How May I Serve You? Revelations in Education

Book Jacket

â€œIsn't the purpose of an â€œeducationâ€ about living outside the walls of our classrooms and schools? Yet, as a society, it feels we tend to separate and isolate the components of school topics and agendas from real life, real time experiences. How we handle disappointment, stress, and the values we embrace begin in classrooms where our first introductions to an expanded social life are formed.

This is a story of perspective embedded with a question that turns us upside down and inside out when we ask, and then simply listen.

One simple question could change our perspectives and therefore the outcomes of how we view conflict and handle disagreements in our homes and schools. Those conflicts that appear to suck us dry of energy, enthusiasm and a willingness to look deeply at the possibilities of change. What if you implemented this question trusting that an emotional connection with your students, colleagues, family members and friends could re- ignite compassion and therefore rebuild or renew a relationship that is awaiting understanding?

There is such a question and it begins with a gentle philosophy that warms up the heart, much like a dress rehearsal before a performance or a workout before an athletic event? This question is so powerful that it stops a heated conflict with such force that persons grow quiet trying to process the question long after it has been asked.

There is rarely a day that passes where educational reform, is not the headline news in our national and global media. We see public schools floundering, an increase in standardized assessments, an increase in teacher evaluations based on student growth, turnaround schools being taken over by private industry and charter schools opening like wild fires- yet, it feels to be the same dialogue originating from the outside in; a desire to fix and control what is broken without a deeper understanding of relationships and reflection. To save a system, or another, one must return to the heart brain connection that leads with self-reflection and an integrity that is willing to seek personal change, perspective and compassion.

Open up and look inside- discovering that educational reform is only a small piece to this vast landscape of creative reform and life possibilities.
