Educated in Catholic schools from grades 1-12, Kari Morris Carr is delighted to join the Institute in promoting the Catholic liberal arts. Kari began her career in Catholic education through the Inner-City Teaching Corps, which prepared new teachers to live and work in historically underserved parishes and Catholic schools in Chicago, IL. Though trained in modern methods, Kari found her way to the classical liberal arts approach in 2003 and worked at a classical Christian school as a teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, and later Director of Academic Development where she led professional development across three campuses. She also teaches at the university level and has incorporated classical pedagogy where possible in her instruction of new teachers. She has specialized in math instruction and logic but delights in all subjects, which point to the majesty of Christ.\u00a0 Kari homeschooled four of her five children in the Catholic liberal arts during the Covid pandemic. She earned her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies in 2014 from Indiana University, where she studied and worked with urban Catholic schools in Indianapolis.

Alisha Barker gained an enthusiasm for liberals arts education as an undergraduate through the impassioned teaching of a favorite college professor. After teaching English as a second language in Taiwan and earning her MA in literature at Baylor University, she joined the faculty of a classical Christian school in Waco, Texas in 2009. She has taught first, fourth, and fifth grade and now serves as the Assistant Dean of the Grammar School. As she worked with students with language-based learning differences in the classroom, she gained an appreciation for both the challenges and gifts a liberal arts education offers these students. When her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia, she took a deep dive into the science of reading as she trained to become a certified academic language therapist (CALT). Her ability to offer dyslexia therapy, alongside her work as an administrator and ICLE\u2019s literacy specialist, allows her to bring her experiences together to help support teachers and students alike in their pursuit of liberal arts education. She and her husband have one son and three daughters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
