«In 'The common Vision', David Marshak reminds educators that our task goes beyond the transmission of information and cultural values to our students. Dr. Marshak provides three inspirational examples in which teaching is about modeling, forming meaningful relationships, and providing an environment where each child can unfold and flourish. In the midst of our elaborate process of educational reform, we need to hold onto this profound message.» (Alice Leeds, Multiage Elementary Teacher, Lincoln, Vermont) «David Marshak's pioneering, highly original study introduces some of this century's most astute explorers of the human spirit, whose insights pose radical questions about modern understandings of education. This book provides a much needed counterpoint to the reductionistic thinking that influences most educational theory and practice today.» (Ron Miller, Founding Editor of 'Holistic Education Review' and 'Great Ideas in Education') «Marshak, a professor of education, brings years of research...to this well-documented treatise on the educational vision of three early 20th century spiritual teachers: Rudolf Steiner, Aurobindo Ghose, and Inayat Khan...Marshak's many on-site observations, from a second-grade Waldorf class to an Aurobindo ashram, are especially illuminating. It's a book for open-minded parents and educators who truly wish to nurture the spirit of children.» (NAPRA Review) «David Marshak's book is an important and timely contribution to holistic education.» (Jack Miller, Encounter) «This is inspiring and necessary reading for those committed to rethinking an adequate education.» (Marcia Sprague, Convergence) «I recommend this book to parents and teachers everywhere.» (Michael Peter Langevin, Magical Blend)., In 'The common Vision', David Marshak reminds educators that our task goes beyond the transmission of information and cultural values to our students.

Synopsis
Counterpoints publishes the most compelling and imaginative books being written in education today. Grounded on the theoretical advances in criticalism, feminism and postmodernism in the last two decades of the twentieth century, Counterpoints engages the meaning of these innovations in various forms of educational expression. Committed to the proposition that theoretical literature should be accessible to a variety of audiences, the series insists that its authors avoid esoteric and jargonistic languages that transform educational scholarship into an elite discourse for the initiated., The Common Vision: Parenting and Educating for Wholeness presents the teachings about child raising and education of Rudolf Steiner, Sri Aurobindo Ghose, and Hazrat Inayat Khan. The book reveals the powerful similarities among these three teachings, which together describe a common vision of human nature and human growth from birth to age twenty-one. This common vision provides parents with a profound understanding of children as whole beings and of their capacities and needs physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It offers teachers and parents a detailed description of what children need in their schooling at various ages if they are to grow into wholeness and manifest their potential.
