Awe in Action is a collection of essays that impels the reader to
create more opportunities for prosocial and humanitarian action in
our children's school life. It is an argument for elevating the
moral and civic imperative in contemporary education. The writing
explores approaches to pupil engagement and learning that stem from
connected and purpose led approaches. It addresses the need to
bring character, virtues and aspiration into learning cultures -
particularly acute in the schools within areas of poor social
mobility. The message directly tackles the shallow gaming
approaches and lack of courage seen with some school leaders. It
argues for recognising school cultures that can respect the well
being of student and teachers, whilst striving for the highest
levels of achievement. Part one concerns the Emotional Response and
importance of Prosocial Emotions in learning- i.e. students are not
an inert recipients in their learning. Part two provide a simple
action strategy that supports the development of personal skills
such as self-regulation, behaviour for performance and student
authorship. Part three introduces the Expeditionary Learning
philosophy from an angle of a state mandated school. As it is an
Outward Bound book it is initially written with the use of Outdoor
Adventurous learning interventions in mind arguing for the
importance of Core Experiences for all. The writing moves from
positive psychology and social psychology onto sociocultural
theory. The audience is primarily the school leader who is looking
to deliver impact, who believes in the potential of their children
yet has a limited view of possibilities .
