Thoughts on Teaching - I've taught for many years. I'd tried to be honest about it, and to be effective since I learned a thing or two from a prof or two. It starts with being authentic and caring, and not just playing the authority. My task is to design experiences so that people can learn from reflections on their own experience.
What's to be learned? - I've long taught a thing called "organizational behavior". What needs to be learned is leadership and taking responsibility in a world that is changing very rapidly. Systems out there are flat on purpose and out of necessity. Organizations are communities. We need to transcend the limits of traditional individualism.
CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION - If learning by doing is important, there's likely no more critical thing for students to be learning these days than what 'democracy' (lower case) is all about since collabortion in decisionmaking is the hallmark of effective management.
ACTION LEARNING - We learn best from experience and taking responsibility. This is particularly important for learning tacit skills -- habits and ways of doing rather than cognitive ideas.
KENTUCKY FLEA MARKET - Great place to find a new dog that will get housebroken on a cross country tour riding on the dashboard of your van!
TRUST INTRO - what is it, how to think about it. It involves choices, and isn't simply a feeling.
GRAND CANYON - Got stop and take in the breath taking views when you are out on the road seeing the country.
HARNISH HOMESTEAD - Eymans were among the Mennonites and German Baptists who early settled Conestoga in the heart of Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER HERRS - The first bishop of Mennonites and the rock house his son built for him.
ROCKINGHAM - Virginia lands of Lincolns, Eymans, and many Germans who treasured limestone soils.
FAMILY TIES - When you're on the road and meet people interested in your common roots, a wonderful feeling of family ties can ensue and make one's journey less lonesome.
WAKE UP CALL - more darned car trouble on the road!
GOT TIME? - We're clock nuts and love to live in a house busy with the sounds of music calling out the hour, halves, and quarters;-) Here's a visit to Merritt's.
