How do you teach for wisdom? One of the goals is for learners to learn
to see and understand the point of view of others. It is important for your
learners to balance one’s own needs with the needs of other people and also that
of the world or the environment. It is developing your learners to consistently
act based on positive ethical values. You teach for wisdom when you are able
to move your students to:
1. try to find a common good
2. see things from others’ points of view
3. balance your own interests with those of others and of institutions.
4. look at the long term as well as the short term
5. reflect about how one can base his every decision on positive ethical
values
6. appreciate that in life what is seen as true and effective may vary over
time and place
