Plus, she tackles some of the most daunting societal issues impacting children today, from bullying to gun violence and beyond. Corley shares human interest stories that shed light on what is and isn’t working and provides a calm hand and a much-needed perspective from the front lines of learning.

En Cabaret místico se da estructura a los encuentros que, desde hace años, Alejandro Jodorowsky viene manteniendo con el público que acude a sus conferencias.

The days of teaching people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine are over. We must reinvent ourselves as individuals and as a culture.

The Feeling of Teaching is part of a larger project, Teaching through Emotions (TTE), developed by the author, Elizabeth Burris. Throughout the book, listeners are shown the power of emotion work: practicing self-awareness, describing, looking for good reasons, guessing, self-disclosing, listening, and planning. By doing emotion work, teachers can take full advantage of the emotional and relational data their students are constantly providing to shift their teaching and better attune with the learners in their classrooms.

Dell'anima è stato detto di tutto: che è mortale o immortale, che può salvarsi o dannarsi, conoscere la verità o cadere nell'errore, che eleva e nobilita tutto ciò che nell'uomo è poco nobile, cosicché anche il desiderio non è solo dei corpi. Due secoli fa si pensò che potesse ammalarsi, proprio come il corpo, e richiedere medici dell'anima: nacquero la psichiatria, la psicoanalisi, la psicologia, che tolsero all'anima la sua aureola e contribuirono a disperderne la verità nei vari saperi.
