Download or read book Humanizing the Classroom written by Kristin Stuart Valdes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing trend in education for educators to support students in the development of social and emotional skills. SEL mandates are now part of many state assessments and national initiatives, and there are countless curriculum from which principals and teachers may choose. However, many of these curricular materials fail to address the question of pedagogy, or what is the best method for teaching social and emotional skills? Humanizing the Classroom: Using Role Plays to Teach Social and Emotional Skills in Middle and High School answers this question by presenting the pedagogical basis for using role plays to teach social and emotional skills, creating a clear link between SEL and the need for culturally relevant teaching, and providing over 45 model lessons that can be delivered in middle and high school classrooms. A rich resource for principals seeking advisory curriculum materials, classroom teachers interested in integrating SEL into their classroom practice, and educational theater and drama teachers, Humanizing the Classroom addresses the how, why and what of teaching social and emotional skills in our diverse society.

Book excerpt: A young painter, coming of age in San Francisco’s bohemian 1950s, meets his teacher—Shunryu Suzuki, a pivotal figure in Buddhist America—and dedicates his life to continuing Suzuki Roshi’s teachings Seeing One Thing Through begins with a series of autobiographical memories and reflections going back to Sojun Mel Weitsman’s boyhood in Southern California, his coming of age as an artist and a seeker in the vibrant San Francisco of the 1950s, and his encounter with Zen in one remarkable teacher, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. From that moment, and for nearly sixty years after, Weitsman’s life took the direct path of Zen—as a student, as a teacher, and as one of the first generations of American Zen masters. The larger portion of the book is a collection of Weitsman’s edited talks, his articulation of “ordinary mind,” and his strong belief that Zen as a way of life is available to all.

Download or read book The Power Within written by Anurag Rai and published by Superhuman Education. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not written by a Monk or a Spiritual Guru. It is written by someone who has deadlines to meet, clients to attend and kids to look after. This is a book by an ENTREPRENEUR for ENTREPRENEURS and PROFESSIONALS. The world around us has changed, and going away from the material world and meditating on a mountain is simply not viable for most of us. Hence, we need a practice that is for our age and still brings the same benefits. You may ask why bother to meditate? And what’s all this buzz about? Over the past few decades, our technology has grown way faster than our consciousness. We live in a world that is connected yet so disconnected. We experience continuous stress on our bodies and mind in our advanced society. Why? Simply because our bodies and brains are not designed to live in high-rise buildings, eat food from microwaves, travel on airplanes, stare at screens all day, and other million things we do in the modern world. However, these things have become essentials of our life, and it’s impossible to take them out of our lives. It is, therefore, vital in today’s world that we use a practice such as meditation to take a break and recharge. Most of us are either working on improving our physical fitness or at least have intentions of doing so. Yet not many of us have ever given a thought about our mental fitness. We all want a chiseled figure, six-pack abs, and strong arms. But what about having a strong mind, without which everything else will become useless. There is only so much one can build with strong arms, but there is no limit to what you can build with a strong mind. Research shows that regular meditation can not only heal your mind but also make it happier, healthier, and stronger. Meditation is the fastest and the only way to upgrade your state of consciousness. If you are not meditating, you are not using your full potentials. Meditators can tap into the alpha waves of the brain to supercharge their creativity. Practicing just 10 minutes of meditation a day can improve our ability to concentrate and store information in working memory. FROM THE BACK COVER There was once a man who lost his keys. He started looking for them on the streets. A passer-by approached and asked him what he is looking for? The man replied, “His Keys.” The passer-by asked, “where did you lose it?”. He replied, “Inside the house.” We are all like this man. We are looking for the key to happiness in the wrong places. The key lies WITHIN. Meditation is a path to discover this key. WHY MEDITATING IS HARD? The primary reason why most people fail in meditation is that they are using the techniques designed for and by the monks who lived in the mountains away from the hustle present in today’s everchanging world. In the world we live in, uncertainty is the most certain thing, and life is like an emotional rollercoaster. In such situations, it would be naïve to sit down on a mat and expect the mind to stop thinking on your command. In The Power Within, Anurag Rai presents an unconventional approach to meditation. The book explains ancient techniques in a modern flair. With powerful insights and life-changing concepts, Anurag takes you on a 21 Day journey to help you form a lifelong habit. This book is full of aha moments and ground-breaking wisdom.

Download or read book The Art of Rest written by Claudia Hammond and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the British Psychological Society Book Award for Popular Science Much of value has been written about sleep, but rest is different; it is how we unwind, calm our minds and recharge our bodies. The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research Claudia Hammond collaborated on: ‘The Rest Test’, the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, completed by 18,000 people across 135 different countries. The survey revealed how people get rest and how it is directly linked to your sense of wellbeing. Counting down through the top ten activities which people find most restful, Hammond explains why rest matters, examines the science behind the results to establish what really works and offers a roadmap for a new, more restful and balanced life.

Download or read book Passions of the Mind written by Harold N. Boris and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1993-10-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As social animals, each of us can only be partly understood through insights into our individual psychodynamics. There is, within us, another principle at work: to preserve the group, even at the expense of the individual. In this innovative synthesis of classical psychoanalysis and recent interpersonal and object relations psychology, Harold N. Boris constructs a necessary bridge between individual psychodynamics and group dynamics. This bridge rests upon two, complementary foundations: the egoistically- defined pleasure principle of The Couple and the socially defined selection principle of The Pair. Unheard Melodies shows how these two states of mind often compete, each being a distinct mental state seeking its own objectives. When analyzed, both mental states reveal their own characteristic themes and feelings, presences and absences, all of which are intertwined in the unique, patterned music of psychoanalysis. To demonstrate the patterning of these mental states, Boris presents the transcription of a composite analysis, an astonishing documentation of his own clinical experience, showing The Couple and The Pair playing together in the analytic setting. These clinical transcripts, complete with commentary, provide rare glimpses into the psychoanalytic process that will interest psychoanalysts, sociologists, and casual students of the mind and society.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER From New York Times bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes Empire of the Vampire, the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga. From holy cup comes holy light; The faithful hand sets world aright. And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight, Mere man shall end this endless night. It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness. Gabriel de León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night. But even the Silver Order could not stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains. Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope: The Holy Grail.
