Synopsis

The philosophy of Daoism has been a valuable source for ideas about how we can connect with nature for physical and spiritual wellbeing, healing, and many daily activities. But . . . did the ancient Daoists also tell us how to teach aligned with nature?

The answer is, yes, they did.

The Daoist text, Daodejing, describes a unique approach to educating that is based on nature’s way to see and understand our world. Written in a simple format, complete with educational theory and sample lessons, The Dao of Teaching adapts the practices to today’s classrooms to show how a regular lesson can easily be changed to a lesson aligned with nature. It includes:

  • what nature (dao) learning is
  • the Daoist teaching practices
  • nature lesson designs
This is an essential handbook for teachers and parents who want to bring the benefits of nature to the activities and lives of children.
