December reading list

Inspiration:
Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth: Awakening to your life's purpose" (main focus: understanding the value of this very moment. may seem a little far reaching for some but it has made a world of difference in enlightening my everyday experience)

School:
¡En Español 1! (if you in high school or if you'd just like to learn high school level beginner Spanish, this could just be your salvation!)
¡En Español 2! (think you're ready to advance to two past tenses and reflexive verbs?? you might just find this is the textbook for you! Please speak to its representative - me - if you would like some further information or tutoring)

John Dewey (okay, this is bad...can't even remember the title of the book! hopefull the intern seminar leader at EWS isn't reading this blog!) (basically this is revolutionary educational theory in its purest - and oldest- form)

"Horace's Compromise" by Theodore R. Sizer. After 5 years of so of researching America's high schools in the 1980s Sizer takes paints a picture of how American schools were in the 1980s (focusing on both the perspective of the teachers and the students) and he offers suggestions for educational reform. The message is still appropriate to today's educational scene and I really enjoy the journalistic as well as academic approach he took in writing this book.

News:
The Christian Science Monitor. Love the simplicity, yet thoroughness and sincerity with which the articles are written.
