Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship Learning Organizations (Peter Senge) A learning organization is the term given to a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself.[1] Learning organizations develop as a result of the pressures facing modern organizations and enables them to remain competitive in the business environment.[2] A learning organization has five main features; systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning.[3] The Learning organization concept was coined through the work and research of Peter Senge and his colleagues [4] . It encourages organizations to shift to a more interconnected way of thinking. Organizations should become more like communities that employees can feel a commitment to.[5] They will work harder for an organization they are committed to.[citation needed] Development[edit] Organizations do not organically develop into learning organizations; there are factors prompting their change. Characteristics[edit] Systems thinking. Personal mastery.

Sallie Lee & Shared Sun Studio Free French lessons: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian Summits Blog Jason Mitchell is the head of the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab at Harvard University. He uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and behavioral methods to study how we infer the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of others (i.e., how we mentalize), as well as how we reason about counterfactual experiences. During Jason’s session on Day 1 of the 2010 Summit he explored the subject of “Making Sense of Others”. Psychologists have begun to realize that a large part of what allows us to be such a force on this planet comes not only from our cognitive abilities but also a set of specialized abilities that allow us to harness the energies of other people and hook up to their minds. Humans have the unique ability to cooperate in ways that contribute more effective communities, by plugging into the know-how and information that resides in the head of each individual. We are veracious mind readers and are constantly trying to make sense of others.
Cursive Writing [Age Rating] [Introduction] [Printable Worksheets] Age Rating All children develop as individuals. Parents and caregivers should use the age ratings below as a general guideline, taking the abilities, temperament and interests of their children into account. Ages 9+ Can complete without assistance. Introduction Just like printing, cursive writing is typically not presented in alphabetical order. Present lower case letters first -- you can quickly begin forming words so that cursive handwriting can be incorporated with other lessons such as spelling and social studies. Note: Of course, the first thing every child I've ever met has wanted to learn to write is their name -- and I always approach learning as something fun, so by all means encourage them to do this. Also, check out the Cursive Alphabet Coloring Pages for some fun cursive practice pages to compliment these worksheets.

Constructivist Learning Constructivist Learning by Dimitrios Thanasoulas, Greece Only by wrestling with the conditions of the problem at hand, seeking and finding his own solution (not in isolation but in correspondence with the teacher and other pupils) does one learn. ~ John Dewey, How We Think, 1910 ~ As a philosophy of learning, constructivism can be traced to the eighteenth century and the work of the philosopher Giambattista Vico, who maintained that humans can understand only what they have themselves constructed. Within the constructivist paradigm, the accent is on the learner rather than the teacher. If a student is able to perform in a problem solving situation, a meaningful learning should then occur because he has constructed an interpretation of how things work using preexisting structures. personal involvement; learner-initiation; evaluation by learner; and (see
