Debbi discussed Montessori schooling in New Zealand, the role of MANZ plays in New Zealand Montessori education and issues currently facing NZ Montessorians. She also shared highlights from the Montessori Association of New Zealand conference which was held on September 18th and September 19th, 1999. Joan is well known for her commitment to education. She is currently a member of the Board of Education - Webster Groves School District. Joan has created Nation Relation, a full-color card matching game Nation Relation that introduces the world and cultures to young children.
Children play by finding matches and relationships among the nation cards.
But, before we can have understanding about other peoples of the world, we must have awareness. We must begin this awareness about other nations and cultures at a young age and it must be done in a positive, non-judgmental, interesting way. You can learn more about teaching tool by visiting Nation Relation . We were delighted to have Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams join us for a very special chat about our youth and their feelings in May, 2000. She explored feelings and the relationship to character development.
