Immense challenges now face the global community. How can educators
train the next generation of students to deal with the vast array of
issues awaiting them in every sector of society? Written as a testimony
to three decades of experimentation with these challenges in mind, Hong
Kong International School humanities teacher Dr. Marty Schmidt draws
upon the universal Wisdom tradition to propose pedagogical frameworks
that combine what he calls the yang of social conscience with the yin of
inner awakening. This yin-yang approach forms the basis of the The
Wisdom Way of Teaching, which describes in curricular detail how to
cultivate the whole person development of students.
