Debunking Learning Myths

Such an energetic conversation!

 

One of the things we discussed was the importance of having grace.

 

Remember, tribal knowledge can be a hard thing to fight. We all have biases that get in the way of learning something different or keeps us from course correcting.

 

Critical is the idea of doing your own research. Take information from someone you trust, and conduct some research with an unbiased eye.

 

THIS is how we beat back myths. By growing our own knowledge and providing guidance when necessary. We discussed "repeating the truth, not the myth." Which is PERFECT. Share the correct information.

 

When someone says, "let's be sure we touch on all the learning styles in our programs," we can simply say, "I think what you mean is create content that supports the exchange of knowledge," and leave it there. If the conversation persists, then you can too.
