The Teachers
See also our
faculty page.
A good motto for the teachers of Living Wisdom Schools
would be: "Who you are speaks louder than what you say!"
In their presence, personal character leaves a more lasting
impression than verbal philosophy or lesson plans. The example
of human qualities that they set inspires the children to aspire
to nobility of character.
Our teachers are authentic, and the children sense
it immediately. The teachers express in their own lives the positive
attitudes, spiritual and moral values, and maturity that they
seek to develop in the children. They are actively committed to
their personal and spiritual development. They meditate regularly,
and practice the principles of emotional self-mastery that form
the foundation of our educational approach.
The teachers of Living Wisdom School are able to
see the unique gifts in each child and to celebrate them in a
hundred ways in the course of the school day--by encouragement,
positive affirmation, challenge and support, celebration and joy.
They understand that fine teaching is an art and a science, driven
by inspiration, not coercion. They focus on the positive, not
the negative - on solutions, not problems. Creativity and spontaneity
as well as discipline and structure infuse their pedagogy. They,
themselves, are life-long learners.
