070HMDEM1 | The Humanistic Stance of Educational Stakeholders |
---|---|
The cumulative goal of education is to offer learners opportunities to develop interrelated academic, personal, and social competencies that have a long-term impact on their lives. But how can this ideal be realized when school leaders and educators feel pressure to prioritize numerous initiatives within a limited amount of time? To better achieve the goal of developing interrelated competencies in learners, the learning community (educational stakeholders) must take steps to shift away from an approach in which academics and emotional and social wellbeing are segregated. Instead, the focus should be on an integrated, systemic framework, in which parallel processes of interrelated competencies for both educators and students are identified, built, and sustained through safe, positive relationships. “The Humanistic Stance of Educational Stakeholders” is a three credit course designed for K-12 teachers. The aim of this course is to enrich participants’ knowledge of the role of humanistic education in fostering self-actualized 21st century learners who recognize their own humanity and are responsible members of their immediate and global communities. The course tackles educational theories and practices from a humanistic approach which implies a central concern for sustainable human and social development. The course sheds light on the role of the learners, teachers and educational leaders in enhancing the dignity, capacity and welfare of the individual. Participants will engage in activities and learning experiences through which they will learn, plan to use, and implement strategies designed to cultivate dynamic learning in a responsive school environment.
