PonderEd has started classes with curriculums on Wisdom Building Education. You can find the details from the following link. In brief, you can find it below. The curriculum is about half down. the-lessons-of-life.ca/en/images/PDFs/PonderEd_Curriculum_EN.pdf Overall procedure of the wisdom building education Level 1: First level is designed to guide students to think outside of the box. By exploring different ways to the topics that people face every day, students will be able to widen their thinking skill and develop their brain power. There could be also a personalized education sessions (counseling) for the students who have immediate concerns to their everyday life. The solutions discussed during these sessions will be temporary solutions. However, it will reduce struggling matters to certain level. The individualized sessions are by appointment. Level 2: In this level, students will learn how to find answers from observation, understanding, and presentation of natural phenomenon. From this level, students will be able to project human life based on understanding of nature. For example, understanding of characteristics of light and the way of human eye detects light, students will be able to understand some individuals’ unusual mental status such as schizophrenia. Throughout level 2, students will be able to find their true “I’ and through the true “I”, students are getting ready to find what they want to do and prepare to move forward. Level 3: In level 3, class materials are reduced. However, students will have to start finding their own topics to discuss during the class. This is the beginning of students’ future projects. For example, if you are planning to open a business, you can bring the similar topics related to yours and start building new project. If you are a health care professional (e.g. doctor or pharmacist), you can build your own strategies on patients’ education. In other words, students are practically building their own future from this level. Level 4: Students should start their own carriers as planed in Level 3. While students carry out their projects and plans, students will bring the challenges that happen along the way. The class would be individualized and case by case. After this level, students would make choice. They can go on their own way or move together with PonderEd Education. Going together with PonderEd can be discussed as time comes. The Wisdom Building Education starts from finding one’s own self through level 1 and 2. Finding oneself is very important and is the key to happy and free life. Only by this, students can build their true life. Some students ask for shortcuts. In Wisdom Building Education, there is no shortcuts at all. However, there will be several acceleration periods. Once students have built enough potentials, it will accelerate to the next lever in very short time.
