What Are Your Three Rs for Success?
By Karen Mathieson | June 30, 2009
Time was, the three Rs were pretty straightforward: Reading, Writing and ‘Rithmetic were what Tom Sawyer’s exasperated teachers tried to pound into him between extracurricular escapades. Or, as the Mock Turtle has it in “Alice in Wonderland,” the basic course for his own species was “Reeling and Writhing . . . and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
Who is the workplace learner today? And how is learning changing not only for that person, but as regards classrooms literal or virtual, organizations of every stripe, and the people who support on-the-job development in all its forms – workplace learning professionals? The Evolution of Learning, the ASTD-Cascadia Regional Conference for 2009, will address those questions at the Salem Conference Center September 23 and 24. There’s also a pre-conference workshop on Sept. 22. (Go “Home” and click The Evolution of Learning logo to find out more.)
Right now, the question at hand is: What do you think are ”Three R’s” vital for learning in the 21st-century workplace? Greg Bell, conference keynote speaker, has three words picked out for your consideration in a workshop he’ll present in Salem, but that would be telling.
So here it is: What “R” you thinking of when you reflect on what makes workplace learning successful? Just lift up that index finger on your left hand and tell everybody now!
And be sure to visit Greg’s website to get a sense of the humor, skill and wisdom he’ll bring to The Evolution of Learning:
