why isnt action learning the great win-win currency of all time
this innt a new challenge in debating it since 1984 here are some of our hall of fame momnents
new zealanders gordon dryden came ocer to norman macrar's london office soon aftervreafing our 1984 book - for 34 year he has tirelessly experiemnted with http://the learningweb.net among a clister of new zealand schools
for many yeras each kiwi christma he took over a local radio station and issued a cimmunity-to-nation wide chalenge what's the next billion dolar market new zealanders should innovate precidsely because njo other nation will
as early as technolgy alowed it, girdon schoosl flipped- they ecouraged stuidents to be video reporters and the etachers to be the examined!/interviewed; in this way the classroom created new action learning foci that became hugely valuable for surrounding communities
what ahppened in termks of replicationj gordon and his alumni work
a problem is it went beyind nationally standardised cuuricula- howver it attracted international schools who often had to innovatte curricula and had more personal cintrolp over certification- you will see a hugh ciorrelation between international schools and best practices in experienntial learning partly becaise if gordons influence
the biggest cris hapened when over 50 million chiense families bough gordons book in the 1990s - sadly girdon ended up with -30000 dolars revenue and was never able to form a chiense par5tnership in localising what parents communities and youth wanted to do as the web started to be designed into china's 21st Century
