This anthology covers diverse yet interconnected themes, including what it means to be a conscious witness of our times, questions about 9/11, the second Bush administration and the American Empire Project, the global economic crisis, income inequalities, personally navigating chaos and the election of Donald Trump. Here are alternative, radical ideas for social reform and tackling inequality. They offer an account of how American economic and political elites have undermined democracy and drastically weakened the U.S., while causing untold suffering in the Middle East and around the world. The author shows how we can make a lasting difference. The seeds of practical hope are nurtured for navigating chaos and for countering fear. He also suggests what we can do to re-imagine America as, "e;the promise of a new beginning."e; He calls for a new Covenant between the American people and its government that engages both conservatives and progressives

Questioning the Language of Improvement and Reform in Education challenges the language used in education by linking the language of both the public and professional domains with the changing intentions of the governance of education. Exploring various issues, which embody the many manifestations of the manner in which strident, conservative language has captured the public view of education, the book covers topics such as the importance of language in the context of educational practice, the media's portrayal of teachers globally, the role of students in the face of curriculum reform and the language used in educational policy worldwide. The book addresses the ways in which the words ‘improvement’ and ‘reform’ have been appropriated and hollowed-out by policymakers in order to justify globalised education policies. Using international case studies and reports, the authors argue that the employment of specific words masks the reality that new educational policies are regressive and require re-examination, while perpetuating the illusion that progressive educational practice is being brought to the fore. Questioning the Language of Improvement and Reform in Education is a fascinating and original take on this topic, which will be of great interest to educational practitioners, policymakers and linguists.

What does a healthy, successful school look like? Is it all about measurable outcomes, test scores, and pass/fail grades set by the government? Can learning be quantified in short-term measurements or does real learning take years to manifest in a career or biography? All seem to agree that a healthy school is also a community and that community depends on the quality of relationships—chiefly the relationships among students, teachers, and parents. This book features a comprehensive examination of the parent–teacher relationship in all its dimensions, from parent evenings and conferences to communication, conflict, and the life-cycle of parent involvement in their school. In between the chapters on practical advice are sections that consider the issues from a deeper, spiritual dimension. This book is intended to stimulate conversation, self-reflection, and relational practices that awaken community life in and around our schools.

Based on many years working in Anthroposophy and in Waldorf schools, and drawing extensively on Rudolf Steiner’s words, Jon McAlice’s radical, thought-provoking book opens the field for a new vision of the collaborative possibilities available in schools that are established and sustained by parents and teachers for the sake of students. Seeking to shift the conversation concerning school governance from a structural to a dynamic approach, McAlice emphasizes learning as a multileveled process of becoming. As he puts it, “a school is a working community dedicated to the art of becoming”—a community in which students and adults participate in the difficult task of creating a free, self-governing ecology of learning. For this, the adults must learn to trust one another and develop confidence in collegiality. Understanding the guidance of their common task, they must find the humility and honesty to listen without judgment and to speak with authenticity. To create a context in which “children can practice the art of self-education,” educators must themselves become examples of self-governing, creative, responsible human beings, committed to learning and self-development through encounters in which content and process merge in an experience of absolute freedom. Thus something new becomes possible. McAlice shows how such an ideal can become a reality when parents, teachers, and students all work and learn together for the common goal of becoming more fully human within a dynamic, engaged, participatory learning community. Engaged Community provides anyone involved in Waldorf education with the appropriate tools and language to take the hard work of dialog and conversation to a higher level.

"The building process began in the summer of 1996, when Jorge and Michele Sanz-Cordona, architect and interior designer, led a seminar on anthroposophic architecture. Anthroposophic architecture, Inspired by Rudolf Steiner, is architecture that fosters spirituality and healing. Straw-bale architect Jeff Dickinson, of Energy & Sustainable Design, attended the seminar. Jeff then immersed himself in the study of Waldorf education and Steiner-inspired architectural principles. He consulted with other Waldorf schools and their architects. He soon came up with the plans for the first-ever Waldorf school to be built with straw." (Laurie Stone, from the school website) Raising Waldorf is a lavishly produced, heartfelt book that recounts the birth and building of a Waldorf school. Fifteen years ago it began as a small initiative through a small group of parents in a small town in western Colorado, located on the upper reaches of the Roaring Fork River watershed in the Rocky Mountains. The story of the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork is the sum of many stories that have become one. It is a tale told in many voices not only about the building of buildings, but also the building of community and commitment. It poignantly details the risk-taking ideas, the heartfelt feelings, and the enormous will forces needed to start such an enterprise, as well as to realize an ideal. Paging through this visual feast and its engaging contributions, readers will recognize the depth of a shared journey that leads to the realistic acceptance of a work "still in process"--the mystery of new beginnings, the ecstasy of birth, the hopes of a growing community, the challenges and disappointments, the triumphs and sorrows, and the eventual sense of accomplishment. Parents, teachers, children, administrators, staff, graduates, and friends of the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork have told their hard-won story in loving detail, as Doug Sheffer, parent and publisher, puts it--"in the hope that it will encourage and further your story as you build your school, your business, your non-profit organization, or combine your talents with others for the greater good in service of humankind."
