Education's Highest Aim: Teaching and Learning Through a Spirituality of Communion de Michael James

Education's Highest Aim: Teaching and Learning Through a Spirituality of Communion

Autor Michael James, Amy Uelmen, Thomas M. Masters
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2010
Since "A Nation at Risk" in 1983, the "problem" of education in the United States has occupied a prominent space in the media, in the halls of government, and in the lives of those most involved in schools. After twenty-five years of inquiry, experimentation, debate and legislation such as No Child Left Behind, the problems seem as insoluble now as then. Education's Highest Aim presents the thoughts and experiences of researchers, students, teachers, administrators, parents, and other stakeholders who have applied a theoretical and practical framework derived from Chiara Lubich's spirituality of communion to their various scenes of teaching and learning. Education's Highest Aim offers proven and effective ways of dealing with the problematic realities found in primary, elementary, secondary, and university education.
