The Conscious Classroom draws on both the author's deep and comprehensive experience of schools, and the incredible work of educators who are helping students to develop greater critical and creative awareness in classrooms. This solutions-focused book offers a pathway to mental wellbeing and ethical leadership, and will enable schools to nurture those aspects of character that enable students to have an awakened conscience, rooted in a clear understanding and living of values, such as dignity, compassion, integrity, justice, trust and harmony.
This work is actively informed by neuroscience and what is now known about how our brains best learn, and describes how students can be more consciously aware in a process of developing the essential skill of self-leadership, which nourishes resilience, wellbeing and agency. Its central question for adults and students alike is, “Who do you choose to be in the world?”. Neil gives a fascinating overview, explaining how his original ideas emerged as a teacher, headteacher and leader of school systems. He explains how values, reflective thinking and quality education are the keys to expanding consciousness, wellbeing and self-leadership. The book focuses on ten schools that demonstrate how they are creating conscious classrooms.
This essential book will help teachers to enhance the wellbeing and resilience of themselves and their students, and give hope and a sense of renewed purpose to those who believe in the power of education for the general good of humanity.
