Higher education is currently a sector challenged worldwide by increased numbers and diversity of students, tougher demands for professional accountability, increasing calls for educational relevance, thinning resources and the exacting demands of a global education market. This book brings together key issues of theory and practice to develop an overall professional 'language' of teaching situated within communities of academic practice. This 'language' provides teachers with a conceptual 'vocabulary' and 'grammar' for understanding and improving practice, enables them to critically reflect upon their teaching in a range of key 'genres'

Book excerpt: "The available sources on Hasidic society at the turn of the twentieth century create an impression of discontented Jewish youth and panicked parents, but not inexorable crisis and decline. Though the First World War and post-war pogroms further destabilized Hasidic society, they inadvertently created opportunities for the reinvention and revitalization of traditionalist education. The challenges of the early twentieth century would prove more galvanizing than demoralizing for certain visionary, reform-minded Hasidic leaders"--

Book excerpt: From the Japanese word meaning "to create value," this book presents a fresh perspective on the question of the ultimate purpose of education. Mixing American pragmatism and the Buddhist philosophy of respect for all life, the goal of Soka education is the lifelong happiness of the learner. Rather than offering practical classroom techniques, this book speaks to the emotional heart of both the teacher and the student. With input from philosophers and activists from several cultures, it advances the conviction that the true purpose of education is to create a peaceful world and to develop the individual character of each student in order to achieve that goal. This revised edition contains four new chapters that further elaborate on how to unlock self-motivated learning and how to empower the learner to make a difference in their communities and the world.

Book excerpt: The talks collected in this volume are drawn from John S. Tanner's later years at Brigham Young University, prior to his appointment as president of BYU–Hawaii. They contain a record of how, as an administrator, he tried to keep the dream of BYU alive. More broadly, they speak to a vision of learning that has been central to Latter-day Saint doctrine and practice from the earliest days of the Church. He calls it learning in the light (see Psalm 36:9).Bruce C. Hafen observes, "Since I began teaching at BYU forty-five years ago, I have heard many talks and read many essays about BYU's spiritual and intellectual mission. I've not heard that mission described more eloquently or with more insight than in John's work. At his best, he is reminiscent of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, with whom he has much in common—intuitive confidence in gospel premises as the best foundation for sound reasoning; a high degree of awareness about cultural context; equally fluent, even native-tongued, in both the language of the scriptures and the language of liberal education; meek, bright, and empathic."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hospice doctor shares stories from his patients and their loved ones about transitioning to the next world and lessons we can learn from them. John Lerma’s bestselling book, Into the Light, inspired thousands of readers to discover not only what awaits us as we prepare to make our journey from earth to heaven, but, more importantly, how to achieve heaven on earth. Now in Learning from the Light, Dr. Lerma shares more angelic messages given to his patients and more stories from and about survivors who have experienced the loss of a loved one . . . and their visits with angels. The mystical experiences described in this revelatory work include: Messages about the future of the world Lessons on how to prepare for a peaceful and joyful transition to the next world Selfless suffering and its effect on humanity Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) Interactions with white angels and dark angels Based on the latest research on near-death and pre-death experiences, Learning from the Light will show you: How to achieve heaven on earth How to achieve self-forgiveness and self-love How to disconnect from your ego to awaken your spiritual self Religious skeptics often claim that heaven’s existence cannot be proven, because no one has ever returned to talk about it firsthand. This is the book that proves them wrong. Praise for Learning from the Light “With beautifully heartfelt sensitivity, Dr. John Lerma brings the truest accounts of life beyond death and the freedom that accompanies the dying process. No one can read this book without experiencing a smile, a tear, or embracing the possibility . . . no the reality that death is not an end but a reunion with our truest nature.” —Meg Blackburn Losey, PhD, author of the international bestseller The Children of Now “After journeying through three near-death experiences of my own, I can validate what Dr. Lerma has learned from his patients, in the process of transition. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wonders if there is life after death.” —Dannion Brinkley, author of Saved by the Light, At Peace in the Light, and Secrets of the Light

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability, globalization, the rapid growth of knowledge and the need for internationally minded citizens require a rethinking of education. Concept based inquiry learning has been offered for over a century as an alternative to traditional education centered on textbooks, invasive standardized testing and control external to the student. Yet the widespread change in teaching styles required to shift education to meet 21st century requirements has been sporadic at best. This book tells several stories. The first is a teacher’s journey to discover a different way of teaching and learning. The second is a summary of the theory used to explain and justify the change in pedagogy to the wider school community. The third are stories from student and teachers who practice inquiry learning. The result is a description of 6 essential elements for a successful inquiry learning environment. Although this research was conducted at a single school, it offers important insights for other schools who are considering change to a more constructivist, sustainable approach to education. Marcia Behrenbruch has taught at all levels of schooling from the early years to year 12. She has lived and worked in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Singapore. Most of her 15 years in school administration focused on curriculum innovation and facilitating change. She completed her doctoral studies at Melbourne Graduate School of Education and is currently a global head of professional development for an international not-for-profit educational organization.
