Folks,

I’m writing a new coach education experience, and I’ve come to see the beauty in returning to the start and seeing it as if it is for the first time.

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” TS Eliot.

Using Bloom’s Taxonomy as the anchor point for the exercise, each time the learner comes back to look at the Bloom’s Taxonomy chart they are working on, it’s clear they return with new information and a new way of looking at the same problem. Through knowledge and understanding, we get to work with what we know to create new ways of doing—returning each time not to stop but to stand still.

If you know the Armadillo Problem (in yourself and others) you will know how hard it is to move from instructional to discovery mode. 

I’m going to leave you with another project that is bubbling away and it’s one I’m excited to bring to you shortly. I’m not going into martial arts but I am trying to figure out a practice design that will allow us to explore movement in a class setting. Who knows, maybe we will start every class with a bow. 

Until next week,

Simon

P.S. If you would like to tell me what you are working on, you can drop me a line here, I’d love to hear from you.
