The Harkness Method of Teaching by SWIS' Matt Manfredi SWIS' 'ROC RADIO
-
- Education
This morning at SWIS, Matt Manfredi from Long Island in New York was the guest on SWIS ROC Radio.
We hear a little bit of information about his family; his mother and father, Lois and Dante and his wonderful daughter, Kayley in Hanoi (who eats snails....).
Matt has been an educator for 18 years and it does not show in his youthful appearance!
On the 11&12th May at Level 5, Shekou, Matt will lead a workshop designed to explore the use of student-centered, discussion-based education described as the Harkness method. It’s a collaborative approach to problem solving and learning. This method was created and is used daily at Phillips Exeter Academy located in Exeter, New Hampshire. Phillips Exeter has been consistently ranked as one of the top ten best prep schools in America.

It was enlightening listening to Matt explain the Harkness method in greater detail and it was very obvious that he is very passionate about it and is eager to share more details with the participants at the workshop.
Matt finally admits (we all knew) that his hero is Tina Turner. It was a fitting way to end the show.
We hope you enjoy the show and if you would like to find out more information about the Harkness method or if you'd like to meet Matt in person (?) then pop along to the INS department at SWIS Shenzhen https://www.swis.cn.
Finally, as mentioned on the show, well done to Spurs on their success last night against Man City (tough to say as an Arsenal Fan). We have two happy Spurs fans at SWIS today and one very unhappy Ringrose.
