Combining scientific research with personal accounts collected from his thirty years of teaching, The Living Classroom examines the subtle influences that radiate invisibly around teachers as they work, revealing the natural connective tissue of consciousness. While these synchronistic connections are often overlooked by traditional academics, Bache demonstrates that they occur too frequently and are too pointed to be dismissed as mere coincidences.
Drawing upon Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic fields, Bache proposes that well-taught courses generate learning fields around them, forms of collective consciousness that can trigger new insights and startling personal transformations in our students. Going beyond theory, The Living Classroom is filled with moving student stories and practical strategies for teachers who want to take their teaching to a higher level.
