Synopsis
Today, with so much knowledge available at our fingertips what is the true function of the educator? How is it different from the teacher's task of transferring knowledge?
The Art of Education seeks to focus the educator on creating a lasting impression on students by opening their spirits to their own higher realms of consciousness and then helping them integrate newly found energy, will, and insights into everyday life. By analyzing the Hebrew word for education (chinuch) and its counterpart guidance (hadrachah), Rabbi Ginsburgh leads the reader through a kaleidoscopic journey into depth within depth of the psyche and the soul and their function and growth through our relationships with those who educate us.
Based on the depth of understanding found in the classic teachings and stories of Hassidut, The Art of Education is sure to change your approach to education, whether you are a parent, a teacher or work with adults.
Synopsis
With so much information readily available today, the educators role must go beyond simply transferring knowledge to students. Drawing from the deep wisdom found in the classic teachings and stories of Kabbalah and Chassidut, The Art of Education focuses the educator on creating a lasting impression on students by opening their spirits to their own higher realms of consciousness and by helping them integrate newly found energy, will, and insights into everyday life.
The Art of Education surveys the seven skills of the accomplished educator: communication, self-criticism, recognition, flexibility, attention to details, prioritization, and the correct use of reward and punishment. Together, these seven skills form a Kabbalistic structural model that when properly understood functions like a neurological key unlocking the inner educator in each of us.
