The Tao of Teaching: The Special Meaning of the Tao Te Ching As Related to the Art and Pleasures - Softcover
Synopsis
The Tao of Teaching is of special interest for teachers but also for parents and others who are looking for a book of wisdom on how to deal with people, especially children, in a learning environment. Deriving its name from the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, The Tao of Teaching follows the structure of the classic book of wisdom in its eighty-one individual chapters, and includes a special introduction by the author that explains the practical usefulness of a book aimed especially at the education of our youth. Each chapter in The Tao of Teaching contains specific examples from the classrooms of three present-day teachers whose work the author feels provides a living example of Taoist wisdom and "student-centered, " progressive educational methods. It is a labor of love, containing many important insights by a talented and respected professional whose emphasis is on the students' contribution in a learning environment, whatever the context.

Review
"Each chapter offers teachers, administrators, and parents an opportunity for inspiration and an opportunity to reflect on one's work and mission in education. As with the Tao Te Ching itself, there is no recipe or step-by-step path to becoming a better teacher. Nagel implores us to embrace Taoism in the classroom, and in so doing, to 'respect lofty virtue, deep sincerity, a love of stillness, devotion to a worthy teacher, and wide learning.'"--Harvard Educational Review
"Nagel highlights fundamental verities whose rediscovery should encourage burdened teachers."--Publishers Weekly
