"This splendid book brings to education one of the most neglected and abused resources of our continent: the deep knowing of American Indian people. This is precisely what we need to revitalize our educational systems. Everyone who reads this book with an open heart and mind will emerge wise and stronger."
Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach
Do you want a character educational approach that uses natural integration of knowledge, spiritual awareness and the application of core universal virtues while honoring the creativity of each teacher ? This highly acclaimed book shows educators how to weave character education into all subjects across the curriculum. This approach moves away from the behavioral or religious based models and honors the wisdom of traditional American Indian ways of learning and teaching. Teaching Virtues i compatible with most character education programs but extends them with more application across the curriculum using specific lesson plan guidelines for finding teachable moments.
A more ethical and more educated student is the result, one who can contribute to the community, school, and whose moral leadership,values and citizenship will make the world a better place.
Come see why this book has been endorsed by such notable luminaries as Parker Palmer, Noam Chomsky, C.A.Bowers, Sunita Gandhi, Ron Miller, Mary Williams and Ed DeRoche, Larry Brentro, Vine Deloria, Jr., Rachael Kessler, and Thom Hartman.
