Elwyn Richardson
Elwyn Stuart Richardson, (July 8, 1925 – 24 December 2012), was a New Zealand educator. He is best known for his book ''In the Early World'' a record of the development of his educational philosophy while working at a small country school in Northland, New Zealand from 1949 to 1962.〔MacDonald, Margaret. Elwyn Richardson and the Early World of Art Education in New Zealand, Thesis (Ph.D.)- University of Canterbury, 2010, p.14〕 On the strength of his early work, the school was granted ‘experimental status’ by Clarence Beeby, Director of Education, a special consideration that allowed him to develop his own teaching methods and curriculum largely unimpeded by school inspectors. From 1969 -1972 Richardson worked at American universities as a visiting lecturer. Richardson is considered a significant figure in New Zealand education because of his own work and educational writings and the critical impact of his educational philosophy internationally.〔MacDonald, Margaret. Elwyn Richardson and the Early World of Art Education in New Zealand, Thesis (Ph.D.)- University of Canterbury, 2010〕
== Early life ==
Richardson was born July 8, 1925 in Otahuhu, New Zealand, the second of two sons of a farming family of small means. His early childhood was spent on Waiheke Island where his family farmed dairy cattle. An early mentor, Walford Outram Moffat Camille Fowler, who was hired to work on the farm when Richardson was three years old, had a profound influence on Richardson ideas about teaching and learning.〔Richardson, Elwyn. Into a Further World. Henderson, New Zealand: E. S. Richardson, 2001, p.v.〕 A keen zoologist, Fowler introduced Richardson to the scientific wonders of the natural world and took over his early education.〔Richardson, Elwyn. Into a Further World. Henderson, New Zealand: E. S. Richardson, 2001, p.1〕
At eight years old Richardson was accepted to Dilworth School in 1933, a private boarding school in Auckland for boys from disadvantaged backgrounds. Richardson remained at Dilworth until he was 14, leaving on December 13, 1940. He then attended Mt Albert Grammar School and following this, undertook a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Auckland, studying geology, chemistry and botany while working part-time as an industrial chemist in the amalgamated brick, pipe and pottery division of Crown Lynn a ceramics manufacturer. In 1946 he applied to Auckland College of Education and after completing his 'Division A' (Primary/Elementary) course in February 1948, spent his probationary teaching year at Puni School near Pukekohe. He applied for the remote country position at Oruaiti School in 1949 largely because of its distinct fauna of sea life, but also because the sole-charge posting offered him the opportunity to work out his own ideas about teaching and learning alone. In particular, he was intrigued by the species Agnewia tritoniformis a rare, delicate pink gastropod mollusc from the muricid family.〔Richardson discovered new habitats for this mollusc in the Northland region and wrote a paper, ''Distribution in New Zealand of the Australian gastropod Agnewia tritoniformis (de Blainville)'' for The New Zealand Journal of Scientific Technology (1953). Over the next years he published several scientific papers for the Taupaki Malacological Society about East Cape Fossils from Te Piki, and new species he discovered in Hawkes Bay.〕
