Abstract	An analysis of deficiencies of recent curriculum reform efforts in Australia and recommendations for improvement are presented in this paper. Despite criticisms that have been levelled at the educational system, a conclusion is that educators are well prepared to meet the demands for restructuring. What is needed is not merely restructuring, but a new, holistic, "colligative," spirit based on faith, love, and hope to counteract the present pessimistic, fragmented, and reductionistic approach. Borrowing concepts from Buddhism, Taoism, and global ecology, the new perspective is contrasted with the inherently individualistic, destructive, competitive, and antagonistic Western approach. Nine ways in which teachers can build a balanced worldview for personal and global survival are discussed from within a teaching perspective that instills the values of harmony, community, and gaiety.
