Who is responsible for learning?

If you believe that as a parent, a manager or leader you have a responsibility to teach, read on. If you do not, then this thought-for-the-week is not for you.

I love learning from people who look at things in a different way and are not afraid of trying new ‘ways of doing’.

This past weekend, I listened to an episode of NPR’s (National Public Radio) Podcast: The Hidden Brain, titled – When Everything Clicks: The Power of Judgment-Free Learning.

The focus of this podcast is on the role and responsibility of the teacher in learning and on a very different way of teaching.

It is the teacher who designs the world in which the student learns. A critical role is in designing the learning experience that it is natural, commonplace, eliminates all the noise in learning and provide objective and instantaneous feedback.

The podcast will explain it better than I can, but if this topic interests you, I encourage to listen to this podcast (51 minutes).

To all the Darlene’s I have interacted with, thank you. You will need to listen to the end of the podcast to understand this.

P.S. A thank you to my wife, Lauri, she always recommends the best podcasts for me to listen to and the best books to read.
