(compiled and written by Nancy Brown-Johnston and Shelley McLean)
$19.95 & s/h
Experiential learning is a powerful way to help teams and groups understand their strengths and habits while identifying areas that need improvement. We created the POCkit Guide™ to encourage practitioners and leaders to use experiential activities to increase learning and to help individuals and groups explore the impact their behaviors and choices have on others. Each initiative has: an activity description, suggested number of participants, materials list, suggested time frame, specific set-up instructions and debriefing questions.
Experiential learning is an approach to education that has grown in popularity over the past twenty years. The steps are easy. Set up and conduct an initiative, have participants reflect upon their experience to gain insights from the experience and encourage them to incorporate their new understanding into their work and personal lives. Team initiatives capture the interest and involvement of the participants in training and meeting settings. But most importantly, done well, they contribute significantly to the transfer of learning and behaviour change.
