As part of the daily round of working, we encourage people to look at what they have learnt and their experiences of learning. We ask questions or make suggestions so that people may develop their abilities to evaluate their own experiences. At the same time we may invite them to join with us in making judgements about the work. For much of the time this is not planned and does not make use of formal tools. It twists and develops through conversation.
More formal activities are also often necessary to stimulate reflection.
These can range from the production of annual reports, through things like focus groups, to residentials and business meetings. The keynotes are dialogue and the exercise of democratic power. Education Now Books, pages 73-74. Tony Jeffs and Mark K. Smith First published November 1999.
