Finishing a course and a textbook has come to mean achievement. Listening to a lecture has come to mean understanding. Getting a high score on a standardized test has come to mean proficiency. Credentialing has come to mean competence. To educate our children wisely requires that we create generative learning communities, by design. Such learning communities have their roots in meaning, not memory; engagement, not transmission; inquiry, not compliance; exploration, not acquisition; personalization, not uniformity; interdependence, not individualism; collaboration, not competition; and trust, not fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"…this is a wonderful book to help guide your story as a person, a leader, a critical member of an interdependent system and to reconnect yourself with the reasons why you became an educator in the first place.\" (\u003ci\u003eTC Record\u003c\/i\u003e, December 2006)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: The Call for a Radical New Story of Learning and Schooling xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGratitudes xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrologue: Songlines xxv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: The Journey Toward Wholeness 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1 Firestorm or Gift? 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Power of Story\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 2 What Living Systems Teach Us 19\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 3 Nurturing Integral Habits of Mind 37\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 4 A New Learning Landscape 67\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aspen Grove by Design\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: Designing the New Learning Landscape 77\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 5 Integrity 79\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Naming and Owning Our Integral Learning Identity\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 6 Vibrancy 97\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Generating and Using Abundant Learning Information\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 7 Interdependence 107\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inviting and Sustaining Collaborative\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearning Relationships\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 8 Coherence 117\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stimulating Creative and Self-Organizing\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Learning Processes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 9 Sustainability 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWeaving and Mapping Networked Learning Patterns\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 10 Stability 143\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Creating Flexible, Temporary, and Adaptive Learning Structures\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 11 A Generative Community for Integral Learning\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aspen Grove Revisited 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three: A Call for Leaders 183\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 The Right Moment 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswering the Call\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Elder-Leadership 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanging the Current Story\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Creating the Radical New Story of\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearning and Schooling 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword: A Letter to My Grandchildren 211\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmerican Psychological Association Principles for Learner-Centered Education 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHoward Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences” 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Two Stories of Learning and Schooling Contrasted 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 235\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405049405783,"sku":"9780787975012","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780787975012.jpg?v=1730488500","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-power-to-transform-9780787975012","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
