I get educational productivity... but what's ecstasy got to do with education?
Welcome to Fantastic Learning Systems by me, Josey De Rossi.
I set up FLS to share what I've learned about monetising an online creative learning business. Sign up and learn from someone who’s made hundreds of mistakes as a curriculum writer, developer and teacher.
This is because for all my artistic career I've sat between the job of creating theatre and teaching about it. Consequently, I've had decades practising what it means to live and work between the art of highly specialised knowledge and skills of theatrical work and the general knowledge of how teaching and learning impacting on every part of human life.
My take on blending these twin aspects of my life to join together two qualities of learning which are not usually paired - the challenge of being productive alongside the reward of learning as a source of deep personal joy.
The impact of COVID-19 has highlighted the preciousness of human contact. Human beings are not meant to live locked-down and cut off from family and friends. On the other hand, I don't believe we are as normally as aware as we should be on how our social connections impact on the quality of how we learn. We are even less aware that learning itself gives rise to our sense of resilience and well being.
So, balancing the economic and financial realities of managing our way through the learning systems we share with one another is, therefore, usually not thought of as a vital part of living happy lives!
My website brings what I know about how to design curricula in a variety of contexts. I have a deep desire to measure the courses and programmes I create for schools and business clients for their productivity - their costs, learning outcomes - while simultaneously valuing how learning is an immeasurable process that nurtures our capacity to become fully ourselves.
In the meantime, tell your friends!
