Part II: Cogito, Ergo Sum

There is doing, but no doer.
There is walking, but no walker.
There is only the deed to be done;
there is only the path to walk on.

The Visuddhi-Magga

What does it mean to say that someone teaches well? Could we identify good teaching if we saw it? What about real learning? These are the sorts of questions we will address in this second part of the project where we look at what a truly authentically engaged teacher who is actively practicing the three features presented in Part I can accomplish in his, her, or their school.  First, we will examine what successful teaching looks like (Chapter 4).  Then we will study the properties of genuine learning (Chapter 5), and finally, we will explore what it might take to get these two things actually happening in our educational institutions (Chapter 6).
