Teacher.
Ashton-Warner, Sylvia
This book offers an "organic" approach to teaching based on the recognition of the opposing human forces of destructiveness and creativity. The experience of teaching in a Maori school in New Zealand for 24 years provides the background of this personal story. With much of the content presented in anecdotal fashion, the quality and nature of this woman's creative teaching is communicated. Interleaved throughout the book are photographs of the school, the children, and their activities. (NH)
