Module 17: Spiritualizing Pedagogy in Holistic Education
Module description:
In relation to a working definition of the process of holistic development this module looks at the nature of, and use of, the idea of ’spiritualizing pedagogy’ by the teacher, or other practitioner, so as to encourage learning, professional development and/or personal growth.
“The nature of one’s pedagogy is always a reflection of
one’s deepest epistemological convictions.”
