Every once in a while, it takes a radical approach to take down the most misguided educational traditions that we face in our work. Join Dr. Andy Jacks and education guru Alfie Kohn in an engaging discussion that breaks down some of ways to do just that in education as a whole and in school discipline. Topics include:
(1) The failure myth
(2) Analyzing task vs behavior
(3) Rethinking our goals in education and fighting the status quo
(3) Using community of the whole to improve the individual
Alfie Kohn is a highly regarded and award-winning author and speaker on human behavior, education, and parenting. Two of his 14 books are essential to school discipline:
