The Power of the Whole: What is lost by focusing on individual things

  • - What can we learn from the world around us that could influence education?
  • - How education is - or isn't - applying this to its systems and processes?
  • - How can we start or grow this approach in education?

Session Description

This is both a book about ourselves, and our world, but it is also a book about, and for education. We have spent decades focusing on the specifics of each skill, segment, sector, and system. But what we are now realizing is what we have lost in how these things work together. We have lost how they complement and support each other. We have lost an understanding of what makes these things whole. We have lost and continue to lose the glue that holds these parts together, and that is often necessary for the whole to function properly.
