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?
