Book The Whole Language

Download or read book The Whole Language written by Gregory Boyle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved Jesuit priest and author of the inspirational bestsellers Tattoos on the Heart and Barking to the Choir returns with a call to witness the transformative power of tenderness, rooted in his lifetime of experience counseling gang members in Los Angeles. Over the past thirty years, Gregory Boyle has transformed thousands of lives through his work as the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang-intervention program in the world. Now, following his acclaimed bestsellers Tattoos on the Heart, “destined to become a classic of both urban reportage and contemporary spirituality” (Los Angeles Times), and Barking to the Choir, deemed “a beautiful and important and soul-transporting book” by Elizabeth Gilbert comes The Whole Language, a book that “filled my cup with hope” (The Jesuit Review). In a community struggling to overcome systemic poverty and violence, The Whole Language shows how those at Homeboy Industries fight despair and remain generous, hopeful, and tender. When Saul was thirteen years old, he killed his abusive stepfather in self-defense; after spending twenty-three years in juvenile and adult jail, he enters the Homeboy Industries training and healing programs and embraces their mission. Declaring, “I’ve decided to grow up to be somebody I always needed as a child,” Saul shows tenderness toward the young men in his former shoes, treating them all like his sons and helping them to find their way. Before coming to Homeboy Industries, a young man named Abel was shot thirty-three times, landing him in a coma for six months followed by a year and a half recuperating in the hospital. He now travels on speaking tours with Boyle and gives guided tours around the Homeboy offices. One day a new trainee joins Abel as a shadow, and Abel recognizes him as the young man who had put him in a coma. “You give good tours,” the trainee tells Abel. They both have embarked on a path to wholeness. Boyle’s moving stories challenge our ideas about God and about people, providing a window into a world filled with fellowship, compassion, and fewer barriers. Bursting with encouragement, humor, and hope, The Whole Language invites us to treat others—and ourselves—with acceptance and tenderness.

Book Summary of Gregory Boyle s The Whole Language

Download or read book Summary of Gregory Boyle s The Whole Language written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-03-23T22:59:00Z with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The notion of God we hold is what steers the ship. Our idea of God will always call the shots. We have this image of Jesus spending 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, but I suspect it was mostly God saying tenderly, You’re here! and Jesus not really knowing what to say in response. #2 The God who never stops loving us is the same God who will not drop us. We must break the jar and transform our conception of God, so that it becomes fluid and evolving. #3 God is always loving, compassionate, and kind. Our notion of God can atrophy and get stuck in our own arrested development. It can be hard to shake the transactional god who puts us in debt. #4 The God we have is never embarrassed by us. It is always hard for us to believe in the nonjudgmental, loving, and merciful God, but that is the God we actually have.

  • Release : 2006-09-01
  • ISBN : 9867080890
  • Pages : 380 pages

Download or read book written by 李利德 and published by 秀威出版. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 有鑒於過往國內英語文教學的僵化及過於注重支離破碎的語言分析,此書以全語文(Whole Language)的理論為基礎,加上羅傑斯(Carl Rogers)以人為中心的教育理念,以及弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)的解放型教育(Education of Liberation),以期提供成人學習英語文讀寫的另一種嚐試。全語文強調語言的整體性及語言學習的不可分割性。認為語言學習的最佳狀態是聽、說、讀、寫同時並行,且完整的故事內容優於片段的單句練習。此外,全語文強調有意義的學習必須是學習內容與學生的背景、生活、興趣密切相關。同樣地,羅傑斯的人本主義教育觀,認為學習者是一切學習的中心,教學者應尊重學習者,視學習者為獨特的個體並充滿潛在的能力。弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)的解放型教育(Education of Liberation)也認為學習者有潛在的能力,尤其是成人學生。成人學生有豐富的人生經驗及專業背景,這些資源應被尊重。因此,學生可以是老師的老師,老師也可以是學生的學生。弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)主張學習應是一種持續對談的關係,學習者透過與自身、環境、社會的持續對談,思考、批判、並應用所學。基於上述的理論,不難認定英文寫作是學習者內在思想的呈現,而非單單字句組合的練習。寫作者必須對他想呈現的思想內容有興趣或有意見,才有可能竭盡所能搜尋恰當的字眼,以表達他的想法。因此,英文寫作課程是否也能提供這樣的學習彈性和空間,讓學習者選擇自己關注的議題,進行閱讀、討論、寫作分享,並在這過程中提升英文寫作的能力,就成為本書所關注的主要議題。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】

Book What s Whole in Whole Language in the 21st Century

Download or read book What s Whole in Whole Language in the 21st Century written by Ken Goodman and published by Language and Social Policy. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's Whole in Whole Language in the 21st Century? includes a new introduction by Ken Goodman, commentary by Michael Rosen, and excerpts from a series of never published interviews conducted in 1992-1993 by Denny Taylor of renowned reading scholars who knew Ken and Yetta Goodman, and who spoke freely about their lives together as well as their research and teaching. The insights of these scholars, who include Frank Smith and Jeanne Chall, are profound. They shift the political discourse of reading research and teaching young children to read. Ousting the propaganda, they shed light on what really happened to progressive educators and whole language teachers at the end of the 20th century. The original version of Goodman's best-selling book sold two hundred and fifty thousand copies, became a worldwide phenomenon, and was translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese. It became the handbook for the revolution for equality and justice for all children that occurred in classrooms around the world. Teachers were inspired to put aside commercial materials that were based on very limited understandings of reading and writing, and instead placed children and their very natural curiosity about language and learning at the center of classroom activity. In the 1990's, the agenda for public education shifted away from developmentally appropriate teaching and learning and prominently featured the goals of curriculum standardization, test-based accountability, and a reward-and-punish policy toward school performance. Although conservative ideology and the thirst for profit were factors at play, the real motive was to ensure that U.S. corporations would remain competitive in the 21st century global market. They would achieve this by turning schools into "workforce development systems" that would produce future workers with very narrowly defined literacy proficiencies and a predilection for passivity and compliance. This is the experience of most public school children today, whose lives and academic development are so negatively impacted by the Common Core. There has never been a more critical time for teachers to read What's Whole in Whole Language in the 21st Century? It is as prescient today as it was when Goodman first wrote it.

  • Pages : 218 pages

Download or read book The Leader in Me written by Stephen R. Covey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
