Whole person development is a way of viewing the past, present and possibly human that exist in each of us. It is a self-observing, self remembering process that invites each of us to develop in a way that benefits the communal environment. Such a collective consciousness acknowledges stewardship for the planet and reciprocal honoring of all living things. As we move toward an automation and computer engendered, "worker-less" society the role of educations becomes tantamount to societal success, and perpetuation. As we move from a mechanistic paradigm toward a more holoarchically balanced, humanistic culture respectful of each member or the human family, we are taking the next evolutionary step. The 21st Century holds the possibility of a quantum leap for human kind with forward or backward. Wholly developed people will fully participate and advocate forward mobility. FAMILY INVOLVEMENT The Development of the Unified Family a series for individuals and groups to become aware of their family history, its importance in economics and health, and especially the role of responsible parenthood. COACHING Coaching is defined by The Coaches Training Institute, is a powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness and fulfillment. Coaches are trained to assist people in optimizing their performance and deepening their satisfaction in life. Coaches move people from potential to achievement. Coaches are hired by people who desire to be peak performers. In sports, no professional athlete would ever think to compete without using the strategic expertise and perspective of a coach. In business and in various professions, success is often based upon having the support of other person who recognizes your unique employment potential. Coaching is a professional alliance which empowers both personal and professional success. |
AWARENESS Enlightens the viewer about the relationship of homelessness to public school education. UNDERSTANDING Describes the social, emotional, financial, and educational consequences of homelessness from the perspective of families and students who have experienced homelessness.OPPORTUNITY Outlines positive steps that schools and communities can take to assist students and families without homes from the perspective of parents, students, school personnel, and service providers. COLLABORATION The problems surrounding students in homeless situations reach far beyond the walls of the school. These students lack or have minimal access to the basics of life: food, clothing, shelter, health care, bathing facilities. Until these basic needs are satisfied, it is unreasonable to expect students to perform well in school. A number of districts across the nation have formed successful partnership with social service agencies, businesses, churches, foundations, service organizations, and volunteer groups to ensure that those basic needs are met. By so doing, schools can get on with their intended purpose: to educate all students to meet their state's challenging performance standards, regardless of the students' living arrangements. CARING By working together creatively, schools and communities can help to piece the puzzle together one student at a time, one family at a time.
