Mrs
Flatow was a teacher for more than ten years in the arts field
in Canada and has a master degree in distance learning from
the Quebec university, she is also a doctor of positive
psychology from the American Graduate university of Positive
psychology.
Mrs
Flatow has a holistic approach, Holistic
education
aims
at
helping
students
be
the
most
that
they
can
be.
Abraham
Maslow referred
to
this
as
“self-actualization”.
Education
with
a
holistic
perspective
is
concerned
with
the
development
of
every
person’s
intellectual,
emotional,
social,
physical,
artistic,
creative
and
spiritual
potentials.
It
seeks
to
engage
students
in
the
teaching/learning
process
and
encourages
personal
and
collective
responsibility.
With
Positive psychology, by
building
on
historical
educational
principles
and
by
taking advantage
of the best
of Positive
Psychology, strengths-based
education could drive
a transformation
of the American
system of colleges
and universities.
Imagine an
educational system that
develops the
individual strengths
of our young
people so they
may realize
their personal
potential and
fulfill a loftier
goal — that
of creating a
thriving community
of civically responsible
and productive
members; it
may very well
be attainable.
Involved
in distance learning for ten years and in education for 28 years, the
author has always sought ways to make education innovative, with the
goal of improving student success. Following a reading of the book
Les Intelligences Multiples by Howard Gardner, she noted that empathy
and intuition were important components of distance learning, as well
as of education in general. Her new book presents her reflections
on intuition, empathy, and multiple intelligences.
