Nurturing the Whole Student: Five Dimensions of Teaching and
Learning begins with the assumption that education is at its
best-healthiest, most engaging, and most effective-when it is
holistic. By holistic , the authors mean that the various
dimensions of the teacher and student are honored and nurtured
throughout the education process. These dimensions are organic,
psychodynamic, cultural, academic, and existential. Nurturing the
Whole Student contends that any truly humane educational theory or
practice must celebrate and cultivate these facets of the
student-teacher relationship. In readily-accessible theoretical
terms-as well as in practical suggestions for classroom
application-the authors demonstrate how holistic education is an
antidote to the standardized approaches to education that breed
failure, alienation, and discouragement in the classroom.
Systematically broken down into five thematic chapters, this
teacher's guide will help any educator foster the five dimensions
of teaching and learning.
