Nordic Integral Education

(THIS SITE IS NOW TRANSFERRING TO http://nordicintegral.thoughtlead.com/ )In these podcasts I inquire into the moral, ethical, philosophical and spiritual context fundamental to leadership in education today and tomorrow - from preschool and up - highlighting case studies from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, USA, Canada, Australia and UK. These calls are inspired by the model IT'S YOUR CHOICE! Important themes on the podcasts and Tuesday Conference Calls on Education are: What does it mean to be a teacher/leader in our time in history? What role can education play as a vehicle for catalyzing development at the level of consciousness and culture both in and outside of a classroom? What does the expression of higher and deeper values and expressions of inclusiveness, meaning and purpose look like between teachers and students?

Introduction to Nick Drummond, leadership trainer and consultant for schools and educational institutions in Sweden.

Nick says that one of his goals is to rescue education from what Don Beck calls Egalitarian Collectivism, where every perspective is treated as equally valid and nobody’s truth or perspective is better than anyone else’s. When this happens, development stops.

Nick presents a simple model of human development to better understand the predicament faced by education in Sweden. He outlines four levels of human maturity (1. Egocentric, 2. Group/ethnocentric, 3. Worldcentric and 4. Kosmocentric) and explains that the Swedish culture prevents children and youth from actively developing up from egocentrism.
