Recommended books
Freedom to Learn: A View of What Education Might Become
Carl R. Rogers
The three most important moving parts in a teaching learning relationship. And none of them touched on in our mainstream methodology or training.
Impro
Keith Johnstone
The essence of impro, and for me one of the essential parts of teaching, along with Roger's three above.
Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World
Margaret Wheatley
For anyone that tries to organise anyone else, once you realise that humans don't go in straight lines.
The Web of Life: A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems
Fritjof Capra
How everything is connected to everything, the basic ideas of systems thinking. This changes my take on everything, including teaching, being in an organisation, and leadership.
Action Inquiry: the Secret of Transforming and Timely Leadership
Bill Torbet and Associates
The most exciting form of action inquiry I have come across, and well suited to the working with the wider systems of which one is part.
How We Learn and How We Should be Taught Volume 1: An Introduction to the Work of Caleb Gattegno
Roslyn Young and Piers Messum
An excellent introduction to the thinking of Caleb Gattegno. For me the single most important educator.
Place in HLT
Adrian’s and Jim Scrivener’s lasting gift to HLT is Demand High ELT: their idea of learning-centred teaching and the idea that language is a way for the learners to express their voices and speak from the heart. When asked to describe his methodology in just a few words, for Adrian it is “to be alive, alert and relate to the people in front of me”.
