In a fragmented world full of students striving for disordered loves, the pursuit of intellectual virtues offers a form and foundation for developing humans and a noble ideal for teachers and students to uphold. Teachers of all varieties and situations will appreciate the call back to the true purposes of education for which they originally answered."" -- Journal of School Choice"

Baehr continues to work at the intersection of philosophy and education, writing about intellectual virtues, speaking at conferences, and doing professional development work with secondary and postsecondary educators.
