Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Art of Humane Education, Donald Phillip Verene presents a new statement of the classical and humanist ideals that he believes should guide education in the liberal arts and sciences. These ideals are lost, he contends, in the corporate atmosphere of the contemporary university, with its emphasis on administration, faculty careerism, and student performance. Verene addresses questions of how and what to teach and offers practical suggestions for the conduct of class sessions, the relationship between teacher and student, the interpretation of texts, and the meaning and use of a canon of great books.In sharp contrast to the current tendency toward specialization, Verene considers the aim of college education to be self-knowledge pursued through study of all fields of thought. Education, in his view, must be based on acquisition of the arts of reading, writing, and thinking. He regards the class lecture as a form of oratory that should be presented in accordance with the well-known principles of rhetoric. The Art of Humane Education, styled as a series of letters, makes the author's original and practical ideas very clear. In this elegant book, Verene explores the full range of issues surrounding humane education.On the humanities: "Despite Descartes, the study of humane letters has remained, but it is always in danger of passing out of the curriculum. It remains a beggar who will not quite leave the premises."On teaching: "Like oratory, teaching requires a natural gift, but it is also an art which, like all the other humane arts, can be learned only mimetically.... As some are born tone-deaf and cannot be musical, there are those who can never teach. But most if they wish have some aptitude for it, and this aptitude can be developed into an art."On teachers: "Teachers motivated by eloquence attempt to speak wholly on a subject, since the whole is where its life is. Teachers not motivated by eloquence tend to be either dull or comedic. The dull teacher may have knowledge but have no true language for it.... The comedic teacher is shallow and a menace to the subject matter."On administrators: "Administration is never content simply to concern itself with the pure business of the university, paying its bills, maintaining its buildings. It sees itself as necessary in order for the process between teacher and student to go on. But it is a process that it constantly interrupts.... Administrators, however, should not be taken too seriously."Although sharply critical of many aspects of the modern university and of many currents within the humanities, The Art of Humane Education remains at heart a ringing endorsement of the high humanist tradition and its continuing relevance to the institutions of teaching and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why teach music? Who deserves a music education? Can making and learning about music serve the common good? A collection of essays considers the answers. In Humane Music Education for the Common Good, scholars and educators from around the world offer unique responses to the recent UNESCO report titled Rethinking Education: Toward the Common Good. This report suggests how, through purpose, policy, and pedagogy, education can and must respond to the challenges of our day in ways that respect and nurture all members of the human family. The contributors use this report as a framework to explore the implications and complexities that it raises. The book begins with analytical reflections on the report and then explores pedagogical case studies and practical models of music education that address social justice, inclusion, individual nurturance, and active involvement in the greater public welfare. The collection concludes by looking to the future, asking what more should be considered, and exploring how these ideals can be even more fully realized. This volume boldly expands the boundaries of the UNESCO report to reveal new ways to think about, be invested in, and use music education as a center for social change both today and going forward.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Moral and Humane Education: June to September Inclusive Essay receiving William G. Sprague Memorial Prize from the American Humane Association, in 1908. Huxley says the ego is the center of the universe. This psychological assumption explains much in the problematical study of the history of man. Man begins life on a very simple basis as to his social environment. As an infant, not even his mother is at first recognized as a social factor in the self-absorbing processes of a tentative hold on life; but, as his nature unfolds, the extreme egoism of his early infancy gradually expands along radiating lines in all directions until we find the circumference bounding, in gradations, mother, family, home life, playmates, neighborhood, school life, municipality, his country, the world, the universe, until, in the highest form of human development, his egoism has expanded into an altruism broad in scope and elevated in character. Thinkers recognize that the individual man is an epitomized form of the race of man, - the stages of growth through infancy, youth, and maturity corresponding to the stages that racial man passes through from the primitive man of savagery to the highest type of civilization and progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Humane Movement: A Descriptive Survey Prepared on the Henry Bergh Foundation for the Promotion of Humane Education in Columbia University In 1908, I was directed by the President of Columbia University, to prepare a report on and bibliography of the subject of humane education and the prevention of cruelty to animals and children. In determining the scope of this report I have sought to bring it within manageable proportions by confining it to those phases of humane activity that have received the least descriptive treatment. Child-caring and child-help ing agencies have been described at length by many writers, and at the present time the Russell Sage Founds tion is pushing exhaustive inquiries in this field. I have therefore confined this aspect of my report to a brief summary of the varying viewpoints that characterize the work of moieties for the prevention of cruelty to children, and to a concise tabulation of laws for the protection of children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroscience tells us that the products of the mind--thought, emotions, artistic creation--are the result of the interactions of the biological brain with our senses and the physical world: in short, that thinking and learning are the products of a biological process.This realization, that learning actually alters the brain by changing the number and strength of synapses, offers a powerful foundation for rethinking teaching practice and one's philosophy of teaching.James Zull invites teachers in higher education or any other setting to accompany him in his exploration of what scientists can tell us about the brain and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. He describes the brain in clear non-technical language and an engaging conversational tone, highlighting its functions and parts and how they interact, and always relating them to the real world of the classroom and his own evolution as a teacher. "The Art of Changing the Brain" is grounded in the practicalities and challenges of creating effective opportunities for deep and lasting learning, and of dealing with students as unique learners.
