    Principles

    Principles of
    Transformative
    Education
    The first 5 Principles listed are core Principles of
    Transformative Education. The following 7
    Principles below them are more specific elements
    that are essential to the concepts of
    Transformative Education as it is practiced
    pedagogically. Together these 12 Principles of
    Transformative Education are intended to help
    define a system of education that “transforms”
    older, obsolete models of human learning to create
    a sustainable, diverse, conscientious global citizen
    with the ability to problem-solve complex issues for
    a better more equitable and viable world.

    Like that world itself, the Principles of


    Transformative Education is a “living” document
    open to change and adaptability based on
    improved and expanding knowledge and the
    emerging skill sets most critical to a thriving,
    harmonious, sustainable world.

    Principle 1: Human Rights


    Transformative Education shall promote and
    support the Universal Declaration of Human
    Rights, to reinforce the full development of the
    human personality and the strengthening of
    respect for human rights and fundamental
    freedoms. A Transformative Education
    acknowledges the right of all people, from all
    nations, all races, all ages, and economic
    standing–in particular for girls and women in all
    nations, to access a Transformative Education
    equal to that of men.

    Principle 2: Sustainability
    Transformative Education shall promote and
    support the practice of sustainable development,
    meshing economic growth, respect and protection
    for the environment with social equity and well-
    being. Humans are entitled to a healthy and
    productive life in harmony with nature.

    Principle 3: The
    Importance of Value
    Systems: Morality, Ethics
    and Spirit
    Transformative Education shall embrace the
    values, ethics, morality and spirit that have stood
    the test of time worldwide because these values
    recognize and honor the interconnectedness of all
    life. Transformative Education shall lead to a more
    conscientious global citizen with an emphasis on
    empathy and compassion and with the
    understanding that science, technology,
    engineering and mathematics, * without the
    underlying values of planet and human
    sustainability, is devoid of meaning.

    Principle 4: Diversity
    Transformative Education shall promote the values
    of diversity, welcome cultural differences and
    recognize heterogeneity as a gift of strength and
    adaptability and the critical concept in developing
    any viable solutions for sustainability, in a diverse
    and complex world.

    Principle 5: Economic and


    Social Justice/Equity
    Transformative Education shall inform, promote
    and support the special situations and needs of
    developing countries, particularly the least
    developed and those most environmentally
    vulnerable, as a special priority. Transformative
    education should also address the interests and
    needs of all countries, including developed
    countries where poverty and racial and economic
    inequities still exist, and thereby contribute to the
    prevention and reduction of economic global
    inequality.

    Principle 6: Peace
    Education and Conflict
    Resolution
    Transformative Education shall promote and teach
    the tools of peaceful conflict resolution, including
    alternative dispute resolution, which is defined as
    any process or collection of processes established
    to resolve disputes without trial or violence.

    Principle 7: Holistic
    Education
    Transformative Education shall be holistic and aim
    at education of the whole person – mind, body and
    animating spirit, including their emotional, social,
    and physical development as well as valued,
    multiple divergent and creative/artistic intelligences
    important to problem-solving in a complex world.

    Principle 8: Community-
    Based Learning and
    Indigenous Wisdom
    Transformative Education shall be community-
    based and take local needs into account as well as
    value indigenous wisdom and their contexts while
    promoting service learning, including an ability to
    identify community needs and the skills to address
    them.

    Principle 9:
    Simulation/Experiential
    Learning
    Transformative Education shall encourage and
    promote the use of simulation and experiential
    learning programs such as Model United Nations,
    Model Governments and Model Corporations to
    build dynamism, active complex problem-solving,
    emotional, social and cultural intelligences and
    other core elements of human capacity.

    Principle 10: Incorporating


    New Brain Neuroscience
    and Skills of Critical
    Thinking
    Transformative Education shall support the
    inclusion, application and integration of recent
    educational neuroscience findings, including
    integrative neurophysiology and pedagogical
    learning theory on how the integrated brain actually
    learns best. Transformative Education shall
    promote and incorporate transformative,
    pedagogical practices that develop whole brain,
    critical thinking/feeling abilities and capacities.

    Principle 11: Use of


    Technology for Greater
    Connection not Alienation*
    Transformative Education shall utilize technology
    in a manner that does not impede but enhances
    the education of children and enables
    Transformative Education, which cannot be
    delivered in any other manner. Note that science,
    technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
    are heavily promoted in U.S. policy. TEF-US would
    like to instead promote necessary exploration of
    arts, values, ethics, morality and sustainability that
    would underline any such STEM focus, include
    more of the Principles above and thus transform
    that focus to “STEM+“.

    Principle 12: Sanctity of


    Human Learning and Life
    The learning environment shall be sacred, trust in
    the wisdom of imagination, teach the wonder and
    potential of every human child, the interrelationship
    of life and that we can no longer afford to live with
    privileged disregard of this planet, all its diverse
    and valuable species and each other.
