A shocking statistic in education reveals that 70% of K-12 teachers
work under chronic stress. This revolutionary new book explains how
removing stress from the classroom holds the key to improving
education. The book also explains what administrators, teachers,
parents, and communities can do to help accomplish a stress-free
classroom. For years, the expert voices said "disengagement" was
the crucial issue behind poor educational environments and results.
Naturally, only massive reform could fix it. But what if the
enormous restructuring and expenditures attacked the wrong problem?
MindShift, an organization that reframes tired and clogged
conversations, pushed the old conclusions off the table and started
fresh. They gathered diverse leaders in education, leadership,
neuroscience, architecture, and wellness in working forums around
the nation. These pivotal meetings produced WHOLE, a game-changing
approach to education. This book captures the story and details of
how the system can be remade for real and lasting benefits to
everyone. With the authors' expertise, the book exposes the
exhausted and antiquated thinking that led to the present crisis.
But, WHOLE also proposes a new era of disruptive change that can
produce happier, healthier, and more successful education for the
21st century. The book introduces the outliers, tells the stories,
and presents the roadmaps to: Why teachers should be seen as
high-performance athletes, requiring time for recovery and
preparation How schools can become "field hospitals," combining
learning with healing Why space matters, how redesigning and
refurnishing schools can eliminate stress and produce learning
environments that are more open and inviting Ways to properly
integrate schools within communities, building honest
relationships, increasing social capital, and achieving
transparency that increases success Packed with real-life examples,
new research, and solutions that you can introduce to your own
schools, students, and communities, WHOLE shows us how to move
schools from the age of stress and insecurity to an age of true
educational flourishing.
