The Soul of Education: Helping Students Find Connection, Compassion and Character at School
By Rachael Kessler
ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development), April 2000
ISBN: 0871203731
The Soul of Education breaks new ground in the field of education by opening a dialogue on a subject which has been taboo in the mainstream for decades: the spiritual dimension of education.
For decades our schools have wrestled with the shocking increase of substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, youth suicide and violence. But not until the recent outbreak of schoolyard shootings did educators, social scientists, parents, police and policy makers recognize that the feelings of emptiness, meaninglessness and disconnection are for many students a root cause of these conditions. This spiritual void has previously been left out of their assessments and cure for this tragic situation.
The Soul of Education provides a framework for safely welcoming the inner life throughout the curriculum without violating the separation of church and state or the deeply held beliefs of families and educators.
