Spirituality and Education introduces the basic contours of current debate in a form accessible to both classroom teachers across the curriculum range, and to school managers. It covers all key areas, including:
* problems of defining spirituality
* government legislation and supporting documentation
* relevant empirical research
* the social dimension of spirituality
* secular and religious manifestations of spirituality in contemporary society
* theories of childhood spiritual development
* contemporary approaches to spiritual education, including collective worship and cross-curricular teaching.
A variety of different perspectives and approaches will be offered, and readers are encouraged to be reflective through a number of tasks which relate all issues raised directly back to their own specific circumstances. The author includes questions, quotes and lists of further reading.

Industry Reviews

"The book succeeds admirably in providing readers with an overview of the contemporary debate about spiritual education...This book is bound to stimulate vigorous argumetn among advocates and critics of the various schools of thought on spiritual education; but it also offers a constructive contribution that should serve well students from all sectors of the community...Atheists and religious fundamentalists, progressives and traditionalists, liberals and post-modernists...will all find something here to engage and also to provoke them...Wright offers an extremely valuable counter-culture and cerebral experience...It makes a major contribution ot the field and can be recommended without hesitation to all those interested in spirituality and education. John."-Sullivan
