What's the right setting for delivering Experiential Learning content?
In the blog I wrote last month I tried to address some of the assumptions about experiential learning that seem to be getting in the way of people including elements of this approach in their programming. It seems that the most pervasive of these assumptions is about the physical spaces that are needed to deliver effective experiential content. To ...

Are your assumptions about Experiential Learning getting in the way of a breakthrough in performance?
My friend and colleague Graham Cook is heading to Florida later this month where he'll be delivering a session at Training Magazine's 'Training 2024' conference and exhibition. His session is titled 'How to Design Behavioral Change Using Experiential Learning Activities'. I'm not going to be alongside him for this conference but that doesn't mean I...

Continuous Professional Development for Focused Experiential Learning
Most good trainers and facilitators I meet tend to have a strongly developed intuition about the needs of others. It doesn't take long for them to get to understand what will help a student to learn, and how learning material needs to be presented to make it easier for that learning to take place. As these trainers and facilitators become more ...

What's The Best Seasonal Gift You Could Give?

Case Study St John Rigby Sixth Form College
St John Rigby Sixth Form College
Connecting RSVP Design’s tools to the school curriculum
As an integral part of the curriculum, St John Rigby has a ‘Values for Living’ programme. This encourages the students to engage with broad ethical, social & political issues. Giving the students an understanding of the issues impacting the global community makes them aware of the need to play a role in wider society. It also contributes to enhancing their employability.
One of the ‘Values for Living’ themes is Citizenship. RSVP Design had the opportunity to work alongside Senior Tutors and Teachers to pilot the use of experiential learning tools to explore this theme. After discussion with Careers and Teaching Staff, we opted to use the ‘Colourblind®’ resource pack to explore and demonstrate the communication & listening skills that are necessary when students have to interact as citizens with other members of their community.
Enter your details to hear how the Colourblind® activity was used in this Secondary Education setting.
