  Welcome to

Hosting learning to create the education we dream of

Host: Laura Weisel 

​About: For more than 30 years Laura Weisel has studied how the brain works to learn and what impacts learning.  Working at all levels of the education system, she began to think there must be a better way to support all learners to become successful learners.  A breakthrough happened when she developed tools for identifying and managing underlying learning challenges.  But, that didn't seem to be enough.  After coming in contact with the participatory methods that form the Art of Hosting, she suddenly saw how taking participatory practice into learning situations could create dramatic results.  These new participatory methods engaged all students. Peer learning in addition to practicing social skills was an instant success in primary through university classrooms.  Studies have indicated across the board learning gains for all students.  At the same time, this approach creates a revolution for the role of teachers and administrators.  
 
This track will review the methodologies and how they can be used in any classroom, specific strategies that have been added to the methodologies to engage all students and work with learning content or curriculum, how and why the brain responds to participatory learning, specific social capital skills (aka social skills, social emotional learning) that are practiced using these methodologies, techniques for creating hosting learning plans, and how to have students learn through apprenticing in hosting learning.  The participatory learning practices used in the classroom are amazing when adapted for education administration and supervisory levels for creating a whole new culture focus on learning not teaching.  ​Practitioners attending this track will receive a Participatory Learning Packet with how-to cards for each methodology and a guidebook for using Participatory Learning in education.​​

Collective Harvest by Participants

What Happened:
  • Adapted methodologies of AoH for education systems
  • How does the brain work in learning
  • Toolkit of resources to support in education settings
  • Two Loops (model from Berkana)  where the old system is dying and the new paradigms are emerging
  • Took a systems view, drilled down to individuals and then back up to system
  • Connect and inspiration
  • World Café what is learning, what impacts on learning

So What
  • appreciate what is good about the current system
  • Participatory Learning should be a temptation….
  • Go slow, go small
  • IT WORKS
  • We want to use it more
  • We need to use this - need to invite key people to join up.

“I function like you,
you function like me
and that is the core of our common humanity”
​Now what?
  • WIGGIO: ongoing collaboration as a group around education
  • Work with the existing systems across the world to reform
  • Alternative learning pathways into life outside of the system
  • Work with teachers (participatory learning) - school system and university
  • Tool translation into other languages
  • Individual learning ongoing
  • Three community conversations (across the Globe) on education
  • Use techniques with students
  • Long term intention to use methodologies to change the way training is done in an employment/business context
  • Research - codesign a process for the conversation across the globe - harvest the data for some collective and local learnings (Australia,
