William Damon to Speak

Tickets are Unavailable for this Event

William Damon, the director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, will be speaking in Portland on November 15 at a fundraising and educational event co-sponsored by NWMMS and Montessori Institute Northwest (MINW).

Damon, a widely respected educational psychologist, is the author of numerous books including Greater Expectations: Overcoming the Culture of Indulgence in Our Homes and Schools and The Moral Child: Nurturing Children’s Natural Moral Growth. His academic career has focused on education and moral development. Damon’s current research and work at Stanford is designed “to promote the character and competence of all young people growing up in today’s world”.

Damon’s work offers scientific support for the role of community in moral and character development during the critical period of early adolescence, and he is excited to be partnering with our program.  His presentation should be of interest to Montessorians, all types of educators, parents, and anyone interested in human development.  Mark the date in your calendars for the evening of November 15!
