A call to advance integrative teaching and learning in higher education.
From Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach, and Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics at Amherst College and director of the academic program of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, comes this call to revisit the roots and reclaim the vision of higher education. The Heart of Higher Education proposes an approach to teaching and learning that honors the whole human being—mind, heart, and spirit—an essential integration if we hope to address the complex issues of our time. The book offers a rich interplay of analysis, theory, and proposals for action from two educators and writers who have contributed to developing the field of integrative education over the past few decades.
- Presents Parker Palmer’s powerful response to critics of holistic learning and Arthur Zajonc’s elucidation of the relationship between science, the humanities, and the contemplative traditions
- Explores ways to take steps toward making colleges and universities places that awaken the deepest potential in students, faculty, and staff
- Offers a practical approach to fostering renewal in higher education through collegiality and conversation
The Heart of Higher Education is for all who are new to the field of holistic education, all who want to deepen their understanding of its challenges, and all who want to practice and promote this vital approach to teaching and learning on their campuses.

The acclaimed book of practical advice from students to their teachers.
Since its initial publication in hardcover in 2003, Fires in the Bathroom has been through multiple printings and received the attention of teachers across the country. Now in paperback, Kathleen Cushman’s groundbreaking book offers original insights into teaching teenagers in today’s hard-pressed urban high schools from the point of view of the students themselves. It speaks to both new and established teachers, giving them firsthand information about who their students are and what they need to succeed.
Students from across the country contributed perceptive and pragmatic answers to questions of how teachers can transcend the barriers of adolescent identity and culture to reach the diverse student body in today’s urban schools. With the fresh and often surprising perspectives of youth, they tackle tough issues such as increasing engagement and motivation, teaching difficult academic material, reaching English-language learners, and creating a classroom culture where respect and success go hand in hand.

Janet Angelillo introduces us to an entirely new way of thinking about writing about reading. She shows us how to teach students to manage all the thinking and questioning that precedes their putting pen to paper. More than that, she offers us smarter ways to have students write about their reading that can last them a lifetime. She demonstrates how students’ responses to reading can
- start in a notebook, in conversation, or in a read aloud
- lead to thinking guided by literary criticism
- reflect deeper text analysis and honest writing processes
- result in a variety of popular genres–book reviews, author profiles, commentaries, editorials, and the literary essay.
She even includes tools for teaching-day-by-day units of study, teaching points, a sample minilesson, and lots of student examples-plus chapters on yearlong planning and assessment.
Ensure that your students will be readers and writers long after they leave you. Get them enthused and empowered to use whatever they read-facts, statistics, the latest book–as fuel for writing in school and in their working lives. Read Angelillo.

Sex education, Pinoy style
Tatlong taong gulang ang panganay kong anak nang magsimulang magtanong. “Mama, saan ba ako galing? Sa tiyan mo o doon sa ibaba?” At siyempre, dahil mabilis ang takbo ng utak ko, sinagot ko sya: “Doon ka galing sa baba, kasi normal birth ka. Yung sa tiyan galing, Caesarian yun.” Medyo komplikado pero simpleng sagot, pwede na rin. Masaya naman siya sa sagot ko. read more…
