Evelyn in Nigeria

On August 3-5, 2021, Evelyn Onyekonwu, IMS student in Nigeria, participated in a conference sponsored by Revive Tech Montessori (Dr. Isioma Thomas, Dir.), held in her native city of Asaba, Delta State. In her presentation, Evelyn spoke about the IMS technology, giving examples, such as the technique eye contact, looking at the child in his eyes, with no negative judgmental expression.
She further mentioned the IMS protocol, least amount of adult involvement, noting the caregiver’s role to observe the classroom environment, and only give a particular instruction with materials when the child shows a “green light” signal of interest in some specific piece of work. Evelyn also emphasized the importance of less talk to reduce the danger of too much adult involvement that can lead to personality struggles.
