The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Palmer, Parker J., PUBLISHER: Jossey-Bass, "This book is for teachers who have good days ong>anong>d bad -- ong>anong>d whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts, because they love learners, learning, ong>anong>d the teaching life." -- Parker J. Palmer from the Introduction] For mong>anong>y years, Parker Palmer has worked on behalf of teachers ong>anong>d others who choose their vocations for reasons of the heart but may lose heart because of the troubled, sometimes toxic systems in which they work. Hundreds of thousong>anong>ds of readers have benefited from his approach in THE COURAGE TO TEACH, which ong>takesong> teachers on ong>anong> inner journey toward reconnecting with themselves, their students, their colleagues, ong>anong>d their vocations, ong>anong>d reclaiming their passion for one of the most challenging ong>anong>d importong>anong>t of humong>anong> endeavors. This book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cong>anong>not be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity ong>anong>d integrity of the teacher. Good teaching ong>takesong> myriad forms but good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in ong>communityong> with their students ong>anong>d their subject. They possess "a capacity for connectedness" ong>anong>d are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, ong>anong>d their students, helping their students weave a world for themselves. The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts -- the place where intellect, emotion, spirit, ong>anong>d will converge in the humong>anong> self -- supported by the ong>communityong> that emerges among us when we choose to live authentic lives. BONUS: Includes ong>anong> audio CD featuring a 45-minute conversation between Parker Palmer ong>anong>d his colleagues, Marcy Jackson ong>anong>d Estrus Tucker from the Center for Courage & Renewal. They reflect on what they have learned from working with thousong>anong>ds of teachers in their "Courage to Teach" program (www.CourageRenewal.org)ong>anong>d with others who yearn for greater integrity in their professional lives.

The edge of darkness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood.In Tibet, geologist David R.
