Produktbeschreibung
Like so many other American institutions, public education stands at a crossroad. It can either continue down a destructive path of conformity and standardization, or it can open up to the unique gifts that each student and teacher bring to the educative process. Pockets of Freedom champions the latter and proposes that educators, guided by their hearts' powerful intuition, create "pockets of freedom" within their teaching/learning environments to support the shift toward student-centered learning. In this book, three teachers, spanning a range from pre-school through the university level, share stories that illuminate the process of creating freedom spaces within their classrooms, supporting their goal of awakening self-guided learning in all their students. Despite teaching, for the most part within traditional public institutions, they succeeded. And now you can learn how by reading their stories. Authors and teachers Phyl Brazee, Lisa Plourde, and Sue Haynes invite readers into their classrooms to discover how they:See the unique potential in each and every student through honoring their needs, interests, and passions Observe and trust their intuition through involving their hearts as well as their heads in moment-to-moment decision-making Evaluate their students through honorin¿g their learning process and how they make meaning in their lives Share power in authentic ways through promoting risk-taking, choice-making, and collaboration By creating pockets of freedom within whatever teaching and learning settings educators find themselves, they can exercise the powerful potential to transform education in service of authentic teaching and learning.
