Anasazi Featured in Arizona Republic
Anasazi was featured in the Arizona
Republic on September 8th. The article pointed out that for the group,
"Life is reduced to the very basics.... The program is based on the
Native American concept that life is 'walking,' and that people move
forward when they make the right choices and backwards on the wrong
ones. But its up to the walkers to make the choices." One parent of
a graduate said, "What I like most about the program is that Anasazi
doesn't attempt to force change. They just let him change within himself.
Anytime you force someone to do something, you will have conflict."
The Journal of Humanistic Education
and Development
Barbara Bratter, Thomas Bratter,
Rebecca Fiske and Kenneth Steiner have written an article, "The Effective
Education Professional: Politician, Psychologist, Philosopher, Professor,
and Parent" which has been published in the September issue of The Journal
of Humanistic Education and Development. The article describes the myriad
of roles a teacher at The John Dewey Academy assumes in order to be
responsive to the academic-psycho-social needs of students. This has
implications for all teachers who wish to become more effective. Copies
can be obtained by writing to John Dewey Academy, 389 Main St., Great
Barrington, MA 01230 or calling (413) 528-9800.
