LEAT® Principles
We have learned better ways of learning by learning ourselves and helping others to learn.*
Through this work we have come to value:
Doing and Showing over studying and lecturing
Tactile Experience over passive listening
Creative Collaboration over central dictation
Reflect and Adjust over fixating knowledge
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Learn by Doing
Accelerate learning by activating the tactile memory with a dramatic impact on the participant's mindset.
Inspect and Reflect to close the Learning loop
Every experiential learning activity should include inspection and reflection with feedback and coaching from experts and fellow team members to internalize the learning.
Provide a Safe learning environment through simulation
Simulation is like real life but different enough for the participant to allow for insightful mistakes creating more profound learning.
Build Trust through collaboration on challenging exercises
Trust in each other is accomplished by solving problems, enduring hardship, sharing feedback and experiencing improvement together.
Apply bite-size theory in bite-size tasks
Bridge the gap between theory and knowledge by practising with small but challenging tasks executed right after the introduction of the theory.
Data -> Information -> Knowledge -> Wisdom
Provide data and information to create knowledge, add the three essential elements for modern-day learning: critical thinking, problem-solving and reflection.
Engagement by Collaborative Gamification
Create ownership of the learning experience by collaboration in gamified activities leading to high level of retention and exceptional ROI
Build-in direct assessment of participants, theory and training
Observe execution of practices from theory to assess the effectiveness of the theory and the training program in terms of the benefits to the trainees and organization.
Enable Personalized Learning
Combine technology and simulations to create a personalized journey of assessment, teaching, learning and curriculum choice.
Development of reflective practise habits
Create self-monitoring of effectiveness and outcomes to stimulate continuous improvement
