Solving for "X" Teaching Students to Thrive in Uncertainty

John Hunter, teacher and creator of the World Peace Game will share the core principles of his game created in 1978, explaining how open ended, overwhelming, ambiguous and complex problems are good learning opportunities for students to develop thinking critically, collaboratively and creatively. Hunter has spoken at several Montessori national conferences and will avidly relay his work’s philosophical alignment with Maria Montessori’s practices and principles.
