Download or read book Holistic Education and Embodied Learning written by John P. Miller and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning often begins with an experience in the body. Our body can tighten or feel expansive depending on different learning contexts. This experience of learning in the body is crucial to holistic education. This book explores embodied learning from several perspectives. This first section explores how psychology can inform us about embodied learning; for example, the work of Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich devoted much of their thinking to how energy manifests itself in the body. Meditation and movement are also examined as ways of embodied learning; for example, Dalcroze, a form of movement education, is presented within the context of whole person education. The book also presents schools where embodied learning is nurtured. Waldorf education is discussed as well as a public school in Toronto where the body is central to holistic education. The book also presents visions of embodied learning. John Miller presents a holistic vision of teacher education and Tobin Hart, who has written extensively in this field, writes about the embodied mind. Embodied learning is an emerging area of inquiry in holistic education and this book presents a variety of perspectives and practices that should be helpful to both scholars and practitioners.

Download or read book A Fight for the Soul of Public Education written by Steven Ashby and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In reaction to the changes imposed on public schools across the country in the name of "education reform," the Chicago Teachers Union redefined its traditional role and waged a multidimensional fight that produced a community-wide school strike and transformed the scope of collective bargaining into arenas that few labor relations experts thought possible. Using interviews, first-person accounts, participant observation, union documents, and media reports, Steven K. Ashby and Robert Bruno tell the story of the 2012 strike that shut down the Chicago school system for seven days.A Fight for the Soul of Public Education takes into account two overlapping, parallel, and equally important stories. One is a grassroots story of worker activism told from the perspective of rank-and-file union members and their community supporters. Ashby and Bruno provide a detailed account of how the strike became an international cause when other teachers unions had largely surrendered to corporate-driven education reform. The second story describes the role of state and national politics in imposing educational governance changes on public schools and draconian limitations on union bargaining rights. It includes a detailed account of the actual bargaining process revealing the mundane and the transcendental strategies of both school board and union representatives.

Book excerpt: Rav Berg shows how the idea of reincarnation was for centuries either suppressed or ignored by religious and secular authorities.

This is the rediscovery of a principle that explains the reality readers experience every day, and gives them the tools to transform both it and themselves. Berg guides readers to questions that have compelled humankind for centuries: What is the purpose of life? How does one find the soul mate necessary to fulfil that purpose? How can todays events illuminate past lifetimes? What is the true meaning of fate, and how can the individual control fate through free will? Drawing on the worlds oldest body of spiritual wisdom, this book not only educates readers, but also allows them to see the world from the perspective of eternity, inspiring them to radically change their present lives for the better.
Download or read book The Lost Soul of Higher Education written by Ellen Schrecker and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The professor and historian delivers a major critique of how political and financial attacks on the academy are undermining our system of higher education. Making a provocative foray into the public debates over higher education, acclaimed historian Ellen Schrecker argues that the American university is under attack from two fronts. On the one hand, outside pressure groups have staged massive challenges to academic freedom, beginning in the 1960s with attacks on faculty who opposed the Vietnam War, and resurfacing more recently with well-funded campaigns against Middle Eastern Studies scholars. Connecting these dots, Schrecker reveals a distinct pattern of efforts to undermine the legitimacy of any scholarly study that threatens the status quo. At the same time, Schrecker deftly chronicles the erosion of university budgets and the encroachment of private-sector influence into academic life. From the dwindling numbers of full-time faculty to the collapse of library budgets, The Lost Soul of Higher Education depicts a system increasingly beholden to corporate America and starved of the resources it needs to educate the new generation of citizens. A sharp riposte to the conservative critics of the academy by the leading historian of the McCarthy-era witch hunts, The Lost Soul of Higher Education, reveals a system in peril—and defends the vital role of higher education in our democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School of Soul Winners and Soul Winning contains the following books of Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum: You Can Lead Someone to the Lord Today 36 Reasons for Winning the Lost The Power of the Holy Spirit in the Winning of the Lost Soul Winning Volume 1 Soul Winning Volume 2 Salvation and Soul Winning The Winning of the Lost as Life’s Supreme Task Soul Winning and Disciple-making Victorious Soul Winning Once a person gets saved through repentance unto God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, he is qualified to go straight to heaven. Once he comes to a loving, saving and abiding knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is ready to march, with the saints, straight into heaven. The only reason why a saved, sanctified and perfected person is left here on earth after salvation is that he may be a soul winner. We are to daily and desperately win souls as if we won’t have another day again on earth. And you can lead someone to the Lord anytime, anywhere using an array of methods such as sharing your faith, witnessing to Christ, preaching the Gospel, and evangelising publicly or privately. The terrific reasons for winning the lost, and the terrible consequences of not doing so, should push every believer out where the sinners are. If sinners die in their sins without hearing the Gospel, the believer is to blame for it. Their blood is upon him. The only way to free yourself from the blood of all men is through the preaching of the Gospel (Acts 20:26). However, no one can win souls in his own strength. There is need to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit for the winning of the lost. Then the resulting fruit will be lasting and lustrous. This volume presents several rapturous reasons for and benefits to be reaped from obeying the command to soul winning. It is not enough to win souls to Christ and leave them like that. It would be like catching fish from the lake, admiring it, celebrating the catch and then throwing it back into the lake to swim away. Leading a soul to Christ is only the beginning of a process. That process must continue with making a disciple of Christ out of that soul you have won to Christ. It ends when that disciple becomes mature and complete in Christ Jesus, not lacking any good thing. This volume introduces you to the School of Soul Winners and Soul Winning and carries you through various bends and bounds in the art and practice of soul winning. We send this first volume on soul winners and soul winning out with a cry to the Lord that, He should use it to transform every believer into a soul winner daily and deeply involved in soul winning.

Book excerpt: Echoes from a Child’s Soul: Awakening the Moral Imagination of Children presents remarkable poetry inspired by aesthetic education methodology created by children that were labelled academically, socially, and/or emotionally at-risk. Many children deemed average or below-grade level composed poetry beyond their years revealing moral imagination. Art psychology and aesthetic methodology merge to portray the power of awakening children’s voices once silenced. The children’s poetry heralds critical and empathic messages for our future. This book proposes an overwhelming need for change in America’s public-school education system so that no child is ignored, silenced, deemed less than, or marginalized.
