“Illuminating wisdom in schools; new insights from Iranian teachers’ perspectives.” Gifted and Talented International
Join us to discuss educating gifted students for wisdom as highlighted in the article that we will be looking at.
From the abstract:
“…teachers themselves should be wisdom role models, wisdom role models should be introduced to students, authentic Iranian stories should be narrated, events should be shown to students from different perspectives, and students should be asked to research social problems and identify wise/ unwise people. More research is needed in this field to assess the views of teachers in different environments and societies and then develop an educational approach to improving wisdom.”
What does teaching for wisdom look like in our context?
The article will be sent to you prior to the session so that you have a chance to consider it before the discussion.
Facilitator: Kathy Harrison
The chapter will be sent to you nearer the date.
