And, conversely, how the point biases of their students affect how they learn and interact with authority. In such a dynamic, all students and teachers fit, and feel part of rather than alienated from the learning process. The Enneagram system gives people insight into themselves as well as others. In that sense it leads us out of the grooves of unsatisfactory practices we have built with our habitual patterns of thoughts and emotions. Even more than that as educators, once we begin to see others as they see themselves, it gives us the knowledge and tools to help students take charge of their own learning, education and personality.
Education is about people.
How to touch the essence of another person, how best to potentiate them into a full awakening of their abilities. It is synonymously tied to the Enneagram system of personality types. We have embarked on an outreach program to bring to educators' attention the availability of Enneagram Edge technology for professional development purposes. You can help with this outreach by talking about the Enneagram system at your institution or professional group. Regina Pyle and Joan Ryan will assist you wherever possible with information and materials.
