Tuning In - resenha crítica

Sobre o microbook

A resource from the Friends Council on Education for reflective teaching methodology is catching the attention of educators across the country. The essays in this collection demonstrate that contemplative methods can be used with any curriculum content to support development for self-understanding, empathy, emotional intelligence and social skills. Essays contributed by teachers for teachers show children, teenagers and teachers using pebbles, mandalas, literature, beanie babies, yoga, journals, homework, artwork to strengthen the core skills underlying all learning: concentration, observation, relaxation, and open, receptive awareness with a positive, curious attitude. The 144-page book is valued by leaders in the field of mindfulness meditation, including Thich Nhat Hanh, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Shinzen Young, and Mary Rose O'Reilley: "There can be no more important education for children in the 21st century than learning to be the master of one's own mind. I am delighted that the contributors to this book have come out to share how mindfulness and concentration can be a pleasure to learn, as well as to teach," Thich Nhat Hanh commented.From the Mindfulness Bell, Summer 2009:"This book of essays, gathered by OI senior Dharma teacher Richard Brady, a lifelong educator and co-founder of MiEN, the Mindfulness in Education Network, with Irene McHenry, Executive Director of the Friends Council on Education, offers methods from eighteen authors for K-12 teachers to bring mindfulness into the classroom...In a text filled with both quirky and inventive exercises using raisins, beanie babies, spinning tops, micro-fiction, gardening, chanting, yoga, singing bowls, and talking pencils, this book is worth its weight in mindfulness to teachers...Jon Kabat-Zinn calls this a lovely compilation of stories, ideas, and suggestions that reflect delight in both learning and teaching. Indeed, this book offers medicine for a wounded world."
