As I mentioned in class here is a link to an inspirational education philosopher Nel Noddings. I particularly love her work on promoting children's life long happiness through our schools. What does it mean to be happy and how does school contribute to our quality of life?
Bio:
Nel Noddings (1929- ) has made a significant contribution to our appreciation of education. In particular her explorations of the ethics of care - and their relationship to schooling, welfare, and to learning and teaching within families and local communities came at a especially apposite moment. She has been able to demonstrate the significance of caring and relationship both as an educational goal, and as a fundamental aspect of education
