In a time of unprecedented changes globally, Flourishing in the
Holistic Classroom offers an educational model that is dynamic,
organic, and adaptive. The book offers key principles,
dispositions, and practices that holistic educators draw from to
create learning environments in which their students can flourish.
This book describes learning that is based on a balance of inner
and outer ways of knowing, with an emphasis on the inner life or
soul of the learner. This is illustrated through accounts of
running an arts camp using the inquiry process and experiences with
teacher candidates. A key principle of holistic education is
connection, which is explored through experiential examples such as
connections between learners and each other, the teacher, and their
subject of study. The role that mindfulness practice and teacher
presence plays in the classroom, as well as working with fear and
vulnerability are addressed through detailed narratives. The
breadth of the author's experience including being an early years
teacher, a director of programs and exhibits in a children's
museum, and working with pre-service teachers is woven throughout
the book. Reflections from former teacher candidates highlight the
influence that holistic pedagogy has on learners. The book
concludes with an invitation to the reader to embrace a holistic,
integrative approach to education, which creates fertile ground for
student flourishing. Flourishing in the Holistic Classroom is
intended to support teachers, administrators, academics,
pre-service teachers and graduate students.
