Why we need this approach now

“This is a new way of thinking about how everyone learns and thrives. It really makes sense.” — A. S. educator

Even the most expert educators share concerns about how to meet the needs of students today.

Parents and educators recognize that our children live in challenging times and must learn to navigate a fast-changing world as they move into adulthood. We want to help our youth tap their full potential to learn, develop their gifts — and lead contributive lives. The question is how.

Ellen Tadd’s Framework for Wise Education® provides a unique and needed solution

A Framework for Wise Education® is based on author and teacher Ellen Tadd’s observations of the human energy system, or chakra system, and its role in healthy human development

"Through my own examination of the chakra system and forty years of working with students and clients of all ages, I have observed a structure that can help us simplify our understanding of the course of human development —and aid us in creating an educational strategy that supports and endorses the maturation of the whole child.”

— Ellen Tadd

Tadd’s holistic system for raising and educating children includes principles, tools, and strategies and enhances the teaching of any subject.

Applying this Framework helps you cultivate your own wisdom and well-being—and support your children and students:

  • Relieve anxiety and depression

  • Develop focus and concentration

  • Make wise, caring decisions

  • Value themselves and be curious

  • Cultivate emotional stability

  • Skillfully collaborate

  • Build discipline and responsibility

  • Become more resilient

  • Strive for excellence

These essential skills help young people succeed in school, develop positive relationships, tackle challenges, and share their unique gifts.

A Framework for Wise Education® can be integrated into any educational setting or curriculum.

  • “If we can help children know who they deeply are, understand their interconnectedness with others and the natural world, and with that knowledge, build a creative, fulfilling life — well, that would be gob-smacking wonderful. In my mind, there is nothing more important than this.”
