This paper briefly outlines the author's thoughts on what is humanistic education. By observing various curricula and projects purporting to be humanistic, the author describes three types of approaches: a) humanistic content curricula, or, courses dealing with specific areas of human concern; b) humanistic process curricula, or, learning skills related to chosen life's work; and c) humanistic school structures, or, curricula emphasizing alternatives to traditional teacher-directed schoolrooms. Also, student control of curriculum, student felt concerns, life skills, self-evaluation, and teacher as facilitator are mentioned and detailed as five goals for humanistic curricula. (JB)
