A think tank established for the creation of “closed, holistic systems.”
'Charting the Course' Closed, Holistic System Education Proposal
Below are highlights from the list of suggested reports the Holistic Solutions Think Tank will issue and undertake, in order to produce supporting documentation for its 'Charting the Course' education proposal.
If you are interested in viewing the full list of suggested reports, please contact the think tank's Director:
1. A compilation of evidence regarding what is whole brain thinking, or interhemispheric thinking. To include, as well, original reports issued and undertaken by the think tank. (These reports are not to be biased toward left- or right-brain thinking.)
2. An in-depth review of the use of Enneagram as an aid to the understanding of physics, including the suggestion that physics become a part of, or a, foundational course, of the sciences, as well as a more advanced course. For the advanced study groups, physics would hopefully be taught as either applied or theoretical physics, students being able to opt for either, and already at the high school level, with the capacity for students to continue on to the college level.
3. A report about new training for holistic math teachers, which builds from a study of interhemispheric brain use, and by way of it, attainment, for eighth grade boys, gifted in math, to advanced mathematics at a younger age. This report will also build from the international, cutting edge field of vedic math.
4. Evolutionary systems design, a definition of systems theory, is referred to in the 'Charting the Course' education proposal as that which could be the basis for a universally taught elective. This version of systems theory is also outlined and described in the book, The New Village: Finding Holistic Solutions, with reference to the article, "Systems theories: Their origins, foundations, and development," by Alexander Laszlo and Stanley Krippner. An original report will be produced, by the think tank, that will describe, in detail, the purpose and intent of teaching, “Evolutionary systems design,” at the high school level, and again, at the beginning of a student's college experience.
5. Cost analysis of having teachers, with the aid of only guidance counselors, produce Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for each student, versus the cost in the old system, which involved a greater number of professionals contributing to a singular IEP.
6. An original report analyzing the worth and potential of using universal IEPs, as described in the 'Charting the Course' education proposal, as a means for college entrance or acceptance, versus standardized testing.
