THE ART & CRAFT of DESIGNING & FACILITATING LEARNING SPACES
DATES: JANUARY 8th - 10th, 2020 @ Bentley University.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The course is aimed towards leaders, faculty, staff, curriculum designers and program directors in higher education as well as trainers, consultants and entrepreneurs in education. We also believe educators at all levels will benefit from the program. (See the “Attend if you are:” section below). The Art and Craft of Facilitating Learning Spaces Masterclass will introduce, explore and train participants in experiential learning and teaching.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Participants will be introduced to the unique ‘opportunity-based pedagogy’ and competency model of the Kaospilots, which has been developed over 20 years from working and engaging with young dynamic learners & leaders and by exploring the potential in transformational education.
Through imaginative interpretation, “hacking” and creative application of your curriculum, new pedagogical and methodological processes will be explored which will challenge and update the traditional approach to learning and content delivery. You can read the full description here or scroll down for an overview of the 3 day schedule.
BusinessWeek has recognised The Kaospilots as "one of the best design schools in the world", and Fast Company has named it in its Startup League's Big 10, "preparing you for the fast moving startup economy".
