The Erich Fromm Reader -...

Erich Fromm

“Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world.” —Newsweek Erich Fromm’s basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of “social character,” Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium.The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm’s unique social psychological notion.

Face Failure - Characteristics...

Brittany Forrester

The etymology of the word fail is derived from the French word faillir, which means “almost to do.” Faillir is derived from the Latin word fallere, which means to deceive or lead into error. These definitions imply that when people fail, they do not follow through with their intentions, and those who believed that they would be in some way deceived. 
People who experience failure can feel a sense of shame. This emotional response can cause them to suppress their feelings, deflect the responsibility of the failure, neglect to learn from the valuable lessons, and thwart the possibility for future success. 
As Winston Churchill so eloquently said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

The Montessori Difference -...

Angeline Stoll Lillard

Montessori is the oldest and most widespread alternative educational system available today. In the United States alone, Montessori is implemented in thousands of schools, including over 600 public ones. Its main claim is that the pedagogy is closely aligned with developmental science and that given the appropriate environment, infants and children develop themselves. Yet studies of the outcomes of this form of education have thus far been scattered, with no intensive qualitative review to inform parents, teachers, administrators, researchers, and school districts of what we know about Montessori's outcomes. The Montessori Difference examines and synthesizes the existing body of research on the outcomes of Montessori education to consider the efficacy of a Montessori education. It introduces the main tenets of Montessori education; reviews academic outcomes in literacy, math, and social-emotional outcomes like executive function and wellbeing; and offers a primer on how to interpret research, including meta-analyses, the pros and cons of different research designs to study school outcomes, and effect sizes. In doing so, it dispels some of the myths of Montessori and considers the challenges and opportunities inherent in the broader implementation of Montessori schooling. Pointing out both weaknesses and strengths in the existing literature, Angeline Stoll Lillard weaves together evidence from the highest quality studies to conclude when and how the research suggests this century-old way of educating makes a difference in the outcomes of children.
