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.

Mapping How People Learn to the Classroom

Bronzel, this is true & the reflection should happen as close to the conclusion of the experience as possible. I also think it's a good idea to prep individuals for experiences so they are more in tune with learning during the experience. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
