Free Schools??? That's the Spirit!

My new book, Free Schools??? That's the Spirit! is now with the publishers, with publication expected within the next month. Here's the finalised cover and blurb. If you feel that kids can sometimes be better teachers than the adults in their lives, what price traditional education? If you feel that a degree is no longer a passport to rewarding employment read about what advantages a person-centred approach to whole-life learning can offer. If you're surrounded by people disillusioned with present systems of learning how about approaching your local bookseller to arrange a booksigning!

Free Schools??? That's the Spirit! ISBN: 9781843868965

Vital personalised choices are at the heart of Free Schools???
initiatives. Christopher Gilmore and Susan his visionary colleague
and single mother of three, have developed a cutting-edge à la carte
curriculum complementary to most prevailing systems. After
successfully piloting ‘My Identity Audit’ in public and private schools,
they developed a rich range of innovative educational exercises.
This book teems with well-argued and refreshingly provocative
ideas appealing to all optimists who see life as our best teacher.


Consider those who leave education without qualifications only
subsequently to excel in the arts or business. Others with degrees stack
supermarket shelves – if they can get a job at all. Not an entirely new
approach yet woven throughout are radical insights inviting
adventurous breakthroughs…!



Christopher and Susan present scores of multi-dimensional
strategies to stimulate the love of learning in each spirited
individual, with an emphasis on wellbeing, peace and
sustainability. Th eir innovating team of experts now offers
training and courses under their rainbow umbrella of
INaSENSE Ltd (http://www.inasense.co.uk/).



By putting a happy heart before a hurting head, Free Schools??? places
students of all ages at the centre of all their learning choices. While
calling for fellow travellers, Christopher shows how independence of
Spirit guides us quicker to the goals we wish to achieve. So let’s feed all
of our unique gifts, he says, and daily uplift ourselves with the desire to
explore and ever improve our true inner Self (with a capital S!).
