Partnership Education in Action
Featuring Riane Eisler
Do politically expedient proposals for more testing prepare children for the challenges of the 21st century? What is the role of schools in a time when the mass media are children's most frequent teachers? In Tomorrow's Children, based on her groundbreaking book of the same name, Riane Eisler offers a practical blueprint for transforming how we educate our children -- and ourselves.
Through Partnership Education we can break the cycle of global violence that imperils the world. This video will help us move toward a more equitable, sustainable and hopeful future. For everyone who cares about young people: from politicians and school officials to teachers, parents and students themselves.
This richly illustrated video features an in-depth interview with Riane Eisler and includes partnership educator Sarah Pirtle and teachers and students from Nova High, a 30 year-old Seattle alternative public high school that has piloted partnership education.
