IFSEL’s Educator Practice: Engage with Nature encourages educators and students to look for moments of connection with nature, opening us up to the emotion: AWE. Dacher Kelther from UC Berkeley is one of the experts on awe and has written a fascinating book about it. As Prof. Claude M. Steele, Lucie Stern Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University, notes, these often tumultuous times, including “clickbait media” and “our own habits of mind” highlight and emphasize the “negative and threatening in life.” Steele calls this book “a counter force,” and we think that educators will appreciate a chance to engage with it’s uplifting, accessible and well researched stories and science. “It’s a guide to how to see and experience the wonder that is always all around us. It balances consciousness. It has been a long time since I’ve read anything as inspiring. I’d say race to read it. You won’t be disappointed.” — Prof. Claude M. Steele
