The document presents the "SunWALK" model of education developed by Dr. Roger Prentice over 12 years. The model sees education as the storied development of meaning through wise and willing action, loving and knowing, in community. It is based on three core aspects of being human - caring, creativity, and criticality. The model aims to simplify education around nurturing these three "primary colors" of the human spirit in students.
A passionate student is a learning student. As the people of the world are becoming increasingly connected, the nature, use, ownership, and purpose of knowledge are changing in profound ways. Our goal as educators is to leverage these connections and changes as powerful means to improve teaching and learning in our schools. Come join in a discussion of why we should all have a sense of urgency for shifting classroom practice toward more engaging approaches that unleash the passion that lies within each student.

Using an interdisciplinary approach and a phenomenological, hermeneutic, mystagogical methodology, this paper explores how children describe the deep fruits of meditation in their lives. Seventy children, aged 7 to 11, from four Irish primary schools were interviewed; all had engaged in meditation as a whole-school practice for at least two-years beforehand. The study sought to elicit from children their experience, if any, of the transcendent in meditation. It concludes that children can and do enjoy deep states of consciousness and that meditation has the capacity to nourish the innate spirituality of the child. It highlights the importance of personal spiritual experience for children and supports the introduction of meditation in primary schools.

Nothing in teaching is free of social dimensions and value questions. Teaching can therefore not be ‘neutral’, and teachers cannot sidestep the issue of their role in relation to sets of values. This section explores the role of the teacher in exercising and encouraging particular values.
Compulsory schooling means placing vast numbers of learners behind desks approximately 170 mornings a year. We know that the content that we teach is a selection from many things that could be taught. Under such circumstances, this selection has economic, social and even moral consequences for the learners and for society.

Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya: From Darkness to Lightbaidya
Share your knowledge, go from darkness to Light .
In a formal teaching environment, various content and subjects are exchanged between teachers and learners. A student’s learning is assessed only through the contents -its retention, its depth, and width. However, none of these give any measure to the amount of luminance of light that a learner has acquired and passed on during his/her learning processes using content as a vehicle. Thus the acquired luminance of light acts as the learner’s North Star of life – a guiding path. With this, the learner achieves success, builds family, contributes to society, and becomes part of the bonafide citizenry of any nation.

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.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. ‘ SunWALK’ a new humanistic model as the foundation for holistic education and social development by Dr Roger Prentice

7.
8. For me education is about the (reciprocal) nurturing of the human spirit, to A) help each other grow toward our perfection, and B) to contribute positively toward social enrichment & social justice. Together these = the core ethic.
9.
10.
11. Q. - What is the 50 word version of SunWALK? The one sentence version of The SunWALK model of spiritualizing pedagogy (learning & teaching) sees human education as the:- storied development of meaning , constructed, and de-constructed , physically, mentally & spiritually , through Wise & Willing Action, via Loving and Knowing – developed in Community through Dialectical Spiritualization processes (in all 4Cs) – all undertaken in the light of the ‘ Sun’ of (chosen) higher-order values and beliefs , using the best available, appropriate, content.
12.
13. 1 - storied development: ‘ Narrative has been described as a primary act of mind; children construct their world through story. This process should be an active experience, involving questioning, problem solving, hypothesising and imagining.' Cox Report English 5-11, Nov. 1988 ‘ It is not enough to get the big story inside the student but we also have to get the student inside the big story.’ Parker Palmer from Courage to Teach Being human, in the world, with others, is the ‘new’ grand narrative for education.
14.
15.
16. 2 - the storied development of MEANING : The humanity (or lack of it) of humans lies in the meaning they make. Making meaning is the essential characteristic of being human. Teaching & learning that is rich in meaning making = happiness. By meaning I mean the fulfilling of needs through achieving purpose, significantly in Caring, Creativity, Criticality - in Community We make meaning in teaching & learning through constructing and deconstructing texts – via different forms of dialogue.
17.
18.
19. 5 - through Wise & Willing Action Within SunWALK, by wisdom I mean; the state of maturity in which one can think and feel and act from a ’large picture perspective’, informed by sufficient experience, and by love and knowledge, and other such virtues of heart and mind.
20. 6 - through Wise & Willing Action Will is seen as the ability to focus energy on a goal. The goal is (right) action conditioned by Wisdom. The answers to alienation are identity and purpose. Identity and purpose = having satisfactory answers to ‘Who am I’ and to ‘What is my life for’. Identity and purpose generate the will for (right) action. Spirituality is the source of the will to act morally.
21. 7 - through Wise & Willing Action Action as experiential learning. Action as service learning The goal is (right) action conditioned by Wisdom. The answers to alienation are identity and purpose. Identity and purpose = having satisfactory answers to ‘Who am I’ and to ‘What is my life for’ – and people to care for as well as vice versa. Identity and purpose generate the will for (right) action.
22. 8 – via Loving and Knowing – We are no where without love/loving. Love/loving binds us. Love/loving enables us. Love/loving makes knowing possible. ‘ Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in the universe’. (`Abdu'l-Baha: Selections p. 27) Knowledge needs to shift to knowing.
23. 9 – via Loving and Knowing – The primary need is still the shift from a narrow, male-dominated view of knowledge and knowing to knowledge and knowing that is legitimised from Caring and Creativity and Community as well as Criticality There is also the need for a shift from knowledge as ‘stuff out there’ to knowing as a state of being and doing
24. 10 – developed in community through Community contexts for learning and teaching are inevitable but still under-used and ethnocentric.
25. 11 – Dialectical Spiritualization processes all DS is the name I give to the process of multi-level dialogue used to create intensive learning in the context of moral and spiritual development.
26. 12 - all undertaken in the light of the ‘Sun’ of chosen higher-order values and beliefs We all walk the path of our life in the ‘light’ of our ‘Sun’ i.e. of our (chosen) beliefs and values. The ‘Sun’ = the internalization of all of the (positive) influences that influence us. The ‘Sun’ is the composite of internalized values and beliefs that guides us as we walk the journey of our life.
27. 13 - all undertaken in the light of the ‘ Sun’ of chosen higher-order values and beliefs Higher-order values concern deeper, or the deepest, issues of life - including issues of self-sacrifice or ultimate reality c.f. lower-order values which are mere preferences - I prefer vanilla to strawberry flavored ice-cream.
28. 14 - all undertaken in the light of the ‘ Sun’ of chosen higher-order values and beliefs People believe what they will People believe what they are I once asked a class of 12-13 year olds in a Roman Catholic school how many of them believed in reincarnation - it was about 30%! Respect is the key
29. As a single sentence one more - the SunWALK model sees integrative human education as the: storied development of meaning , constructed, and de-constructed , physically, mentally & spiritually , through Wise & Willing Action, via Loving and Knowing – developed in Community through Dialectical Spiritualization processes (in all 4Cs) – all undertaken in the light of the ‘ Sun’ of (chosen) higher-order values and beliefs , using the best available, appropriate, content.

49. The 3Cs relate to three of the Ancient Greeks’ cardinal virtues Human spirit as the 3 Cs – the 3 voices Caring – (goodness) – the WE voice – Creativity - (beauty) - the I voice Criticality - (truth) - the IT voice
50.
51. Professor Matthew Lipman developed Philosophy for Children, starting in 1969. It is the exemplary programme for the development of criticality in the SunWALK model.
52.
53. The 3Cs relate to three domains Human spirit as the 3 Cs – the 3 voices Caring – (goodness) – the WE voice – from the moral domain Creativity (beauty) the I voice – from the domain of subjectivity Criticality (truth) the IT voice – from The domain of objectivity
54. Epistemologically the 3Cs provide three forms of knowing – internalized via socialization Human spirit as the 3 Cs – the 3 voices Caring – (goodness) – the WE voice – from the moral domain – Social-knowing (internalized from Relationships) Creativity (beauty) the I voice – from the domain of subjectivity subjective-creative- mystical knowing Criticality (truth) the IT voice – from The domain of objectivity Objective-reasoning- scientific-knowing

This presentation is based on my research over the last 12 years, out of which came a model of education, & my doctoral thesis. The model I have called SunWALK: a ‘new paradigm’ 21 st C model of education. The thesis was entitled: Spiritualizing Pedagogy: education as the art of working with the human spirit
