School Vision

This small book, 40+ pages, is the first title in the “Brief Montessori Introductions” created for busy parents and other educators. Being aware of the meaning of the concepts “Cosmic Education” and “Cosmic Task” is essential in understanding authentic Montessori practice, at home and in school. It is sometimes overlooked, and begins at birth. Susan Mayclin Stephenson tackles a large subject, cosmic education, which Montessori defined as a “unifying global and universal view of the past, present and future.” Stephenson takes the reader from birth to the end of the elementary...

The children froze in terror as beings unlike anything human stared into their souls and poured images of ecological ruin, burning forests, poisoned oceans, and dying cities into their young minds. Three decades later, the witnesses still ...

In the years after A Nation at Risk, conservatives' ideas to reform America's lagging education system gained much traction. Key items like school choice and rigorous academic standards drew bipartisan support and were put into practice across the country. Today, these gains are in retreat, ceding ground to progressive nostrums that do little to boost the skills and knowledge of young people. Far from being discouraged, however, conservatives should seize the moment to refresh their vision of quality K-12 education for today's America.

Some books resist categories the way wind resists capture. They are not simply memoir, nor merely prophecy, nor entirely allegory. They move like rivers through many lands—part remembrance, part revelation, part whispered prayer. Poetry drips from their edges; lament rises like incense; and the presence of the Lord hovers between the lines. These pages are not constructed—they are birthed. They spill from a soul caught between earth and heaven, where vision and memory intertwine, where what is felt, seen, and spoken blur into one seamless offering. Such writing is not confined to genre....

Once upon a time a guy showed up at my high school. He was new in town and kind of a nerd, but a cute nerd. He was also funny. And rich. The rich part made him instantly popular.

Turns out he wasn't. I agreed to go on one date, thinking it wouldn't go anywhere. But then it did. That’s how our story began. How it ended… is not at all what I expected.
