John, did you know that Maria Montessori's original work in education was with children with disabilities? As a scientist first (she had just completed medical school), and not having been influenced by educational theorists, she started by observin…
I live for a day when we revolutionize public policy and learning in a publicly-funded setting and create an all-inclusive, DISRUPTABLE setting that incorporates all learners and styles of learning. I believe first our communities must become more o…
As connecting all common intentions together is essential, I feel that it is worth knowing that a group of 155 members are also interested in exploring this field at the Presencing Institute community site (the PI community focuses on co-creating aw…
I guess I would be considered conservative in this conversation, because I believe there is a place for (better, and more responsive) schools in the 21st Century.
It would be strange if folks interested in the World Cafe model would discount the po…
Are you also looking at the current brain research in how the brain learns, stores, retains, retrieves information?

I know Edward de Bono's work well. I also love Roger von Oech. Thank you for the suggestions.
John

The link you posted does not exist! Howeverm I am really interested in the series.
If you'd like to check out and example of some specific creative thinking skills that are already developed and available to be taught... a qualified trainer of de Bono's (Graeme Allan) is doing a series (already going for over a month now) teaching…
Humans need to be taught creative thinking skills - specifically as a subject. We've got someone who has spent their life originated and tested ways to do this. Someone who predicted the ways the brain was designed to work and vindicated as MRI veri…
I was reseraching the Stanford D school recently and they have a faculty that deals with unlearning. The idea is that their students have to unlearn all the standarised teaching to tests that plagues the West's public education systems. interesting…
