Our Partners
Thank you Southern Oregon University for hosting the Holistic Education Review and all of the resources you provide that make this journal possible.
The Transformative Learning Foundation is a leading facilitator for wisdom in education, awakening potential for the evolution of our consciousness. Since the beginning of compulsory education, the definition of what learning looks like has become increasingly narrow with each passing decade. In the past 20 years, there has been greater emphasis on compliance, following the prescribed curriculum, direct instruction, and standardized testing.
Antioch University’s MA in Individualized Studies, Social Sciences is proud to offer a concentration in Transformative Learning Communities, in partnership with the Transformative Learning Foundation.
The TIES M.Ed roots date back to the 1990’S when Philip Snow Gang founded the Global Alliance for Education. The seminal document, Education 2000: A Holistic Perspective became the principles on which The TIES program was organized.
The Center for Holistic Education is located in the Education Department of Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR.
