Out of the Classroom and into the World - Learning from Field Trips Educating from Experience and Unlocking the Potential of Our Students and Teachers

Salvatore Vascellaro

Beschreibung

Bank Street College of Education professor Salvatore Vascellaro is a leading advocate of taking children and teachers into a wider world as the key to improving our struggling schools.Combining practical and theoretical guidance, Out of the Classroom and into the World visits a rich variety of classrooms transformed by innovative field trip curricula—showing how students' hearts and minds are opened as they discover how a suspension bridge works, what connects them to the people and places of their neighborhood, and as they come to understand the ecosystem of a river by following it to its source. Vascellaro shows, equally, that what teachers can offer children is fueled by their own engagement with the world, and he offers stunning examples of teachers awakened by their direct experiences with the social issues plaguing American society—from the flood-torn areas of New Orleans to the mining areas of West Virginia.Based on the core principles of progressive pedagogy, and the wisdom gained from Vascellaro's experience as a teacher, school administrator, and teacher educator, Out of the Classroom and into the World is a direct retort to test scores and standards as adequate measures of teaching and learning—an inspiring call and major new resource for anyone interested in reinvigorating America's classrooms.

This book is dedicated to people who are interested in realizing the proven benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). Most importantly, you are going to learn that in life, there is one person you should be kind to above all else. And that person is you.
Getting through depression and anxiety requires changing the way you think. When a person becomes actively aware of their negative and unrealistic thoughts, they begin to engage in healthier thoughts that do not dampen their moods.
Fortunately, self-acceptance is something we can nurture. Look at it as a skill that you can practice versus an innate trait that you either have or don’t.
Typical human behavior focuses on negative qualities. A quick response, like the one above, lacks full consideration and understanding. But it's this impulse reflex that allows us to tap into our depths, into what drives us. It tells us truthfully what we really want to feel, but it also allows doubt to set in. And with more doubt comes more negative thoughts.
This book helps you to discover how to:
• Overcome emotional problems (such as depression, anxiety and anger).
• Ways to be self-compassionate and nonjudgmental toward your own emotions.
• Build better relationships.
• Improve physical health.
• Identify situations that you might avoid and gradually approaching feared situations.
Stop the cycle of self-destructive behavior, learn how to regulate your emotions to manage anxiety and fear, and discover mindfulness. Get this book to overcome negativity using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Committed Therapy with specific innovative techniques and practical exercises.
