2014 – Present
Anne sourced and Gaze funded Feuerstein to NZ – Israeli Mediated Teaching programme.

This programme has special emphasis for our 140,000 Learning Supported children nationwide. Anne instigated, drove and trained 1400 teachers nationwide, directly benefitting 126,000+ children annually nationwide in the first 14 months. Gaze Foundation funded over $500,000 in delivering knowledge of this programme to all schools and families in NZ.

Anne sourced and Gaze funded Arrowsmith programme into 6 schools in NZ, partnering with the Friedlander Foundation to deliver into our low decile schools. This programme replaces the school curriculum with full-day ‘cognitive lessons’ but has no research, is for-profit and costs $17,000+ pa per child – this lack of educational equity was the motivation to Anne to search the globe for a cognitive intervention that did have research, was scalable and affordable to all our children. In the absence of any found internationally, Anne decided to develop her own, NZ programme and established the Centre for Brain Research’s cognitive programme.
