An interdisciplinary Focus in the Department of Curriculum,
Teaching and Learning
The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University
of Toronto
Holistic and aesthetic education recognizes the
interconnectedness of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Learning is viewed
as an experiential, organic process; making connections is seen as central
to curriculum processes. An aesthetic perspective and the process of building
knowledge through inquiry are seen as integral to all forms of education
and life itself. Creative tools and webs of communication are explored
within this context. Courses in this program focus on arts education, creativity,
contemplation, imagery, literature, mathematics and technology, and experience-based
approaches to language.
Completed Masters and Doctoral Thesis Topics Have
Included:
narrative study of educators who practice meditation; reflections
on choreography and ethnicity; the educational and artistic role of the
gallery curator; a curriculum performance art; a sculptor's journey of
enlightenment; peer teaching; tools for knowledge building communities;
elements of linkage in drama implementation; visual metaphors; the native
voice of northern Ontario literature; the reflexive novel; metaphor as
a second language; the teacher's use of film; art therapy in a clinical
setting; a poetics of the heart; creativity and feminine consciousness;
poetry and the school classroom; experiencing and understanding a computer-based
music curriculum; the actor as teacher; art appreciation and the deaf student;
guided journal writing; implicit theories of creativity

Holistic
Learning: Breaking New Ground
ASCD Holistic Education Network
What is Holistic Education?
Holistic Education is based on the principle of interconnectedness.
Thus it seeks to develop approaches to teaching and learning that foster
connections
between subjects, between learners through various forms of community.
Holistic Education also seeks a dynamic balance in the learning
situation between such elements as content and process, learning and assessment,
and analytic and creative thinking. Finally, Holistic Education is inclusive
in terms of including a broad range of students and a variety of learning
approaches to meet their diverse learning needs.
The Holistic Education Network
This network was founded in 1990 by John Palladino and attempts
to foster communication and networking among educators interested in Holistic
Education. The network publishes a newsletter The Holistic Educator
twice a year for its members. The network also conducts sessions at the
ASCD annual conference. Some sessions explore ideas and themes related
to Holistic Education and other sessions allow for interaction and discussion
amongst its members as well as others interested in Holistic Education.
Network Facilitator
The current facilitator is John (Jack) Miller. Jack is author
of several works in Holistic Education including The Holistic Curriculum,
Holistic
Learning, and The Holistic Teacher and teaches in the Department
of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies
in Education, University of Toronto. He is also Coordinator of a graduate
focus in Holistic and Aesthetic Education at OISE/UT.
