Happy Teachers Change the World by Thich Nhat Hanh,Katherine Weare Pdf

Happy Teachers Change the World is the first official, authoritative manual of the Thich Nhat Hanh/Plum Village approach to mindfulness in education. Spanning the whole range of schools and grade levels, from preschool through higher education, these techniques are grounded in the everyday world of schools, colleges, and universities. Beginning firmly with teachers and all those working with students, including administrators, counselors, and other personnel, the Plum Village approach stresses that educators must first establish their own mindfulness practice since everything they do in the classroom will be based on that foundation. The book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step techniques perfected by educators to teach themselves and to apply to their work with students and colleagues, along with inspirational stories of the ways in which teachers have made mindfulness practice alive and relevant for themselves and their students across the school and out into the community. The instructions in Happy Teachers Change the World are offered as basic practices taught by Thich Nhat Hanh, followed by guidance from educators using these practices in their classrooms, with ample in-class interpretations, activities, tips, and instructions. Woven throughout are stories from members of the Plum Village community around the world who are applying these teachings in their own lives and educational contexts.

The Happy Teacher and Happy Students by Joshua I. Smith,Caroline Brewer Pdf

The Happy Teacher and Happy Students manual helps bring out the joys of teaching and learning and pathways to helping children thrive. The Happy Teacher and Happy Students will inspire classroom revolutions, where: The boy who never smiled would start smiling And the girl who never wrote would start writing And the boy who never read would start reading And the boy who always cursed would stop cursing And the girl who always fought would stop fighting And the boy who talked too much would stop talking - too much And the girl who used to hide would stop hiding And the boy who used to lie would stop lying And the girl who hated words would start liking them (and loving you) And the girl who used to always say no would start saying yes And the boy who couldn't write a complete sentence would write complete sentences And the children who could write but refused would one day write a book And the boy who wasn't in your class would come to your class because of the *buzz *about your class And the boy who barely knew the alphabet would learn to read well enough to ace tests And the girl who was always angry would become mostly happy And the boy who was depressed would start (moon) walking on sunshine And the girl who was always mad would make peace with her world And the boy who didn't believe in himself would express faith in himself And the girl who was always feisty would show her vulnerable side (and thank you) And the boy who didn't like to read would love listening to himself - read And the girl who was always scared would no longer be afraid And the boy who was at the bottom academically would rise to the top And the girl who never engaged would one day rise from her chair and dance (to the music only she could hear -- and all of her peers would clap for her) And all of these marvelous things with children would happen because you had the courage to say yes when everyone else was saying no, to express faith when everyone else had stopped believing, to think about what could be when everyone else was thinking about what had been, and because you have watched from afar the start of many revolutions and now you know you can't rest...until you start your own.

We're Doing It Wrong by David Michael Slater Pdf

An unapologetic critique of major flaws in the American education system. David Michael Slater’s We’re Doing It Wrong is a thought-provoking dissection of the issues plaguing American public schools. Each chapter identifies a major problem in the education system, exploring its roots and repercussions. A teacher himself, Slater opens up and gives readers an insider’s perspective on topics that have been at the center of ongoing debates as well as recent hot button issues, such as: Standardized testing Teacher evaluation practices Helicopter parents Class size Poverty’s effect on performance Anti-bullying programs Writing proficiency Curriculum goals Slater explains why our current approaches simply aren’t working—for students, for teachers, for the colleges that these students may eventually attend, and for society at-large. Unafraid to ruffle a few feathers, We’re Doing It Wrong highlights defects in policy and theory, calls out administration, and questions long-held beliefs. Every chapter concludes with a suggestion for improvement, offering light at the end of the tunnel. Administrators, teachers, and concerned parents will come away with a better understanding of the current state of education and ideas for moving toward progress—for themselves and for the students they support.

A Happy Classroom by Lois Allan Dommersnes Pdf

Just imagine millions of students, young and old, all over the world, sitting still and listening. Are they happy? I think not. It has been observed by educators and confirmed by non-verbal/mathematical evaluations that there is a measurable discrepancy between the potential and the actual performance of many students. Conclusion reached is that the way we educate our students in educational establishments, does not produce successful or happy people. The purpose of this book is to identify and describe the raw material we have, the students and their environment, the tools we have, books, computers and the product we hope to produce creative and productive students. To achieve this we need to design activities that will allow the students to be involved with each other and independent of each other. We must also take into account special gifts, varied abilities, and handicaps. Activities which do not address the above conditions such as text books exercises, rote learning, and various busy work tasks are killers of all the attributes we love in our students - spontaneity, creativity, enthusiasm, curiosity, and humour. During my last few years teaching K-12 I came up with activities that were mostly student generated. They presented their work to the class and we graded it together. I have spent much time on classroom management for without organization, routine and order chaos reigns. Equal understanding by both, students and teachers, of the benefits of the well-run classroom will add much to the learning environment. I also have taken some time in coming up with grading strategies. As we spend much time on testing and grading we need first of all to free the teachers from this tedium, and then examine whether the benefits to the students warrant so much time spent on the testing process. Perhaps my most rewarding task was the organization and design of a grading rubric. We had so much fun. Most importantly the teacher with a hundred and fifty student reports ha
