The Inspired Learning Model ™

Most of the Model's 7 elements are going to sound familiar to dedicated and professional trainers and educators. As one seasoned educator put it, "This Model articulates what I have believed in and tried to practice for the past 17 years in my classroom!" The Model also challenges one of the oldest training principles: the idea that holds that as teachers and trainers we need to point out where the student has done something wrong. The Model takes a bold stand for focusing on only those competencies that the learner did "right." The Inspired Learning Model™ Handbook, in easy to understand language, describes how this is accomplished in any classroom or training environment, or in any workplace.

We are here to form a community to encourage inspired individuals to learn and practice, or for some of you to continue to practice the seven elements of the Inspired Learning Model™. We know many of you have been using several if not all of the seven elements of the Inspired Learning Model™ for years.
