Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection", would not suffer such emotions.
If you are searching modern techniques for teaching. This philosophy is fitted for you. Its simple but it gives the summary. Don't forget to recognize my name as your reference.

Educational Philosophies Definitions and Comparison Chart
Within the epistemological frame that focuses on the nature of knowledge and how we come to
know, there are four major educational philosophies, each related to one or more of the general
or world philosophies just discussed. These educational philosophical approaches are currently
used in classrooms the world over. They are Perennialism, Essentialism, Progressivism, and
Reconstructionism. These educational philosophies focus heavily on WHAT we should teach,
the curriculum aspect.
Perennialism
For Perennialists, the aim of education is to ensure that students acquire understandings about
the great ideas of Western civilization. These ideas have the potential for solving problems in
any era. The focus is to teach ideas that are everlasting, to seek enduring truths which are
constant, not changing, as the natural and human worlds at their most essential level, do not
change. Teaching these unchanging principles is critical. Humans are rational beings, and their
minds need to be developed. Thus, cultivation of the intellect is the highest priority in a
worthwhile education. The demanding curriculum focuses on attaining cultural literacy, stressing
students' growth in enduring disciplines. The loftiest accomplishments of humankind are
emphasized– the great works of literature and art, the laws or principles of science. Advocates
of this educational philosophy are Robert Maynard Hutchins who developed a Great Books
program in 1963 and Mortimer Adler, who further developed this curriculum based on 100 great
books of western civilization.
Essentialism
Essentialists believe that there is a common core of knowledge that needs to be transmitted to
students in a systematic, disciplined way. The emphasis in this conservative perspective is on
intellectual and moral standards that schools should teach. The core of the curriculum is
essential knowledge and skills and academic rigor. Although this educational philosophy is
similar in some ways to Perennialism, Essentialists accept the idea that this core curriculum
may change. Schooling should be practical, preparing students to become valuable members of
society ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. The Two Major Premises of
Reconstructionism
• Society is in need of constant
reconstruction or change
• Such social change involves a
reconstruction of education and the use
of education in reconstructing the
society
3. Historical Background of Reconstructionism
• Reconstructionist ideas in one form or another have
existed throughout history.
• Plato, in preparing his design for a future state, was
a “reconstructionist” philosopher. He outlined a plan
for a just state in which education would become
the building material for a new and better society.
In his book, Laws, he envisioned a time when
interest charges would be forbidden, profits would
be limited, and human beings would live as friends.
• Stoic philosophers, particularly in their concern for
a world state, promoted a reconstructionist ideal.
4. Historical Background of Reconstructionism
• Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher,
maintained that he was a citizen of the world, not of
Rome. This concept is one of that reconstructionists
articulate today in their attempts to minimize
nationalistic fervour and chauvinism.
• Augustine preached reconstructionist reforms to bring
about an ideal Christian state through his book The
City of God.
• Thomas More, Thomas Campanella, Johann Valentin
Andreae, Samuel Gott and other Christian utopian
writers also proposed things we might do to bring the
state into better accord with Christian thinking.
5. Historical Background of Reconstructionism
• Writings of 18th and 19th century utopian socialists,
such as Comte de Saint Simon, Charles Fourier and
Francois Noel Babeuf, advocated reconstructionist ideals
through the development of various forms of socialism.
• Robert Owen and Edward Bellamy were part of the
industrial revolution, but saw the use of technology not
only for the production of wealth, but for improving
the lot of humanity throughout the world.
• Karl Marx, decrying the harm done to workers by the
dehumanization of the industrial system, who pictured
a reconstructed world based on international
communism.
6. Historical Background of Reconstructionism
• After the World War, Bertrand Russell in his
Principles of Social Reconstruction, listed steps that
might be taken to avoid the holocaust of war.
• B. F. Skinner advocates the use of conditioning or
“behavioural engineering” in his book Walden Two.
In his Beyond Freedom and Dignity, Skinner
maintains that people cannot afford freedom in the
traditional sense and that they must engineer a
new social order based on a technology of behaviour.
• Horace Mann and John Dewey view education as a
tool for social reform.
8. Modern reconstructionism is basically pragmatic and
owes a tremendous debt to Dewey. Reconstructionists
promotes such things as the scientific method, problem
solving, naturalism, and humanism; however,
reconstructionists diverge from pragmatists in how they
believe the pragmatic method should be used.
Although pragmatism advocates continuous change and
a forward-looking approach to the problems of people and
society it has become a tool for helping people adjust to
society rather than change it.
Education, from the reconstructionist’s view, is a tool
for immediate and continuous change.
14. Focus of Learning
*Critically analyze world events
*Explore controversial issues
*Develop vision for new and better
world
*Promote programs of cultural
renewal
15. Curriculum
*Critical Pedagogy
– Unites theory and practice
– Provides students with critical thinking tools
*Public Education should be the direct
instrument of world reformation
*Use moral dilemmas to direct attention
toward social and world reform
16. Role of the Teacher
*An educator who is also a social activist
*Sees education as a tool for solving the problems of
society
- The teacher can inform others about the
nature and the extent of the problem
- Can suggest what one can do about these
problems
*Rather than being passive dispensers of knowledge,
teachers should become facilitators for analysis and
change
18. *Reconstructionists analysis of social problems and
the accompanying remedies suffer from shallowness
and superficiality.
*Often, in their strong desire for change,
reconstructionists are precipitous in their
recommendations for reform.
*Reconstructionists have a romantic notion of what
schools can do.
*The views about democracy and decision making
are questionable.
19. Post Script
Reconstructionist philosophy has been an
antidote to the easy virtues of
materialism, traditional cultural values,
and social stability. Its theory is not widely
accepted but it can stimulate and provoke
critical thinking. It has provided visions for
a more perfect world and suggested ways
of obtaining them.
Concern for social values, humane justice,
human community, world peace,
economic justice, equality of opportunity,
freedom and democracy – are the
significant goals for reconstructionism.
