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?

Field accelerated development: Creating a field where individuals have immediate access to healthy levels in the Spiral and choose to express them. Joan Berland (part 3)

We don’t have to wait until everyone in the group reaches second tier or beyond before accelerated development becomes possible.
In part three I talk to Joan Berland about one of the first times I used the model “It’s your choice” with a group of twelve year old students who were all centred in Red. I discovered that we don’t have to wait before taking responsibility for the choices we are making. Even kids in Red can identify the choosing faculty and be motivated to choose a vertical dimension almost immediately .
I discovered that even someone centred in Red can see themselves as being fully responsible for choosing the field of consciousness that is being created and shared in the group, and that they are already fully awake – at a very fundamental level – to the quality of the choices being made. My job is to bring awareness to the choices they are making, and motivate them into wanting to make positive choices, choices that lead to vertical development. When this happens a developmental field of awareness is created. Everyone in the group has access to it and is coming from a vertical perspective – a perspective that Green normally has great difficulty in seeing – and the atmosphere in the group just keeps developing and deepening each and every moment
For most Swedish teachers, centred in Green, all we really care about is having the atmosphere in the classroom either become or remain safe, secure and comfortable. So in effect Green is also consciously choosing to create a field of consciousness where there is no expectation of vertical development, or any kind of positive evolutionary tension or change, build into the fabric of our relationships. It becomes a moral issue because if we don’t care about vertical development then we really don’t care about Life.
