The End of the Rainbow is available in ebook and hard cover. It is
written for adults who are teaching children (and adults) whether at home or in
a school setting that educating for happiness (and not money) would transform
schools and learning.
The End of the Rainbow shows what the author, Susan Engel, believes
schools should look like, with core goals such as: developing conversational
habits and discourse skills, identifying students interests and gifts and allow
them to pursue it. She also recognizes that reading and math skills are
necessary.
The six chapters
included are:
Ø
The
Money Trail
Ø
How
Money Improvises Education
Ø
Rich or
Poor, It’s Good to Have Money
Ø
How
Happiness Enriches Schools
Ø
A Blueprint
for Well-Being
Ø
What We
Should Measure
The End of the Rainbow is relevant as it redefines how we think of
and measure success. It will help jump-start changes in the future of American education.
Written in a semi-readable
manner (not an across the kitchen table conversational style, this is more advanced
educational style), it is a thought-provoking call for parents and educators to
consider. This is a book that needs to be read slowly while you evaluate the
ideas presented.
