The Deep Teaching Process
(c) 2009 Jackie Alan Giuliano, Ph.D. All Rights Reserved
During my doctoral work, I developed a process for teaching environmental studies that is based on active engagement and participation with the world around us.
In particular, the importance of recognizing our intimate connection to the natural world is stressed as an effective tool to learn about humans' role in the environment. Understanding our place in the natural world may be a pivotal awareness that must be developed if we are to heal the many wounds we are experiencing today.
The deep teaching process is an approach to teaching that is based on critical thinking, problem solving, and nonlinear, non-patriarchal approaches to thinking, reasoning, and learning. With these tools, a learner is challenged to think and to understand diverse cultural, social, and intellectual perspectives and to perceive the natural world as an intimate and integral part of our lives.
This Deep Teaching Process is drawn from many elements including deep ecology, ecofeminism, despairwork, spiritual ecology, bioregionalism, critical thinking, movement therapy, and my own teaching experience with learners of all ages.

Creating a Compassionate Child
An abridged version of this article first appeared in THE NEW TIMES magazine, September 2001.
Since the dawn of time, children have intuitively known that we are all a dynamic part of nature, participants in a wonderful web of life, not masters over it. They accept everything, talk to animals, and can find hours of fascination by staring at air.
Yet soon after being exposed to the elements of our culture and starting school, many modern children begin to develop callousness toward nature, losing the ability to feel connected to the natural world. What can we as parents do to keep the compassion alive in our children?

Workforce Literacy - Speed Reading as an outcome of learning how to read right
published by the Center for Lifelong Learning, Seattle, WA
Increasingly, employers are finding that the ability to write clearly, concisely and correctly among their workforce is becoming a rarer and rarer skill. And nearly everyone
in the workplace is frustrated at how slowly they read and how little they remember. As we become tied to our desks more and more and overloaded with information from
the Internet, the need for writing skills support and a faster way to read has become more apparent for entry level hires
and executives alike.
