HOW EDUCATION CAN LEAD THE WAY TO AN INTEGRAL SOCIETY: A PROVEN MODEL FOR DOING SO ALREADY EXISTS

Abstract

Current brain research gives us the knowledge we need to create an Integral Society in every public school in America, pre-K through 12th and college level as well. The needed instructional strategies and curriculum development practices have been clearly described (Kovalik and Olsen, 2004) and are well within the grasp of current teachers. What is missing is the political will to implement what we know.
