As young children, we all acquired our first language using a natural learning process genetically hardwired within the human brain. By examining the cultural and biological connections to mathematics during this workshop, we will take advantage of this same natural learning process to assist our students to successfully learn and enjoy math. Additionally these processes foster open and creative thinking which is powered by each person’s unique strengths and Local Wisdom. To take full advantage of this method we will build a personal framework to understand our own math learning styles as well as being able to diagnose the preferred learning styles of our students. By guiding students to work from their areas of strength they will improve in using their preferred style while also strengthening the learning styles that they once struggled with.
-Dr Michael Little Crow-
My perspective for education is it needs to be more about reflective training of the mind, using your breath to experience and comprehend by openly observing the mind-body connection while being in the present moment. Mindful Meditation practice is significant for each learner because it helps them to eliminate the pollution of the mind caused by the interference of living in the modern global era. They need practice in contemplation to create more single-mindedness, organized cognition, cultivating memory, patience, and elasticity of mental processes. Meditation is needed as the foundation of each individual’s personal development which will bring them to be successful in all their tasks whether during their education or while implementing their learning. By commencing a meditative practice at an early age, the sooner they will experience less stress, delusion, and violence while building self-regulation with executive attention throughout their lives. Statement on Meditation in Education by Dr. Uraipanyawan Pinthong, Co-President
