Distilling Chinese Education into 8 Concepts

This book seeks to better understand the intricate elements of Chinese education compared to American education thus helping educators and policy makers to craft win-win decisions in the education encounter of the dragon and the eagle. Many educators are pulling their hair trying to understand how to work well with new Chinese immigrant students and their parents. To get the job done, one has to go beyond the superficial language translation to understanding the culture that shapes the base foundations of learning and thinking.

Ovid K. Wong Ph.D. is an associate professor of education at Benedictine University, Lisle, Illinois and a visiting professor of Dalian Nationalities University, China. He is an award winning educator and the author of thirty books.
