Book excerpt: The Educational Covenant is a refreshing challenge to the modern utilitarian understanding of education in our culture. It positively provokes educators and evangelizers alike to take a closer examination of what it means to educate (blurb, Mary Cohen, Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Denver)Taking Christ as its pedagogical model, The Educational Covenant explores the real mission of authentic education: to reveal the human person, to embrace a horizon greater than the human person, and ultimately to form hearts, minds, and bodies to pursue our human destiny as beings on a journey to God. The authors make a colossal contribution to the future of education, producing a thought-provoking, realistic must-read for parents, teachers, religious, and anyone entrusted with the care and education of hearts (Mr. Carl A. Anderson)The Disciples of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary introduce readers to the vision of education as teaching the art of life ....

Download or read book Silent Covenants written by Derrick Bell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education was handed down in 1954, many civil rights advocates believed that the decision, which declared public school segregation unconstitutional, would become the Holy Grail of racial justice. Fifty years later, despite its legal irrelevance and the racially separate and educationally ineffective state of public schooling for most black children, Brown is still viewed by many as the perfect precedent. Here, Derrick Bell shatters the shining image of this celebrated ruling. He notes that, despite the onerous burdens of segregation, many black schools functioned well and racial bigotry had not rendered blacks a damaged race. He maintains that, given what we now know about the pervasive nature of racism, the Court should have determined instead to rigorously enforce the "equal" component of the "separate but equal" standard. Racial policy, Bell maintains, is made through silent covenants--unspoken convergences of interest and involuntary sacrifices of rights--that ensure that policies conform to priorities set by policy-makers. Blacks and whites are the fortuitous winners or losers in these unspoken agreements. The experience with Brown, Bell urges, should teach us that meaningful progress in the quest for racial justice requires more than the assertion of harms. Strategies must recognize and utilize the interest-convergence factors that strongly influence racial policy decisions. In Silent Covenants, Bell condenses more than four decades of thought and action into a powerful and eye-opening book.
Download or read book The Arc of the Covenant written by Earl Schwartz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arc of the Covenant studies the social, cultural, and political factors that contributed to exceptional Jewish educational success in St. Paul, Minnesota in the latter half of the twentieth century. The book draws on archival sources, interviews with principal figures, and wide-ranging research on Jewish education and community dynamics to elucidate the story’s intriguing improbabilities. Why such success in a midsize, midcentury, midwestern river town with a relatively small Jewish population of limited resources? How did it happen, and how have circumstances changed in recent years? The answers are to be found at the intersection of broad historical forces and local circumstances. Though focused on a particular place and time, the implications reach far beyond St. Paul, then and now, making Arc of the Covenant a timely resource for current Jewish educational planners, along with educators in other communities dedicated to the transmission of a sacred heritage.

Download or read book Classical Me Classical Thee Squander Not Thine Education written by Rebekah Merkle and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everyone is so busy giving the classical education to the students that I'm not sure people have taken the time to actually tell them why it matters..." Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too: She was a guinea pig in one of the very first classical Christian schools in the country. Written for students by a (former) student, Classical Me, Classical Thee is lighthearted and--most importantly for you busy high-schoolers--very short. It has a simple goal: to explain why you students are doing what you do in class. (SPOILER: Grades aren't the point--you won't use your knowledge of the Iliad Book 5 every year until you die.) What you do in class is a drill -- and nobody drills for the sake of the drill. You do drills so that you can win the game. The real tragedy, though, would be if you didn't know you were doing drills... or didn't know there was a game at all. Grades aren't the point. So drill to win.

Download or read book The Last Covenant written by Lynda Pujado and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two dramatic choral readings will place a permanent imprint on the conscience of all who speak and hear them. They won't be heard as much as they will be felt. The pain and the anguish, the emptiness and hatred of that Friday long ago will fill the senses with such powerful rage that anyone in attendance will be transformed from passive bystanders to active participants in the quest for life as the glorious news of the risen Christ is known on Sunday. Both choral readings involve five voices, which may be chosen from the congregation or can be performed as a choir litany. The combination of these voices will convey the strong emotions and images of the drama of Jesus' death and resurrection. Both can be substituted for the sermon. No costumes or props are required. With an order of worship, Easter Day's reading includes congregational singing of nine hymns with the choral reading. The Last Covenant is a wonderfully effective way to involve the entire congregation in "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Lynda Pujado graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. degree in education. She studied at Moody Bible Institute and at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in a Master of Arts in Religion program. Her work has appeared in magazines and journals such as Leadership magazine, National Christian Reporter, and others.
