Join us Sunday, June 14 for 'A Conversation with Teacher and Film Director Laurie Gabriel' -  Laurie is the Writer/Director/Filmmaker of 'HEAL OUR SCHOOLS; HEAR OUR TEACHERS' a documentary film about the real issues hurting our public schools and what real teachers have to offer as real answers and solutions. Laurie will talk about her new teacher-produced documentary and how to put control back into the hands of the people who know the students - the teachers who are the experts.

'Heal Our Schools; Hear Our Teachers' was produced with the mission of uncovering and solving the real problems of public education in America. This venture is different from other education documentaries in that it fully explores the experience and expertise of our most overlooked resource: teachers. Through this platform, educators from all over the country can share their compelling (and strikingly similar) stories and solutions. 'Heal Our Schools; Hear Our Teachers' is an enlightening look into what's really going on behind school doors, as well as a collection of virtually cost-free answers to the education crisis--answers that are based on teachers' caring compassion for the children they serve.

Recent reforms, penned by politicians and policymakers who often have little-to-no classroom experience, have been addressing the same surface issues (testing, teacher evaluation, vouchers, etc.) instead of the real problems: herding of children by subject and by age; daunting bureaucratic paperwork; our society's lack of adult role models who exemplify compassion, honesty, patience, and commitment; parents who do not support the schools; and the reduction of meaningful teacher/student relationships to overcrowded buildings and faceless statistics. Until these truths are acknowledged and addressed, no other reform plan will work.

The teaching profession is currently being maligned by a number of politicians and other persons in the media spotlight, leading to a dangerous plan to replace teachers without finding out what's really keeping them from effectively helping their students. Instead of seeing a turnaround in student achievement, we'll only see a repeat of the same setbacks with the next batch of teachers (if we're able to attract new teachers at all). It's time to set the record straight.

A review of the film:

Documentary aims to 'bring back trust of teachers'

By DEBBIE KELLEY, The Gazette - May 30, 2015

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Teaching a herd of sheep to move in one direction at the same time works. Similarly, teaching a herd of children to read a book, solve math problems and other lessons doesn't.

That's one of the messages conveyed in a new documentary a former Colorado Springs public school teacher created, directed and produced.

"Heal Our Schools" "illuminates the problems federal and corporate takeover have created in our schools and provides teacher-generated solutions." It will debut with screenings in Colorado Springs this weekend and June 13.

Laurie Gabriel, who taught music, drama, choir and orchestra for 27 years in public schools in Colorado, most recently in Colorado Springs School District 11, spent four years and a chunk of money creating the film.

She traveled the country talking to teachers, education policy analysts, authors and other education experts.

"It's getting more and more important that the general public understands what's going on in education, that kids and teachers are being left out, as profit-driven corporations have taken over testing," she said.

Her goal: "To bring back trust of teachers. We've been painted sometimes as not knowing what's best for the kids. We do, and we can work together with parents for the benefit of the kids."

Teachers, Gabriel said, are being left out of the decision-making processes in education to the point that "the silence of the teachers is deafening."

Teachers are being blamed for students not performing well on standardized tests, she said, and in many cases are being threatened with losing their jobs for speaking out against the system.

"I watched the profession deteriorate bit by bit, and it seemed like we teachers were helpless to do anything," Gabriel said. "I heard the same stories in the teachers' lounge and on Facebook and instead of swallowing it, I decided to tell the story."

Along with teachers and students talking about today's classroom environment and impediments to learning, the film includes commentary by high-profile personalities. Those include former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education Diane Ravitch; Jonathan Kozol, an award-winning author on public education; and author and co-founder of an institute to minimize school violence Nancy Carlsson-Paige. She's the mother of actor Matt Damon, who puts in an appearance in the documentary.

Merril Boruchin Spielman, a reading specialist who lives in Manitou Springs, is one of the film's featured teachers. She volunteers to teach students in Southeast Asia and is a substitute teacher in Colorado Springs School District 11.

"I am afraid for our public school system and the dangers that are happening," Boruchin Spielman said. "Ask the teachers what isn't working and how to improve that.

"Whenever there's a problem, we blame and judge rather than look at the solution," she said.

Gabriel said the main problem with today's public education system is that teachers no longer have control of how and what to teach. She advocates localizing and individualizing education. Smaller class sizes, curriculum that includes the arts and humanities, less emphasis on high-stakes testing and more emphasis on promoting individual students' gifts are some of the ideas she puts forth in her documentary.

Boruchin Spielman said the herd mentality of teaching has resulted in classrooms having mixed levels of proficiency, with kids entering kindergarten having anywhere from fourth-grade reading levels to no reading skills.

"What do we do when we have a kindergartner who has to learn how to sit in a chair first before they learn alphabetizing, and we have to treat them all the same," she said. "We're seeing the stress this is putting on teachers and the students, and we're losing our passion."

The film highlights two teacher-led schools, one in Boulder and one in St. Paul, Minn., where students are grouped by academic abilities rather than age and teachers tailor learning to nurture each child's talents and interests.

"It was a heart-breaking decision for me to leave public school teaching," Gabriel said. "If teachers stood together it would be a lot easier for us to stand up for our kids. We need a unified voice saying the way it is isn't right for our kids."

DONALD JEFFRIES was inspired by a diverse and ecclectic group of authors like Charles Dickens, Madeline L'Engle, Edward Eager, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Bram Stoker, Charles Fort and Ambrose Bierce. The Unreals was published in 2007 and has been compared to the television shows The Twilight Zone and X-Files, as well as the classic fairy tales The Wizard of Oz and Alice In Wonderland. 

Jeffries has spent many years researching the assassination of John F. Kennedy and other significant historical and political events. Various conspiracies and unexplained, fortean-style phenomena play a strong role in his writing.

ABOUT Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics by Donald Jeffries...

The US government has spent half the time covering up conspiracies as it has spent helping the American people. In Hidden History, you will see the amount of effort over the past fifty years that our government has dedicated to lying and covering up the truth to the world.

Starting with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Don Jeffries chronicles a wide variety of issues that have plagued our country’s history. Whether it’s the assassinations of MLK and RFK, Iran-Contra, the Oklahoma City bombing, TWA Flight 800, voting fraud, or 9/11, every major disaster or war that we’ve witnessed has somehow been distorted by those who are supposed to be protecting us.

Jeffries also delves into extensive research on the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., and you’ll be shocked by what he finds out.

So whether you’ve only heard bits and pieces of these stories or have read several books on the topics, Hidden History is the book that belongs in every conspiracy theorist’s library, as the information included in this encyclopedia has never been collected together in any other published work available. So sit down, strap in, and get ready to be shocked and awed by how much has been hidden from you by our government over the past fifty years.

This week on 'The War Report On Public Education' - VIVA LA RESISTANCE:  Dr. Jesse Turner and his friends on the meaning/message of walking to Washington, D.C.  The resistance to the privatization of education is alive, well and growing, and the resistance is coming to D.C. this summer 2015. We will NOT let our schools be ruined, our teachers demoralized, our children preyed upon and our democracy destroyed. WE WILL RESIST!!!!

Jesse ‘The Walking Man’ Turner is walking from Connecticut to Washington, D.C. this summer to protest the education malpractice that is demoralizing parents, teachers, and turning our children into human capital. He will start walking in June, time it to reach Washington DC for the BAT's National Congress July, (400 miles in 40 days) and will hold ‘Walking Man’ Events along the way in people's homes, libraries, coffee shops, churches, and on street corners, to gather evidence from parents, students, and teachers.

 People ask why walk?

1. Dr. Jesse Turner is a Professor of Literacy and has a PhD in Language, Reading, and Culture. He states “Everything I know professionally informs me what is happening to our children in the name of education reform is child abuse”.

2. Because Moses walked, because the Cherokee walked, because the Navajo walked, because Martin Luther King walked, and because Cesar Chavez walked. Walking may just be the most potent weapon human beings have against oppression.

Will you join Jesse in his historic walk? Tune in this Sunday, June 7 and find out how you can be part of the resistance.

dr. michael ryce is the founder and director of HeartLand, a self-healing center in the Ozark mountains. He is a world renowned lecturer and teacher on health and healing, with doctorates in Naturopathic Medicine and in Holistic Philosophy. The focus of his studies has combined bodymind principles, physics and ancient Aramaic studies into a unique body of pioneering work in the fields of self-healing, healing through relationships, anger and grief resolution, world peace and the inner process of Forgiveness.

Again?!, is an international best seller.

In 2001 dr. ryce was appointed director of the Khabouris Manuscript foundation and is currently editing translation work from the Manuscript and writing a new book based on the Khabouris, "The End Of Suffering, Resurrecting The Original Aramaic Y'Shua".

The Khabouris (also spelled Khaburis) Codex is a copy of the oldest known Eastern Canon of the New Testament in its native, and the original language of the Scriptures, Aramaic. The physical manuscript has been carbon-dated at approximately 1000 AD plus or minus 50 years. The colophon bears the seal and signature of the Bishop at the Church at Nineveh, then capital of the Assyrian Empire located today in the present-day Iraqi city of Mosul.

A dynamic speaker, he is much sought after for his skill in teaching the practical application of “self-help” tools. His work has been exposed, through private workshops and seminars and television and radio work, to approximately 500,000 people in the last thirty five years. michael has made a commitment to make the tools he has developed available to every mind on the planet and, as a result, his travel workshops are free so everyone, regardless of the ability to pay, will have access to the tools presented. Anyone with health, financial, career, or relationship problems can begin to turn their situations around immediately when they use the tools dr. ryce offers.

Garnet Schulhauser is a retired lawyer who lives near Victoria, on Vancouver Island, with his wife, Cathy, and little dog, Abby. He grew up on a small farm in Saskatchewan and moved to Calgary, Canada, after law school where he practiced corporate law for over thirty years with two blue-chip law firms. After retiring from his law firm in 2008, he began his new career as an author and his first book, Dancing on a Stamp, was published in 2012. Since the release of his first book, Garnet has been active with book signing tours and speaking engagements and has been a frequent guest on radio talk shows. When he is not writing or connecting with his followers, Garnet enjoys golfing, nature walks in the forest with Abby, and family gatherings with his sons, Blake and Colin, and their partners, Lauren and Bergis, and granddaughter Kymera.

In Dancing on a Stamp, Garnet recounts how his life changed dramatically one day in 2007 (while still practicing law) when he was confronted on the street by a homeless man named Albert (who was actually a wise spirit in disguise—an emissary from the spirit world). This seemingly chance encounter launched a provocative dialogue with Albert who disclosed startling new truths about all of life’s big questions, including our true nature as eternal souls, the cycle of reincarnation on Earth, and how we create our own reality through free-will choices. He wrote Dancing on a Stamp at Albert’s request so that these revelations would be available to everyone.

Garnet’s second book, Dancing Forever with Spirit, describes his most recent adventures with Albert who appeared in his bedroom room one night to guide him on a series of out-of-body adventures to explore the wonders of the Universe, including the Akashic Records, distant planets with fascinating life forms, and a human civilization that made the shift to the New Earth. Albert’s goal was to encourage humans to stop their abuse of Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants by casting aside their negative emotions and in favor of love and compassion.

It has been quite a ride! Ever since I met my spirit guide, Albert, disguised as a homeless man, that fateful day in 2007, my life has never been the same. I went from being a buttoned-down, straight-laced corporate lawyer to an author who has published four books (including this one) about my dialogue and subsequent astral travels with Albert. 

Once I decided to come out of the spiritual closet there was no turning back, and I have no regrets whatsoever. I have lost a few friends along the way (some of whom likely think I am suffering from an early onset of dementia), but I have gained many new friends who have encouraged me to continue writing about the revelations from Albert and the other wise souls I have met during my travels.

This book is a sequel to my first three books, Dancing on a Stamp, Dancing Forever with Spirit, and Dance of Heavenly Bliss, as it chronicles my most recent astral adventures with Albert. As with the first three books, Albert had a carefully-planned agenda all mapped out—designed to teach me (and all of humankind) a lesson or to provide us with a nugget of wisdom to help us understand who we are and why we are having a human journey on this planet.

Former rock musician Sacha is founder of the New Earth Project, the planetary sovereignty, consciousness and sustainability movement convening itself as the worlds first extraterritorial nation of peoples from all cultures & faiths. New Earth nationals are living men and women (not their corporate fiction personas) who choose to step out of invisible contracts with corporate nation states and into a new covenant of fellowship amongst all of humankind, via a declaration of sovereignty (and entering into treaty thereby with New Earth Nation as constituted micro-nations). The supranational movement exists under its own cognisance, as its own court of record and is backed up by its own law commission and the International Tribunal for Natural Justice. The New Earth Project is launching a zero-point economy and has recently launched Zero Point Time (ZPT) as a unified time signature. 

Sacha Stone established Humanitad as a non sectarian organisation serving as architect and facilitator of global initiatives impacting sustainability, natural justice and social ecology. It is a focus platform for experts in economics, media, education, science & technology, research & advocacy, arts & culture and diplomacy & conflict-resolution. It's law commission has been active on the world stage in human rights and natural justice. Humanitad has increasingly transferred its brain-trust activities into the New Earth Nation Institute which now incubates medical cures and technological breakthroughs whilst challenging the status quo where it serves vested interests ahead of the interests of humanity and a fragile planet. As a non-profit organisation, Humanitad continues to function in the service of people of the world beyond the constraints of 'systems' and 'ideologies' devised by men and institutions which seek power and wealth as the measure by which all else follows.

Whilst being radically outspoken against the centralisation of power and of multilateral institutional manipulation, in order to enter the multilateral arena and attempt to engage with the mechanics of centralised power, Sacha Stone produced the MDG Awards ceremony on the floor of the General Assembly at the United Nations in 2009. It was at this event where Archbishop Desmond Tutu propounded the word Ubuntu, which is fast becoming a major pattern for international socio-ecological reform. 

Accepting the role of Director-General for the UN-IGO (IREO) Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Organisation in 2010 for the period of one year, Stone founded and launched the Exemplar-Zero Initiative, to safe-harbour and develop breakthrough sustainable technologies and solutions and investigate sustainable economics modelling. None of these endeavours were 'United Nations' activities, rather they were initialised by Stone and Humanitad in order to address foundational failings within the architecture of the multilateral arena.

Sacha chairs the annual Global Breakthrough Energy Movement panels of scientists and innovators - a pioneering movement which is leading the world toward a free-energy revolution.

His socio-political writings  and 'State of the World' reports serve as a harsh critique on the disease of globalisation and covert elitism (the architecture of fear and control). 

At the same time he emphasises the need for a conscious return (via a total collapse of the collective human conceptual framework) back into the true 'zero-point' contained within the quanta of the (collective) human heart - in order for us to qualify and participate fully in the next great step in our human and planetary evolution. The New Earth Nation now emerges as a coherent living manifestation of that unified planetary vision.

"If we are to manifest so-called ‘ ustainability' and foster a much vaunted energy & socio-ecological revolution in our times, we must acknowledge that participatory 'consciousness' is the chief factor. Technology and consciousness are intimately connected and it is time for us to engage that conversation without fear of scorn from a world still largely trapped in linear logic and the limitations of a conditioned mind. The fear-reflexive, entropic and scarcity-based model of civilisation has lived its day - brought us to the brink of annihilation. It is time to spread our wings - stop asking for permission - and reclaim our dignity and sovereign birthright from rogue governments and institutions whose very existence is premised on our suffering, our fear and our ignorance.
