Beschreibung

"At a time when school systems have completely lost focus on what really matters, John Hunter reminds us what we should be teaching our children. His ideas will help anyone who has the courage to understand that a real education must go beyond filling in circles on a standardized test form." -- Rafe Esquith, author of Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire Can playing a game lead to world peace? If it's John Hunter's World Peace Game, it just might. In Hunter's classroom, students take on the roles of presidents, tribal leaders, diplomats, and military commanders. Through battles and negotiations, standoffs and summits, they strive to resolve a sequence of many-layered, interconnected scenarios, from nuclear proliferation to tribal warfare. Now, Hunter shares inspiring stories from over thirty years of teaching the World Peace Game, revealing the principles of successful collaboration that people of any age can apply. He offers not only a forward-thinking report from the frontlines of American education, but also a generous blueprint for a world that bends toward cooperation rather than conflict. In this deeply hopeful book, a visionary educator shows us what the future of education can be. "Inspired, breath-of-fresh-air reading." -- Kirkus Reviews "With numerous reflections on the game's impact on certain students and a resounding final chapter highlighting his class's 2012 visit to the Pentagon, Hunter proves the value of 'slow teaching' in this important, fascinating, highly readable resource for educators and parents alike." -- Booklist

Über den Autor

John Hunter grew up in regional Australia, where an uncluttered lifestyle nurtured his curiosity about the natural world. His fascination with how things work led him to the University of Melbourne, where he studied under some of the country's most distinguished scientists - exceptional educators who were also pioneers in their fields. He graduated with honors in Physics and later earned a degree in Engineering, equipping him with a deep understanding of astrophysics, mechanics, and beyond.
But John's intellectual journey didn't stop there. His lifelong pursuit of knowledge extended into the realms of philosophy, driven by a desire to explore not just the mechanics of the universe but the fundamental principles that govern existence. After years of researching the work of others, he felt compelled to make his own contribution. The result is Rules for Eternity-a thought-provoking exploration of the principles that shape our world and beyond.
