Le Petit Prince: chapitre 21
"si tu m'apprivoises, ma vie sera comme ensoleillée"

Sunrunner - Melanie Rawn Wiki
"Sunrunners are the impartial mediators of the Continent and the quickest form of communication. They communicate with each other all over the world, keeping families in contact, Princes and Lords aware of political happenings, and performing ceremonies - such as Namings, Choosings, or Burnings - as needed. Sunrunners are forbidden to participate in battle lest it is to save their own lives, to take sides in a debate, and most importantly they are forbidden to use their gifts to kill. Faradhi oaths also include a vow of silence to ensure the trust of Sunrunner messengers. These limitations enable the rest of the Continent to accept and even welcome Sunrunners to their courts and into their lives."

Education Philosophy Inventory RESULTS
"Education Philosophy Inventory RESULTS
EPI Score Sheet: Below, the numbers you circled for each statement (1-36) recorded and totalled under appropriate perspective. The highest total indicates your educational philosophy.
Essentialism
Essentialism was a response to progressivism. It advocates a conservative philosophic perspective. The emphasis is on intellectual and moral standards that should be transmitted by schools. The core of the curriculum should be essential knowledge and skills. Schooling should be practical and not influence social policy. It is a 'back to basics' movement, which emphasizes facts. Students should be taught discipline, hard work, and respect for authority. Influential essentialists: William Bagley, H.G. Rickover, Arthur Bestor, William Bennett; E.D. Hirsch's Cultural Literacy could fit this category.
Total: 13 (Sum of Questions: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 31)
Behaviorism
Behaviorists deny free will and maintain that behavior is the result of external forces, which cause humans to behave in predictable ways. Behaviorism is linked with empiricism, which stresses scientific experiment and observation. Behaviorists are skeptical about metaphysical claims. Behaviorists look for laws governing human behavior the way natural scientists look for empirical laws governing natural events. The role of the teacher is to identify behavioral goals and establish a reward system to achieve goals. Influential behaviorists: B.F. Skinner, Ivan Pavlov, J.B. Watson, Benjamin Bloom.
Total: 14 (Sum of Questions: 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32)
Progressivism
Progressivism focuses more on the child than the subject matter. The students' interests and personal growth are important. Learners should be active and learn to solve problems by reflecting upon their experience. The school should help students develop democratic personal and social values. Because society is always changing, new ideas are important to make the future better than the past. Influential progressives: John Dewey, William Kilpatrick, Francis Parker.

One of the best ways to function as ally or coach is to role--play the enemy in a supportive setting. For example, one can give practice tests where the grade doesn't count, or give feedback on papers which the student can revise before they count for credit. This gets us out of the typically counterproductive situation where much of our commentary on papers and exams is really justification for the grade---or is seen that way. Our attempt to help is experienced by students as a slap on the wrist by an adversary for what they have done wrong. No wonder students so often fail to heed or learn from our commentary. But when we comment on practice tests or revisable papers we are not saying "Here's why you got this grade." We are saying, "Here's how you can get a better grade." - Peter Elbow in Embracing Contraries
