The Power of the Whole
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-7366-5 (ISBN)
This is a book about ourselves, and our world, but it is also a book about, and for education. Education is undergoing constant scrutiny – as it should. But what makes, or made, an education successful is too often left behind in the shadows when we focus too closely on what we think should be in the spotlight. It is the author’s belief that we are entering a period of time when re-looking at how these things interact and intersect will be pertinent to their and our success.
Sean Slade is a global education leader with three decades of experience across five countries and four continents. He is a frequent speaker, author, and opinion writer on the purpose of education, its progress, and its social impact. He currently resides in the Washington DC area.
