Description
To work in complex environments, you and your team must learn continually. It is not enough for individuals to learn for themselves, the team also needs a discipline for learning together. Based on a practice in the US Air Force, we encourage teams to surface their failures and concerns after every significant effort or event. By acknowledging and talking about their experiences, the group can see, understand, and influence patterns to improve performance in their next engagement.
Teaching & Learning
Radical Rules for Schools provides a path for seeing, understanding, and influencing the dynamics that shape patterns of generative teaching and learning. Using the principles of human systems dynamics, this practical book helps build adaptive capacity for individuals and groups. The rules change behaviors, and the behaviors transform patterns as educators adapt to the challenges and changes they face today. The authors recommend a short list of simpleyet radicalrules to guide decision making and action to set conditions for generative teaching and learning for students, faculty, administrators, boards, and families.
