Become a Wisdom Teacher

Are you interested in being certified as a Wisdom Education Teacher?

• Do you feel that our educational system focuses too much on test scores?
• Do you feel that our educational system is too rigid and mechanistic, with little room for exploration & creativity?
• Are you looking for an alternative that addresses the whole person?

The Chicago Wisdom Project trains and certifies “Wisdom Teachers” to apply our educational principles in their own settings. Our next training will happen in the spring of 2013. Some highlights of the training include:

• By taking a deep philosophical look at education, we will explore the question of what it really means to be an educated person.
• Participants will learn our holistic pedagogy, including meditative practice, nature immersion, critical dialogue, and therapeutic work.
• We will explore and critique the dominant narratives of industrial civilization and learn how to empower youth to create counter-narratives.
• Participants will learn about and receive a copy of our curriculum, a radical approach to education that integrates mind, body, and soul, and includes nature retreats & rites of passage and creativity.

Our next training will take place in May of 2013 click here for more information.
