The Great Learning / Da Xue / Ta Hsueh

The Winding Spring Process

The founder of the Timeless Way Foundation recognized within
the masterpiece called The Great Learning, the Da Xue, a
framework describing the interaction of the community with the
process of education.

He named this framework the Winding Spring Process of
Education, and was inspired to work towards improved
involvement by families and the community in the education of
our children.
