- The
Methodless Method: Krishnamurti Education, by
James W. Peterson (Summer 2000, Issue #5, pp. 54-59). Discusses
an educator and philosopher who started ten schools on three
continents and worked until he was 90 years old in making them
into places for learning, yet who was such an "enigma" that
he is rarely mentioned in mainstream education.
- Nourishing
The Inner Life In Schools, by Rachael Kessler (Spring
2002, Issue #12, pp. 27-31). Explores questions of spiritual development
in schools, its importance in the life of adolescents, and how
to make a place "for the soul" without violating the
separation of church and state, or deeply held beliefs by families.
(Action guide on "Teaching From
the the Soul" suggests other resources on this topic.)
- The Red Road: The
Indigenous Worldview as a Prerequisite for Effective Character Education,
by Don Trent-Jacobs (Summer 2001, Issue #9, pp. 6-9). Uses stories
from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Alfie Kohn references
to reconsider the meaning behind "ethics"
and "character" that might lead toward such universal virtues
as courage and generosity.
- Relational Education:
An Open Letter to An Educator, by Emanuel Pariser (Spring 2001,
Issue #8, pp. 35-42). Describes building a learning community that
is based on trust, respectful attention, and relationships.
- Serving and Learning,
by Chris Mercogliano (Winter 2001, Paths Issue #7, pp. 48-58). Underlying
this article are themes of living and playing as significant to the
kinds of "service learning" that the Albany Free School students
experienced in their visit to Puerto Rico.
