false 3000960 1 As a result of today's crisis in education, people are beginning to realize that schools involve far more than providing children with knowledge and skills. Schools are communities and, like all communities, may be healthy or unhealthy. <P>School Renewal addresses the problems and challenges of a school community. Through the use of fairy tales, myths, and the personal experience of Waldorf education, Torin Finser describes how both teachers and parents can come to grips with common problems such as burnout, interpersonal conflicts, and the traps of routine. <P>Most important, the author stresses that an educational community must come to terms with the many unseen dimensions of each individual. He shows how these little-understood aspects of the mind can be cultivated and nourished to keep the school and education alive. <P>School Renewal does not offer formulas and slapdash solutions. Rather, it encourages a whole new way of thinking about education and personal growth &#151; for children and for the adults who care about them. 3031451 9 2001 School Renewal: A Spiritual Journey for Change total:1|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 1 3 3 1 3 0 false false Wed Nov 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 10:11:59 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 11:34:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 01:11:08 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 01:11:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 13 11:27:56 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 11:27:56 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3000960
