Maps for Transformation

Sunday, January 26th, 2003, 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: David Pomatti

We know Bloom's taxonomy of thinking skills, Gardner's multiple intelligences, and Hofstede's dimensions of cultural variability as ways of focusing our teaching for Japanese students. Drawing on educational and transpersonal psychology, this talk will present additional, developmental ways to conceive the educational experience: Tadahiko Abiko's Shifting Interest Center, Ken Wilber's Four Quadrants, Robert Kegan's Orders of Consciousness, Jenny Wade's Changes of Mind, Spiral Dynamic's value-memes, and Tobin Hart's Education for the Evolution of Consciousness. These should help teachers in their course designing, educational research, and personal development.
