“…What can I do for you?" Actually, what is expressed by Augustine (2014) is in line with that of Miller and Athan (2007). According to these two experts, in order to be a teacher who is able to educate based on spirituality, an individual has to start with developing spiritual awareness and experience of the preservice teachers, so that s/he will be able to practice the experience later in his/her profession.…”

The welfare of a nation is determined by the quality of its education. The quality of education is in turn determined by the quality of teachers, and the quality of teachers by the values that guide them in performing their profession. Teachers who perform their profession based on values are best performing teachers. The question is what spiritual values guide them in fulfilling their job as a teacher? This is the main question in describing the values that become the foundation, guidelines, and motivation for teachers in performing their profession; the values that are apparent in daily life behaviors as the educational principles that become the authentic character of the teachers. To meet this goal, narrative inquiry method was employed to analyze the thoughts, feelings, and ideas of best performing teachers from the story, history or activities they recount. In order to answer the main question of this research, 24 best performing teachers from various levels of education from West Java and other provinces were gathered. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the researcher that plays the role of research instrument. Then, the data were transcribed so that each respondent has his or her own "narration". After getting coded and numbered, the sentences were processed with monocorn version 1.3 to find the frequency of keywords that will narrow down to certain themes potential to be the research findings. The findings were then analyzed, compared, and contrasted to tendencies as conclusions strengthened with discussion from theoretical perspectives.

“…After the dramatization, I was not sure how to interpret the sensation in my arms; along with the majority of students in Miller and Athan's (2007) article, "perhaps [I] had misread the situation; it was likely a fluke; 'just a coincidence'" (p. 25). Chickering, Dalton and Stamm (2005) reason that my hesitation to reflect on this experience comes from my roots in an education system that ignores inner development and rather teaches that reality exists outside of the self (Palmer, 1993).…”

“…Working exclusively from an Indigenous pedagogy, Wolf (2012) sought wisdom and empathy from her pre-service teachers rather than facts and knowledge through the historical research project. From my engagement in this "critical, respectful and inclusive pedagogy" (p. 40), I learned how to see with more than the mind to follow my own path (Miller & Athan, 2007). Other Indigenous researchers have connected to spiritual pedagogy such as Battiste andHenderson's (2009) learning journey andCajete's (2000) finding face.…”

“…The wig became my hair; the nun was attempting to take away my spirit. When I opened myself to this vulnerability (Chickering et al, 2005) and discomfort (McCain, Ylimaki, & Ford, 2010), according to Wolf's (2012) intent to disrupt the dominant narrative, I allowed truth to find me (Miller & Athan, 2007;Palmer, 1993). Truth emerged as the importance of my spirit in Indigenous education, despite my non-Indigenous status.…”

Through the lens of a student, this Note from the Field responds to a historical research project which engages pre-service teachers in critical citizenship and social imagination. Looking inward facilitates a personal learning experience of identity that is applied to learning in the 21st century. When 21st century pre-service teacher education looks inward rather than forward and outward, we learn to live in the 21st century rather than envision it.

“…The similar spiritual awareness of caring and love was addressed in a graduate course of psychology through the sharing of lived experiences to show that the reflections shared by students and teachers facilitate spiritual experience (Miller & Athan, 2007). Consequently, the classroom atmosphere encourages contemplation and support in which failure transformed into opportunity (p. 32).…”

The paper analyzes a religion-based college's spiritual education through Buddhist sutra adaptation (BSA) experiences to explore the students' perceptions of good, filial piety, and environmental ethics, as well as their behavioral modifications, accordingly. The BSA is an artistic presentation of singing and signing in the Tzu Chi Missions for moral reflection on desire, anger, and ignorance. The participating students are interviewed and observed for their after-school participation of BSA experiences, and in the context of humanities course performance. This paper intends to highlight a special form of moral education through BSA experiences.
