Changes and Transformation

Hello Readers,

Welcome, thank you visiting Learning Community Resources.

As we move into a relational economy, one that moves us away from the factory education model, our students must be able to collaborate, cooperate and share resources in order to be functional members of a global community.

The role of education must change. Our children are facing a future far different from the one we, as adults, have experienced.
Relational economies require successful relational skills.

So how do we develop Learning Relationships?

Check back in January 2012 for a preview of my book and a variety of new resources to help you find the answers you need to begin building a learning community.

In the meantime, enjoy the Holiday Season!

Best Regards,
LeeAnn Gibbs, CEO Learning Community Resources

The Rewards of Staff Engagement

by LeeAnn November 16, 2011

With tight monetary resources, now more than ever, schools need teachers who can and will engage with each other, with their students, with their parents and with ideas and content. Reading this you may say “well of course.” However the culture of education, -the “school of origin,” – if you will, has not valued nor [...]
