Forward-Facing® for Educators

A Journey to Professional Resilience and Compassion Restoration

By: Cheryl Fuller, M.Ed.,Rebecca Leimkuehler, M.Ed.,J. Eric Gentry, Ph.D.

The evidence is undeniable: Educators are some of the hardest-working and underappreciated professionals on earth, a truth highlighted by the epidemic proportions of compassion fatigue and burnout occurring across the field. There’s no doubt that educators are purpose-driven, passionate helpers of children, families, and their communities, but with a never-ending list of responsibilities and reductions in many school resources year after year, the suffering and stress involved are fast outweighing the resilience reserves of so many. With Forward-Facing® for Educators: A Journey to Professional Resilience and Compassion Restoration, it doesn’t have to be that way. Co-written by long-time educators Cheryl Fuller and Rebecca Leimkuehler alongside trauma expert and Forward-Facing® Institute founder Dr. J. Eric Gentry, this book teaches and validates the distinct challenges of being an educator today, while putting the power of personal healing and restoration firmly back in your hands—where it belongs. Envision each school day characterized by physical and mental comfort no matter what happens, as you work and live in accordance with your values and goals, and enjoy social connections and self-care practices that nourish, support, and give you a deep sense of peace and fulfillment. These are the five skills offered by the Forward-Facing® process for professional resilience, and they have the potency to transform every facet of your career in education, personal journey, and mission to help children beginning today.

Critical Reflection, Spirituality and Professional Practice

By: Cheryl Hunt

This book explores the concept and facilitation of critical reflection and its implications for professional practice. It draws on the author’s own extensive experience to demonstrate how reflective processes involving metaphor and imagery, as well as critique, can be used not only to understand and articulate key values underpinning professional practice and to generate new theoretical models, but to explore one's own worldview, including the ultimate question: 'Who am I?’. The author incorporates practical examples of reflection-through-writing and other reflective techniques which illustrate how ideas about critical reflection, transformative learning, authenticity and spirituality are intricately entwined within theories and practices of adult learning and professional development. The book highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between personal worldviews, values and professional practice. It draws on the concepts of vocation and professional psychological wellbeing to consider what it means to act authentically as a professional within an audit culture. The book will be invaluable for practitioners, academics and students interested in critical reflection, educational inquiry, autoethnography and the use of the self in and as research, the nature and use of metaphor, and the development of worldviews.

Civil War Time

Temporality and Identity in America, 1861-1865

By: Cheryl A. Wells

In antebellum America, both North and South emerged as modernizing, capitalist societies. Work bells, clock towers, and personal timepieces increasingly instilled discipline on one’s day, which already was ordered by religious custom and nature’s rhythms. The Civil War changed that, argues Cheryl A. Wells. Overriding antebellum schedules, war played havoc with people’s perception and use of time. For those closest to the fighting, the war’s effect on time included disrupted patterns of sleep, extended hours of work, conflated hours of leisure, indefinite prison sentences, challenges to the gender order, and desecration of the Sabbath. Wells calls this phenomenon “battle time.” To create a modern war machine military officers tried to graft the antebellum authority of the clock onto the actual and mental terrain of the Civil War. However, as Wells’s coverage of the Manassas and Gettysburg battles shows, military engagements followed their own logic, often without regard for the discipline imposed by clocks. Wells also looks at how battle time’s effects spilled over into periods of inaction, and she covers not only the experiences of soldiers but also those of nurses, prisoners of war, slaves, and civilians. After the war, women returned, essentially, to an antebellum temporal world, says Wells. Elsewhere, however, postwar temporalities were complicated as freedmen and planters, and workers and industrialists renegotiated terms of labor within parameters set by the clock and nature. A crucial juncture on America’s path to an ordered relationship to time, the Civil War had an acute effect on the nation’s progress toward a modernity marked by multiple, interpenetrating times largely based on the clock.
