About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Using Memorable Examples

Christopher, yes and with adult learners who have previous experience, we can ask them to share examples or ideas of where the concepts might apply. This helps in learning & also shows we appreciate that they have these prior experiences. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
