This book includes papers written by teachers and how they engage holistic education in their classrooms. Thepapers come from a course taught by Jack Miller at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at theUniversity of Toronto entitled The Holistic Curriculum. This is a rich and diverse collection of papers showinghow holistic education can be brought into public education despite the pressures of testing and otheraccountability measures. Although most of the teachers teach in public schools there are also examples fromteachers working in private and post secondary settings. This book can inspire other teachers who are lookingfor ways to teach the whole person in a more connected manner.There are very few texts in the field of holistic education that include the voices and practices of teachers,particularly those working in public schools. Many of the examples of holistic education in practice come fromWaldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and alternative schools. A unique feature of this book is the manydifferent voices of teachers describing their work in the classroom; they talk about their successes, the challenges and even a few failures.
