"This book is a commentary on the many commonalities and the occasional differences between Tao philosophy and experiential education theory and practice."--The Leader Who is Hardly Known Taoist philosophy and text can have deep meaning for experiential educators because of its focus on natural spontaneity and unself-conscious learning and teaching. The Leader Who is Hardly Known compiles a series of essays that begin with a brief story focusing on the experiences and lessons of a teacher called the Leader Who is Hardly Known. Following the story, the essay shares Taoist quotes and the author s thought that relate back to the story. Written in an order that emphasizes personality traits that affect leadership, commonalities to experiential education programs, then the necessity of connection to the natural world; the essays contained are intentionally short and can stand alone for reference and guidance. The conclusion summarizes how the principles contained form a foundational philosophy for experiential education.

John Dewey believed in education, and he believed in American participatory democracy. Simpson uses personal anecdotes, Dewey s extensive writings, and even Chinese legends to discuss Dewey s ideas about teaching democracy, independent thinking, and a sense of community. They are as relevant today as when they were written.

"Processing is an intuitive practice, and the processing pinnacle is an attempt to put logic and structure to something that is not particularly logical." --The Processing Pinnacle Experiential education focuses mainly on the idea that there are two components to experience: the action and reflection. The Processing Pinnacle offers a theoretical approach to more effective processing, the reflective component of experience. Offering different points of view from the growing world of experiential education, the authors consider the difficulties of processing and suggest techniques to remove these roadblocks. Utilizing the metaphor of the mountain, the authors demonstrate how and when certain facilitator methods may elicit immediate response and make a lasting impression on the individual, encouraging reflection as a personal response to life experience. Easy to implement and conversational in tone, The Processing Pinnacle contains valuable guidance for anyone who teaches experientially.

The Processing Pinnacle: An Educator's Guide To Better Processing

This book is an instructional guide describing some of the different ways Chiji Cards can be used to facilitate key moments during group experiences. This guidebook gives a simple, straightforward explanation of the processing theory that coincides with the original use of Chiji Cards, and it provides a rationale for when to use one processing technique over another. The Activity Guide Section of the book presents 25 different ways to use Chiji Cards. The activities are divided into six chapters-Processing Activities, Getting-To-Know-You, Frontloading Activities, Object Lessons, Initiative Activities, and Fun With Chiji Cards. Most of the activities we have developed ourselves, but several come directly from other experiential educators who have shared their uses of the cards with us. Chiji Cards are a deck of 48 cards with pictures originally designed to spark/enhance discussion during a processing session. When a facilitator asks the group a question, each person chooses a card that symbolizes his or her answer to the question. The images on the cards are used as prompts to help individuals organize their thinking. Rather than having to pull an answer to a question out of thin air, the pictures provide a starting point from which to formulate a response.
