Junko Lowry Junko Lowry teaches Japanese at Kamehameha Schools to high school students of Hawaiian ancestry. Recipient of the first Hawaii Association of Language Teachers Outstanding Teacher Award and co-author of "Ikiteiru Nihongo", a 12-volume textbook series for high school students, she has been keenly interested in creating an engaging communicative classroom for 32 years. After a decade of serving languages organizations and languages students, she turned her attention to a bigger picture of education. Stepping back and including the understanding of the heart and the mind, she has offered Clinic for Tired Teachers to dissolve blocks which prevent us from growing and which drain us of energy. Her website includes a more expanded picture of "Non-judgmental Teaching." Short description of the presentation When we can stand at a distance we can see everything in better perspective: the students, the administrators, the parents, the curriculum, the management of time and resources.... In this presentation we will explore the elements which support to create an engaging learning-centered classroom by striving to be a non-judgmental teacher. True classroom management creates conditions for each student to prosper and be at their creative best. Non-judgmental teaching works to uncover learning blocks and support the students to move forward. There is an element of freedom, an element of ease, and at the same time the goal of instruction is crystal clear to both the instructor and the students. This kind of management involves knowledge of how our minds work. It is also a matter of the heart, the practice of holding the highest vision of each student. What is going to happen? Misa sensei's paper is at So read the paper above and go to TAPPED IN with the new interface. There, you will be able to discuss this topic with Junko sensei and others from around the world. TAPPED IN is open to everybody and the presentation will be done in English. Where? TAPPED IN is letting us use their space. Please go to for detailed Guest log in info. No sign up necessary. Please log in a few minutes early to get used to the environment or do practice before the actual session. Can I use Japanese?
