Anger in the Classroom: Finding Freedom from Anger: A Handbook for Teacher and Learner

Teachers are given a great responsibility and challenge when they enter a classroom. The way they see, interpret, and act will determine the difference between effective or weak communication and teaching. It is the task of the teacher to learn and prepare for this classroom setting, including the intrusion of trouble spots, such as anger in its many forms.

Anger in the Classroom will help teachers figure out the causes of anger and how to prevent it.

Manners Make Friends

My sister and I were taught to be polite! My mother wanted us to know how to sit at the table, how to ask others if they would like some bread, and how to pass them the cheese should they ask for it. So it was when I was in high school I received a prize from the DAR for "good manners." It came as a surprise to me just the same. An embroidered handkerchief!

Recently I was telling a friend that I wanted to do a book on...manners! "Manners are missing! But I cannot start without having a title! And I have not yet found a title!"

"I have one!" said my eight-year-old grandson raising his hand.

"And what can that be?" I asked him a bit dubious.

"Manners Make Friends," he cried out.

There it was! The perfect title! There was nothing left to do but get to work!

A Moving Inquiry: The Art of Personal Practice

Is it possible to remain connected to the wholeness of embodied experience, as modern life becomes increasingly disembodied, fragmented and fast-moving? Many people hunger for a meaningful movement practice, but struggle to find it. The movement practice offered in this book is an inquiry into the nature of human flourishing. Our lives are made of movements, and bringing an organizing consciousness to our moment-by-moment experience opens a flow of intelligence from the natural world through our senses and tissues. Instead of living “on the surface,” we can know ourselves as part of nature’s body, connected to nature’s life force. This book is a guide to establishing a personal movement practice that can serve as the foundation of daily life, with the body itself as teacher.

A Moving Inquiry: The Art of Personal Practice, is an exquisite roadmap to the ‘how’ of engaging in a sensuous practice of embodiment based on the philosophy and theory of Continuum. To be in genuine somatic inquiry, knowing body as process and aware of the fluid forces that guide our healing and creative unfolding, is life-changing. Beth and Priscilla have transformed their years of experience into a readable manual with creative suggestions to explore. This book is a welcome addition, relevant for teachers and students alike, and invites us to live with increased compassion and depth of meaning.
