Educating for Completeness: How Now Shall We Educate?

What happens when educators ignore the moral aspects of education? What are the effects of educating with an eye on the limitations of the past rather than the opportunities of the future?In his latest book, Educating for Completeness, Dr. Reggies Wenyika answers these and other important questions and challenges facing educators today. "Educating for Completeness is deeply personal to me. It was born out of years of observing, reflecting, and experiencing both the power and the pitfalls of education. I've seen what happens when people are highly educated, sometimes brilliantly so, but emotionally, morally, or spiritually underdeveloped. Education must be more than academic achievement. Education should shape who we are, not just what we know. It should clarify purpose, deepen and define our values, and assist each student to become a person of excellence and integrity." Simply put, Educating for Completeness is a call for education and educators to return to what matters most: the formation of character.
