Learning with Aloha
Aloha is a Hawaiian word that means love--brotherly and sisterly love and respect. It connotes positive feelings and more importantly, actions such as helping one another. Aloha feelings and behaviours increase academic achievement, social relations, and self-confidence.
Learning with Aloha is a highly productive educational model that can and should be used throughout the United States and in other countries to increase academic achievement as well as social and personal growth. Author and educator Keith Beery thoroughly explains the cross-age learning process, why it works, and gives tangible, real-world examples and exercises to help those teaching at all levels utilize these strategies on behalf of students, teachers, and administrators alike.
Keith Beery earned his doctorate in child development and clinical psychology at Purdue University. His primary professional focus has been on the creation of educational environments that are supportive and growth-promoting for all of the children and the adults who serve them in public schools.
