| Bill Salmon - Fire Captain (Ret.), M. Ed., Educator with APUS.edu - as Adjunct Faculty What we do is Create Learning Cultures Through Collaborative Communications: Developing a Learning Culture involves embracing adult (Andragogical) principles of learning. In a "learning culture" each individual is encouraged and allowed to own their educational path, and tap into what they already know while building upon their previous knowledge. This is not a cliché, it is a living reality. Training staff and employees will become collaborative learners who share the development and delivery of their learning programs. These concepts may be utilized in the Fire Service, as well as corporate America. (Bill's Collaborative Learner Communication Model - PDF PPT) |
