TEACHER AS HEALER: How to Create a School Culture of Wholeness, Wellness, and Peaceful Living

TEACHER AS HEALER: How to Create a School Culture of Wholeness, Wellness and Peaceful Living is a must-read and inspiring book for K-12 teachers, principals, administrators, teacher-trainers, homeschoolers & yes, parents.\\nTEACHER AS HEALER reveals many teaching and learning strategies regarding how to elicit the health & well-being of our students on every level: physically, emotionally (heart-centered), socially (developing conflict resolution skills), mentally (through positivity) & spiritually, & how these levels are all interconnected. To accomplish this, I focus on a ‘living model’ which includes an integrated, whole-person curriculum & educational framework (our ‘GPS’) that reveals how to build a loving classroom/school, & help our students to develop positive, loving relations with all.\\nSeveral teaching & learning strategies are also provided that encourage ethical & upstanding behavior, & focus on spiritual values for living in harmony with self, others, our family, community & society, & with a Higher Power, our Creator, who guides & sustains all our lives. They instill in our students an appreciation of all cultures globally, & ecological awareness that leads to knowing ourselves to be a part of our Cosmos & Home Planet, Earth. Some values emphasized are love with unconditional positive regard, empathy, compassion, kindness, respect, patience, honesty, inner calm & a sense of responsibility, unity & connectedness with all.\\nTEACHER AS HEALER is also an essential teaching & learning resource, with Worksheets & a practical curriculum guide for teacher-trainers. This book offers beneficial programs, ‘therapeutic’ tools, charts, pictures & many helpful teaching & learning strategies for children to joyfully learn best, & for teachers to heartfully teach best.\\nI hope this book inspires you, that you gain a great deal from its many ‘gems’ & put them to good use for the highest benefit of ourselves & our students, children & world. Let’s do our part to help create a loving & peaceful world. There is far too much bullying, anger, hostility, violence, hatred, & even suicide & killing that prevail in our schools, homes & globally. So yes, it’s best to start when our kids are young. Nevertheless, this is a mission for everyone.\\n***
