Growing Greatness: Six Amazing Attitudes of Extraordinary Teachers and Parents (Zb54)

In this wise and perceptive book, veteran public school teacher/administrator Lynn Stoddard surveys the current state of public education in America and concludes that things have gone terribly wrong. His solution is to have parents and educators start by realizing that standardization in education is neither possible or effective. Only then can they focus on creating schools that truly educate for human greatness. 
To create such schools Stoddard proposes that parents, teachers, administrators and school board members keep six cardinal principles constantly in mind: 
• Value Positive Human Diversity and Cherish Every Student’s Uniqueness • Draw Out and Develop Each Child’s Latent Talents • Respect the Autonomy of the Individual by Restoring Freedom and Responsibility • Invite Inquiry, Curiosity, and Hunger for Knowledge in the Classroom • Support Professionalism as Teachers Live by these Principles • Parents and Teachers Unite to Help Children Grow in Human Greatness 
Educating for Human Greatness deserves an honored place on the reading list of every parent who really cares about the future of their children, every teacher and administrator who puts students first in their professional lives, and every school board member who wants schools to be places where student development is a reality, not just a slogan.

Holistic Education Press

Educating for Human Greatness is the long overdue paradigm shift for the way we educate children in our public schools. This field-tested model, created by a group of master educators, broadens and deepens education so it all makes sense, yet it simplifies the process we call school. Educating for Human Greatness restores joy and enthusiasm to teaching and learning, enabling to produce superior outcomes with students. EfHG empowers everyone -students, parents, administration, legislators, and it will especially restore honor and respect to teachers- empowering them to develop as great contributors to the profession. In general, Educating for Human Greatness helps everyone fall in love with learning. The Educating for Human Greatness conception can be used by parents at home to help bring out the best in their children every day. It is also a valuable model for teachers in business, government, or church. The principles and priorities are now readily available to add zest to your life, too. -Anthony Dallmann-Jones, PhD, Editor Educating for Human Greatness educators should not be surprised when students find it difficult to leave the building in the afternoon and race to school the next morning! -Frank Kros, President of The Upside Down Organization
