Jeffrey]]> Clark, this is all quite interesting and rather new to me (yes, I will look at your books . . .)

I have not encountered slow learning before, and while following your link I saw that you defined this, in part, to include “It’s about having a long-term relationship with the learner, where we care about them, and are interested in developing them as people, not just as cogs.” This is an ideal situation, but with economic challenges and needing things yesterday and layoffs and budget cuts an unfortuinate way of corporate life, I am wondering how realistic this may be for it to become an organizational reality. Yes, it is ideal for forward-thinking firms, but not even higher education seems to think this way . . .

With this said, I am wondering what this may instead mean for us on an individual level. If organizations cannot be relied on for this, then we have to do it for ourselves.

There are less distractions and I can absorb your message. That’s my ideal learning situation – a space where I can absorb, analyse and synthesise. A place where I get to choose my path, my destination and my mentors. Self-directed learning suits me and enables me to move into, around and exit from networks, CoPs, groups and partnerships at my will. That’s why I like project based learning – we can set the trajectory at the beginning and then allow experience(s) to change the outcomes – we can brainstorm with team members and allow that new learning to change our process – we can explore a suite of tools for learning tasks and allow that exploration to determine which ones suit the learning and learners best. We already have the strategies to construct an ideal performance environment using a blend of the Massive Open Online Course process with the Open Education resources, the Social media tools and a learner centred attitude to learning.
In my role as a guide and mentor for teachers, my task is clear – I need to clarify the potential benefits of such a blend to the second and third followers to enhance their lifelong learning journey. I need to dig deeper into methods of ‘enabling’ learning so that teachers I support can ‘change’ and determine their own trajectory for guiding their own learners.
I am practicing a new approach ‘change by stealth’ – plant an idea; support from beneath and beside; observe and acknowledge achievement. I will build on that and report back later. (I have much to learn from your other posts.)

It’s so gentle and “slow” but, and there’s the rub, it simply doesn’t scale for today’s education factory.

The majority of us cannot live on the farm or in the bush; but can we design learning experiences along a similar model where learners contribute something of value to the community? For several years now, our local airport has displayed a wall-sized map of our town with hand-drawn pictures of local buildings. Everyone who comes to town (we’re a isolated fly-in community) sees and admires the map and many visitors use it to orient themselves and locate their destination. That map was made by a Grade 1-2 class.
