World Cultures Through Objects and Stories
Use rare instruments and artifacts to practice close observation, develop questions, and connect discoveries with maps, history, and cultural stories.
EXPLORE PRACTICAL CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS THROUGH GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, CULTURAL ARTIFACTS, FIRSTHAND STORIES AND HANDS-ON PARTICIPATION.
Faculty workshops make global learning tangible. Educators explore geography, history, art, language and music through firsthand stories, rare instruments, cultural artifacts and participation.
Led by a Montessori-trained educator, each session offers practical, interdisciplinary ideas teachers can adapt to their students and curriculum. Explore object-based inquiry, cultural connections and hands-on activities that continue in the classroom.

"Daniel's teaching approach that connects with all ages is phenomenal! Our students thoroughly enjoyed their individual class time with Daniel and his musical instruments. Daniel continued that same evening to amaze and entertain our students and their families during our Annual International Night celebration."

"Daniel was very patient. Especially with an audience of younger children, many of which had special needs. He was able to accommodate all ages and abilities in his presentation and demonstrated an intimate understanding of the children and maintain their interest. Daniel was able to keep the flow going and redirect student behaviors in age appropriate ways. He has a natural way with children and we look forward to his return!"
