The Gattegno Effect Slated For Fall Publication

NEW YORK, April 5 /PRNewswire/ - Educational Solutions Worldwide Inc.  (ESWI) today announced it is compiling a collective memoir about Dr. Caleb Gattegno in recognition the 100^th anniversary since his birth.

The Gattegno Effect: 100 Voices on One of History's Greatest Educators, will be released this fall and will feature the submissions of 100 leading educators from all over the world recounting their experiences of knowing Dr. Gattegno personally and through his work.

"We are proud to carry forward the legacy of one of history's foremost innovators," said ESWI CEO Eaton Donald. "Dr. Gattegno created this company to solve the problems of education and we feel that this memoir is well in keeping with serving that purpose. We hope it inspires people to be more, do more, and expect more than they previously thought possible."

"The memoir, by drawing its materials from all over the world and in multi-lingual form, reflects the universal appeal of Dr. Gattegno's work today," said Donald.

Each memoir submission represents a personal journey toward understanding and applying Dr. Gattegno's monumental pedagogy, which is based on the percept that "only awareness is educable in man."

Meanwhile, the memoirs' collective journey reveals to us "Dr. G," a man who was considered as much a role model, philosopher, psychologist, scientist, inventor and author, as he was a great teacher.

The Gattegno Centennial is being celebrated through a number of events planned for the year, including the building of a new school in Haiti, where Dr. Gattegno's approach to teaching mathematics has been in use for more than a decade.
