I have had an interest in spirituality in the education beginning with young children for many years. I am currently writing my dissertation on this topic and have been examining a wonderful array of schools where awakening the spirituality in children is a core part of the school's mission. I am reading much on the subject and look forward to offering mainstream public education a collaborative model to consider.
About Me:
My dad asserted that I was a teacher all of my life. I grew to actually desire the vocation and I am so blessed for father's intuition. I taught nearly 20 years before I founded a charter school, where spirituality was the core mission of the school. I am a mother of five and a grandmother of three , thus far:) I am speculating that spirituality is key to understanding self and purpose. Without wisdom, our children will flounder needlessly. I am believing that we, as educators, will help bring to our classrooms resources or tools that will heal broken hearts and return broken wings to flight.

Hello Eemah Martha,

I am excited to be part of this network, I am looking forward to sharing and learning at the same time the evolution process of incorporating "spirituality" into the classrooms in our public, private and charter schools. I know that it is happening more and more, and I feel blessed to be part of your network.

HI Martha,
This is great for me, I am looking at introducing spiritual literacy into the public schools. We will be doing it in a couple of pilot sites to begin. I love that you connect spirituality with wisdom. I feel that our public schools are lacking in both spirituality and wisdom. I can't wait to learn from you!!

Welcome, Martha. Are you familiar with Robert Cole's work? Here are a couple of discussions posted referencing interviews with him on children and spirituality from Krista Tippet's radio show, Speaking of Faith. This one is on The Inner Lives of Children and this one is on The Spiritual Insight of Children.
