We at IHE are very excited to announce that in Fall 2011, not only will we resume our M.Ed. in Humane Education, but we'll also be offering an M.A., an M.Ed. in Instructional Leadership, with a concentration in Humane Education, and a graduate certificate in humane education -- the only programs of their kind in the U.S.What have our students and graduates said about our M.Ed. in Humane Education? Here are a couple examples:
"What I love about the Master of Education in Humane Education is that it not only teaches human rights, environmental ethics, and animal protection as an interconnected discipline, but it also allows the student to learn how to successfully educate others about the most pressing issues of our time. When I remember to apply all four elements of humane education, I find that I am a much better communicator, and people tend to be more open to embracing new information and making positive choices." ~ Gina Diamond, M.Ed. graduate and founder of Green Diamond Consulting
"From the moment I enrolled in the affiliated M.Ed. program, I knew that humane education would be my life's work. The program motivated, inspired, and prepared me to run a full-time humane education organization that now reaches thousands of young people every year with a message of compassion. IHE's program has given me what some people spend a lifetime searching for." ~Dani Dennenberg, M.Ed. graduate and founder, Seeds for Change Humane Education
"Going into the program, I assumed my major insights would come from learning the issues. I did learn a lot about the issues, but my greatest and most unexpected insights came in learning about my own life. Through my studies at IHE, I realized I was unwittingly contributing to many of the problems I wanted to solve. As a result I began making different choices; ones that reflected the values I felt were important. The support I received from IHE staff and fellow students was crucial. They helped guide me as I sought to make better choices in my life; they helped me make sense of the issues; and, they showed me by example what it meant to try to live a humane life." ~ Bob Schwalb, M.Ed. graduate and humane educator for HEART (Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers)
"Being in the M.Ed program has been transformative. It has at times been a roller coaster ride, alternating between deep sadness at the enormity of suffering in so many places and elation that there are so many in the world working for a better life for us all. Most importantly, this program has continually challenged me to adopt and model behavior that helps rather than hurts, nourishes rather than depletes, and loves rather than destroys." ~ Lynne Westmoreland, M.Ed. student
