learners who investigate truth deeply, connect ideas meaningfully, and carry their learning into life with wisdom and faith.

Episode Notes

Learners must actively reproduce in their own minds the truth they are acquiring.
