Towards an Understanding of Wholistic Education™

Wholistic Education^™ is rooted in the original definition of the word education derived from the Latin word “educere” < e- out + ducere, to lead, draw, bring out, to denote the process of education as a process of bringing out knowledge which is already inside of the learner. This is in direct conflict with the traditional concept of education.  Wholistic Education^™ is a framework based on applying critical thinking skills to problem solving and decision making in every domain of learning to affect a positive change on individuals, communities, and the world. This framework is visually represented with one triangle (a pyramid) and three interconnected circles. These symbols, and the principles underlying each, can be applied to any situation where thinking is required and render a desirable outcome.  This triangle is called The Magic Triangle^™. It is called this because it contains the three core building blocks (3CB’s) for Wholistic Education^™.
