"A groundbreaking guide to surviving, thriving, and finding meaning in a world rocked by the outsourcing of jobs abroad and the computerization of our lives."
As Kate Schaffer requested at a recent K-12 Art Committee meeting, I read the book A Whole New Mind. Please note that her review of this book is listed through the KML Faculty File Share.
This book struck me in many ways:
- I teach in a predominantly left-brain (information) dominant classroom and do not appeal to the right-brain processes that my students need.
- I train my students in many ways that can be duplicated by the abundant world that we live in. I desperately need my students to think critically.
- The six senses this book mentions (Design, Story, Sympathy, Empathy, Play, and Meaning) are lacking in my information driven classroom.
- Our students desperately need a well-rounded education in the arts that develops their whole mind.
