Synopsis

The Point of Contact in Teaching, by Patterson Du Bois, explores innovative methods in education, drawing inspiration from diverse philosophical and religious traditions. Du Bois examines the concept of finding a 'point of contact' with students, referencing figures such as Froebel, Pestalozzi, Confucius, and Buddha. He delves into the practical application of these principles in various educational settings, from Sunday-school to broader philosophical discussions. This insightful work encourages educators to connect with students on a deeper, more meaningful level, fostering a richer learning experience. Du Bois integrates biblical references, like the Twenty-third Psalm and the Book of Genesis, alongside Zoroastrian and Confucian thought, creating a comprehensive approach to teaching. This book offers timeless wisdom for educators seeking to inspire and engage their students effectively.
