Monday and Tuesday of last week I participated in the Dance of Racial Reconciliation – racial reconciliation training encouraged for all pastors and church leaders in the Christian Reformed Church. It was valuable but seemed to lean too heavily on a cognitive approach.
I car-pooled both days with Bonnie, Fernando and Miriam - staff members at Rosewood church. And on the way home Tuesday, we shifted to an alternate way of learning as each of us took the time to share our story of faith. There are many ways to learn and often unexpected ways trump traditional approaches.
This morning I heard a terrific segment on NPR – “Playing for Change”. Watch this and feel the power of music bringing people together.

what I've "learned" in designing adult learning opportunities can be boiled down to a four step process 1)ANCHOR the learning in the participant's past experience 2)ADD to the learning with new content--idea or concept 3)APPLY the new content 4)synthesize the new content with the learner's prior knowledge so that it can be taken AWAY and be used in real life
ReplyDeleteWhat you did in the car ride was the most effective way for adults to learn...authentic dialogue.
