The Power & Promise of Humane Education
Inspiring young people to live humane values is among the most important work you can do to build a better world.
Unprecedented global challenges require novel approaches. Old methods of education don’t help us address pressing issues, such as environmental decline, human rights violations and cruelty to animals. Popular culture often makes things worse by glorifying celebrity, violence and greed. How can you help young people better themselves and the world?
There is a way to make real change happen.
You can help the next generation decrease suffering, oppression and destruction and create positive change for a kind, just, sustainable world.
In The Power and Promise of Humane Education, learn how to engage young people to explore social justice, environmental ethics, animal protection and more. Get the keys to unlock each young person’s potential – and your own -- to be a force for good and to help lead us to a better future:
- Reverence, respect, and responsibility for the earth and its inhabitants, inspiring the young people you touch to make better choices.
- Accurate information, so they’ll make more conscious decisions that advance the world they – and you - want to see.
- Curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking that reveal different perspectives and new solutions.
- Positive choices that provide a path for action and that engender energy and hope.
“[The Power and Promise of Humane Education lays] out a practical guide for accessing complex issues in a manner that is thought-provoking, emotionally uplifting and joyous. There is no school anywhere in the world that could not adopt at least some portion of the approaches articulated in this book and gift them to students who are, after all, the foundation of a humane future.”
--Dr. Michael Tobias, President, Dancing Star Foundation
Students are usually eager to learn more about what’s happening around them and how they can have impact. The Power and Promise of Humane Education shows you all that humane education has to offer them and the world.

“Practical, down-home and easy to read, a gold mine of information and, above all, inspirational. All educators and activists should read this book very carefully and share it widely. It is that good!”
--Dr. Marc Bekoff, co-author with Jane Goodall of The Ten Trusts, and author of The Emotional Lives of Animals.
