As parents, educators, and school leaders, we all want the best for our children.However, in prioritizing rote memory and high test scores over social, emotional, and spiritual learning, American public schools are depriving our youth of a full human experience.Thus, it is necessary to expand the notion of education to include authentic and meaningful learning while suggesting our foundations ought to rest in altruism, interdependence, and the whole-person approach.By reimagining education and its relation to the world, you will explore practical insights on how to provide the most enriching experience for our children.Equipped with 12 hands-on activities, this interactive book is designed to help you reflect on your own approach to education while providing you with tools to increase your capacity to create meaningful relationships with your kids.Drawing on perspectives from John Dewey, Carol Dweck, and Gert Biesta, you will embark on an eclectic approach to education that values the cultivation of the full human person.
