e-mail test

To the parents in the studio:
I have put you on an e-mail list so that you will be notified when I put up a new post.
Please let me know if you get it and read this message. You could reply with a comment to this blog, or through e-mail.

I am off to Atlanta to play with Brian in the concert, and will be teaching a lot as well. I wish all of you could meet the students in Atlanta!

Also, I am going to Orange County for a workshop with the Japanese teachers in February. There will be a Friendship concert and lessons for students. If anyone is interested in going for a lesson, or to be in the concert please let me know. The deadline for video submission is the beginning of December.

Speaking of videos, I want everyone to bring their discs for recording lessons each week as I can really tell a difference in the students progress when people use them. If you have your own video camera, you can use it instead and put it on my tri-pod if that is easier for you.
thanks,
Leah Brammer

Core Education Principles

1. Life Ability
Core Education develops life ability- the ability to live life optimally.

2. Natural Learning
Core Education utilizes and preserves natural learning, which is direct learning from the environment.

3. Whole Learning
Children learn through absorption of the total environment rather than part by part. This is sometimes called ”right-brain learning” Whole learning is a better way to describe this absorption as it involves both the right brain (learning through the senses/intuition and left brain (analytical) types of learning working together.

4. Ability Development
Pattern recognition and the forming of relationships between these patterns can be developed through repetition for optimum learning. This then includes physical ability, mental/memory, emotional balance and spiritual development as well. This is the balancing concept of whole learning and involves understanding of learning in relationship to sequencing and the development of ability through the acquisition of foundation skills

5. Integral Learning
Core learning involves recognition and support for the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of development in combination with mental/cognitive learning to form life abilities.

6. The core focus principle of nurturing:
This principle is that the most fundamental aspect in a child’s learning must always be addressed rather than focusing on the content of what is being learned. It is finding the core aspect of the process that will produce the easiest and quickest way to learn. It is closely connected to Ability Development.

7. Positive affirmation
Core education involves affirmation as a critical component of feedback for the child. Using verbal acknowledgment of that which is correct will accelerate learning. It is not a judgment such as good or bad, but is a positive statement of fact to the child about how they are learning.

Through understanding and applying these principles teachers and parents can recreate the concept of education from the learning of facts to the development of ability.
