About the class

You are the most interesting learner you will ever study.

Most courses about learning theory ask you to learn about learners. This one asks you to become the case. You will surface your own beliefs about knowing, map the network that shapes what you find credible, and test whether you really teach around the whole of Kolb's cycle or just camp in your favourite quadrant.

Then you will go somewhere outside your own discipline — an interprofessional experience, a cross-sector workshop, whatever genuinely stretches you — and come back with something you did not have before.

The course ends with a self-directed Learning Journey: a project chosen by you, pursued by you, and reflected on with the frameworks we have built together.

How it runs

The shape of the semester.

    Dr. Robert Hausmann

    Educator. Facilitator. Pilot. Observer of human systems. Robert is a professor in the University of Houston EdD Professional Leadership program and an international leadership consultant. His work sits at the intersection of leadership development, organizational learning, and making sense when the stakes are high.
