Dr. Robert Kegan: A New 3-Hour Professional
Learning Lab "Diagnosing and Overcoming the
"Immunity to Change" Why should it be so difficult for us
to bring about the changes we genuinely intend? There are
a host of usual answers. But too often, the answers only serve
to keep us and others in the same old patterns. In this fast-moving,
experiential, and reflective workshop, Harvard professor Robert
Kegan will invite each of us to make use of our own experience
to explore the concept of an "immunity to change"
- and what we can do about it. Participants are not required
to make any of their work public, and are encouraged to set
the pace that works best for them throughout the workshop.

SURE-Fire
Meetings
SURE-fire meetings will give you the tools you need to apply
the principles and practices of the Dialogue Education Approach
so that you can create participatory and effective business
meetings. It is based on the premise that meetings should
be opportunities for individual and collective learning. By
drawing on the principles of how adults learn, you will discover
how to create an atmosphere of Safety and Respect, and opportunities
for meaningful participation and engagement on the part of
everyone present. You will learn how your colleagues can make
clear decisions that everyone will support, and to evaluate
the process and results of your meetings. October 9-10, 2006

Advanced
Learning Design
The Advanced Learning Design course provides an opportunity
to go more deeply into the technical aspects of curriculum
design, communication, and learning styles. You will be asked
to bring a current program or course you are designing or
want to redesign for use within your organization. That design
is the center of this course, as it is reviewed, described,
analyzed, dissected, reconstructed and then part of it taught
to the others in the course. Such a demanding process leads
to increased knowledge, skills and confidence in designing
learning based curriculum and program initiatives. You will
also benefit from reflecting on the designs of other participants
and discussing how you can make learning more participatory,
accountable and engaging. pre-requisite: Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach October 9-11, 2006
