The academic study of death rose to prominence during the 1960s. Courses on some aspect of death and dying can now be found at most institutions of higher learning. These courses tend to stress the psycho-social aspects of grief and bereavement, however, ignoring the religious elements inherent to the subject. This collection is the first to address the teaching of courses on death and dying from a religious-studies perspective.

The death of a student, especially to gun violence, is a life-changing experience that occurs with more and more frequency in America’s schools. For each of these tragedies, there is a classroom and there is a teacher. Yet student death is often a forbidden subject, removed from teacher education and professional development classes where the curriculum is focused instead on learning about standards, lesson plans, and pedagogy. What can and should teachers do when the unbearable happens? An Empty Seat in Class illuminates the tragedy of student death and suggests ways of dealing and healing within the classroom community. This book weaves the story of the author’s very personal experience of a student’s fatal shooting with short pieces by other educators who have worked through equally terrible events and also includes contributions from counselors, therapists, and school principals. Through accumulated wisdom, educators are given the means and the resources to find their own path to healing their students, their communities, and themselves. “A dreadful script had been written for our school and town (and the world) but this did not mean that a new script could not be written by us. We didn’t have to subscribe to the tragic script beyond our control. It was time to rewrite.” —Lee Keylock, high school teacher, Sandy Hook, CT “This book is a meditation on the unspeakable horror and ensuing anguish that follows the death of a student. A heretofore taboo subject, teachers have much to share about their creative, improvisational praxes when shared cultural scripts in urban classrooms are unavailable. This moving and poignant text illuminates as much as it inspires. —Angela Valenzuela, Professor of Education, University of Texas, Director of the Texas Center for Education Policy “Written by the most important kind of expert, someone who has been there, Dr. Ayers candidly discusses his own struggles following the violent death of one of his students. This book serves as an invaluable guide, providing research and practical tools on how to respond to a student death and facilitate a safe space in the classroom where students can ask questions, express emotions, and process their grief. This is a must-read for every teacher, administrator, and counselor so that a school is well prepared in the event of a tragedy.” —Heidi Horsley, executive director, Open to Hope Foundation, adjunct professor, Columbia University School of Social Work “For those who teach, this book will likely evoke painful memories of loss and unrealized potential that accompanies the tragedy of any student's death. Classrooms and communities are worlds of their own, where saving one life or inspiring someone in even the most minute or momentary way can mean saving a whole world. Ayers's book honors the lives of both teachers and students. It is a book for all of us.” —Jack Weinstein, director, San Francisco Bay Area, Facing History and Ourselves

''Some would argue that the teacher''s job is to teach, and that hasn''t changed. What has expanded is the teacher''s role (and, often, by default, increasing responsibility) to meet students in the events we call life. This helpful resource addresses many themes, including: the physical processes which occur during and after death, reasons for illness, sudden death, or suicide, what actually happens to the dead body, what happens at funerals. There are strategies for speaking and listening, insights into the words and questions, and what is behind them, from children, and staying aware of their own needs and issues.'' - Resources Hotline (The World Pastoral Centre)''This is an interesting book that, if used creatively, can provide teachers with useful information about death either as general knowledge or for lesson preparation. It certainly contains a range of death-related information in a form that it would be hard to find elsewhere.''- International Journal of Children''s Spirituality''Impressively focused, but full of useful information. It adds to the literature on teaching about death in interesting ways, because it is so direct and clear in its approach to the topic.''- Morality''This book goes a long way to addressing these anxieties by offering a clear and accessible introduction to the subject with basic information about the facts of death, funerals and bereavement (including how children grieve and how they might be helped to grieve). In addition to the authors'' openness and willingness to "practise what they preach" - by bringing in their own experiences and real-life stories where appropriate - encourages the reader to engage more directly with the subject matter: to consider how their own stories about death and bereavement might influence how they talk about it.''- After Life - Reports from the frontline of death''This book seeks to support teachers of children from age 8 upwards in this sensitive and not always easy task. Of the ten chapters, nine concentrate on providing the reader with factual information pertaining to different aspects of death and dying, to be used as a handy reference guide. The authors run through arguments for discussing death as an ordinary life event, examine medical and biological definitions of death, consider the process of dying from cancer and AIDS, death by accident and suicide, the death penalty, look at what happens to the body after death, explain the functions of people involved with a death and summarise funeral rites and traditions in the main religions, before listing basic psychological models of the grief process in children.Written in a simplified style that according to a chapter-by-chapter age guide in the introduction, could be accessed directly by the children themselves, this book is recommended for teachers looking for reassurement, factual support and creative ideas for integrating death education into the classroom.''- The Compassionate Friends Newsletter''The authors have produced an extremely useful book providing teachers with ways of facilitating discussion about death.Teachers are increasingly called upon to explain death and dying - September 11th being a good example, when children were subjected to distressing scenes on television on a daily basis. Many children began to ask teachers questions about death and dying that were causing them anxiety.The authors also offer useful strategies for talking about death in the context of different school lessons with guidance given on page 7 about the suitability of the material for each age group.The final chapter, Death across the curriculum, discusses how death can be bought into the curriculum simply and sensibly.A very interesting read, and one that all teachers should find useful.''- The TeacherTeachers are increasingly called upon to discuss and explain death and dying to children in the classroom. This book provides them with methods to facilitate open discussions of death and to find suitable ways of talking with children about what happens when someone they know dies. It explores some of the most sensitive questions surrounding death such as:* the physical processes which occur during and after death* reasons for illness, sudden death or suicide* what actually happens to the dead body* what happens at funerals.The authors also offer useful strategies for talking about death in the context of different school lessons, in order to prepare pupils of all ages. The final chapter on grief and mourning demonstrates how to give newly bereaved children the support they need.This handbook combines factual information with strategies for teachers to use when discussing death with children. Readable and practical, it will be invaluable for teachers required to broach this sensitive issue within the school environment.

Death is often encountered in English courses—Hamlet’s death, celebrity death, death from the terrorist attacks on 9/11—but students rarely have the opportunity to write about their own experiences with death. In Death Education in the Writing Classroom, Jeffrey Berman shows how college students can write safely about dying, death, and bereavement. The book is based on an undergraduate course on love and loss that Berman taught at the University at Albany in 2008. Part 1, “Diaries,” is organized around Berman’s diary entries written immediately after each class. These entries provide a week-by-week glimpse of class discussions, highlighting his students’ writings and their developing bonds with classmates and teacher. Part 2, "Breakthroughs," focuses on several students’ important educational and psychological discoveries in their understanding of love and loss. The student writings touch on many aspects of death education, including disenfranchised grief. The book explores how students write about not only mourning and loss but also depression, cutting, and abortion—topics that occupy the ambiguous border of death-in-life. Death Education in the Writing Classroom is the first book to demonstrate how love and loss can be taught in a college writing class—and the first to describe the week-by-week changes in students’ cognitive and affective responses to death. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to writing teachers, students, clinicians, and bereavement counselors.

In Death in the Classroom, Jeffrey Berman writes about Love and Loss, the course that he designed and taught two years after his wife's death, in which he explored with his students the literature of bereavement. Berman, building on his previous courses that emphasized self-disclosing writing, shows how his students wrote about their own experiences with love and loss, how their writing affected classmates and teacher alike, and how writing about death can lead to educational and psychological breakthroughs. In an age in which eighty percent of Americans die not in their homes but in institutions, and in which, consequently, the living are separated from the dying, Death in the Classroom reveals how reading, writing, and speaking about death can play a vital role in a student's education.

"Death is said to be Western society's last taboo. Teachers often shy away from discussing death within their classrooms, and few schools integrate teaching about death into the curriculum. Yet schools have a significant contribution to make to a pupil's successful adjustment to loss." "Illuminated by fascinating transcriptions of interviews with children of different ages, which reveal their perceptions of death and reactions to loss, this book will reassure teachers that, just as there is no 'right way' to grieve, every individual will express grief differently."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
