Download or read book The Human Touch in Education Leadership written by Robert Palestini and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2003-01-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palestini advances a new theory of educational leadership seen through the dual lens of critical theory and the Ignatian vision and its practical implications. A truly novel approach, the author strives to acquaint administrators and students of educational administration with a different way of thinking about education and its administration. Possessing the knowledge and skills of leadership is only half the story, one must also develop a value system or philosophy that guides the leader's actions and provides the leader with the 'human touch.' To advance his theory, the author includes chapters that outline the Ignatian vision of leadership, discuss the critical approach to leadership and the integration of theory and practice, explore an organizational change process, and assess the effective implementation of positivism, the critical theory, and the Ignatian vision. The final chapter contains a practical application of this approach to a case study involving the very controversial topic of education tuition vouchers.
Download or read book AI Not the Human Touch written by KHRITISH SWARGIARY and published by GOOGLE. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "AI: Not the Human Touch". This book explores the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and education, focusing on how AI can enhance educational practices while acknowledging the enduring importance of human educators. In recent years, AI has become a transformative force in various sectors, including education. It promises to revolutionize classrooms by offering personalized learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and providing valuable insights into student performance. However, amidst these advancements, there arises a critical question: can AI truly replace the irreplaceable— the human touch in education? The purpose of this book is not to pit AI against human educators but to delve into the complementary roles they can play. AI has undeniable strengths in processing data, delivering personalized content, and facilitating efficient administrative tasks. Yet, it lacks the emotional intelligence, empathy, and moral guidance that human teachers naturally provide. Teachers are not just instructors but mentors, motivators, and role models who nurture students' intellectual and emotional growth. Through insightful chapters, we explore AI's capabilities and limitations in education. From enhancing administrative efficiency to fostering collaborative learning environments, AI offers tremendous potential. Concurrently, we examine the essential roles of human educators—interpreting student needs, building connections, and imparting values—that cannot be replicated by technology alone.

Download or read book Refocusing School Leadership written by Robert J. Starratt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refocusing School Leadership departs from the more traditional conceptualization of leadership, looking behind the daily routines of human resource leaders to highlight the assumptions and values and beliefs they bring to their work as well as the values and meanings embedded in the various contexts of school life. Starratt explores how educational leadership is grounded in one’s own humanity as well as in a deep appreciation of the richness, complexity, and enormous potential of people, and he attempts to restore the centrality of human development in the work of educating the young—education is not simply about educating minds, but about developing whole persons. Starratt argues for a refocusing of educational leadership on affirming and enabling those talents, dispositions, interests, life experiences, and cultural proficiencies that comprise their humanity to enrich the work of learning. The vision of the school should speak of the extraordinary possibilities for human achievement in our young people, as well as the talents of their teachers to nurture those possibilities. Starratt’s focus on leadership as human resource development will energize the efforts of faculty, staff, and students to improve the quality of learning—the primary work of schools. This book is a valuable resource to prepare aspiring leaders, whether administrators or teachers, to deal with the way schools are currently run and to imagine and create better ways to promote quality learning for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers at all levels of education will find this book practical and inspiring as they read how other educators have engaged with challenges that reveal different dimensions of gratitude, and how some have discovered its relevance in gaining greater resilience, improved relationships and increased student engagement. In the first comprehensive text ever written that is solely dedicated to the specific relevance of gratitude to the teaching and learning process, Dr Howells pioneers an approach that accounts for both dilemmas and possibilities of gratitude in the midst of teachers’ busy and stressful lives. She takes a contemporary and philosophical view of the notion of gratitude and goes beyond its conceptualisation simply from a religious or positive psychology framework. Exploring real situations with teachers, school leaders, students, parents, academics and pre-service teachers - Gratitude In Education: A Radical View examines many of the complexities encountered when gratitude is applied in a variety of secular educational environments.
