The Tao of Teaching by Greta Nagel is a compilation of three classroom teachers’ stories and how they provide examples of Taoist wisdom and “student-centered” progressive educational methods. The Tao of Teaching is a great tool for both the educator and parent; the examples of how to integrate Taoism with teaching and everyday dealings with children are enlightening.
I am an elementary school educator and I found The Tao of Teaching invaluable in the classroom. Each chapter is titled as one of the eighty-one teachings of Tao and follows with an example from the classroom of how the teacher incorporated the teaching into everyday classroom situations. I gained a lot of knowledge on how to be mindful throughout the teaching day and seize moments as teachable life experiences for both myself and my students.
I would read this book while on recess, during quiet lunch breaks, after school let out, or at home curled up on the couch with my favorite cup of hot tea. For this reason The Tao of Teaching has made it to my Tea Drinking Readers category!
