shaping a Plan for Mori no Ike Sannin yoreba bunju no chie … Whenever three people gather, great ideas come forth … When the Mori no Ike advisory board met, the great ideas did pour forth just as the old Japanese proverb states. Creativity steered the conversation as the newly formed Japanese Language Village advisory board strategized the Village’s role in the state of Japanese language education in the united states. Made possible by a grant from the u.s.-Japan Foundation, the group represented national experts in the fields of Japanese language and culture in grades K-16. the third meeting of the year coincided with July international day. patricia thornton, director of summer youth programs and chair of the advisory board, expressed appreciation that former Japanese deans and key staff served on the board and helped advance current goals. “However, it was equally important,” she said, “to include individuals who were completely new to the Villages and could fulfill the role of ‘critical friend’ for Mori no Ike.” as an added cultural bonus, the board visited Minneapolis institute of arts to see the Japanese collection and attended a special performance by Mu daiko taiko drum ensemble. at the same event, founding Mori no Ike dean, ann Junko McCarthy, received the elgin Heinz outstanding teacher award from david Janes, program officer and assistant to the president of the u.s.-Japan Foundation. ann has taught Japanese in the Minneapolis school system for 19 years. By year’s end, the advisory board presented the u.s.-Japan Foundation with a five-year strategic plan to develop, assist and strengthen Mori no Ike for the future. left: Mori no ike villagers learn the Japanese word for leaf, ha, on a nature hike. inset: High school credit villagers practice calligraphy at the Japanese Language Village.
