A weekly series in which Emergence Personality Theorist Steven Paglierani explores ways in which we can restore our children's love of learning. And reclaim our own. http://www.theEmergenceSite.com/Emergence-Education-Learning.xml Copyright 2006 The Emergence Alliance Inc en-us Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:18:02 -0500 Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:17:12 -0500 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.1.0) http://www.feedforall.com This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to take an imaginary journey though a child's education. Starting with how fractals might alter her or his entire educational experience even before entering school. More important, we're going to take a brief look at how, in one New York school, parts of this new education are already changing children's lives. Their reading lives. Their writing live. And their lives in general. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070219.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070219.htm Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:17:12 -0500 Have you ever struggled to understand what a teacher was saying? Have you ever asked them if they could say it in a different way? This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to explore yet another aspect of how children learn. As well as another fractal. The one which most affects childrens' ability to learn language. Including how they voice what they learn. Sound intriguing? "It certainly is, Ollie." http://theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070212.htm http://theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070212.htm Sun, 11 Feb 2007 12:01:14 -0500 With all due respect, may I ask you something? Does your child have a learning disability? Would you be willing to bet your child's love of learning on that they don't? This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to take a brief look into the nature of "learning disabilities." Including that we all, to some degree, have them. I'll also show you a more accurate way to identify learning disabilities; brain learning paths. Otherwise known as the Four Emergence Decision Trees. Ready for some more fractals? http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070205.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070205.htm Sun, 4 Feb 2007 09:40:59 -0500 While brain researchers wrestle with the physiological secrets of the mind, EPT (Emergence Personality Theory) has already identified the four master fractals. Based on what? Based on the visual intensity of what we picture. This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to look at how these four master fractals dictate what we can and cannot learn. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070129.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070129.htm Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:29:13 -0500 All learning centers on one simple question; "How do I know if this is true?" Extending this into the classroom, we might also say, all learning centers on knowing if kids are interested. This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going explore how teachers might use the only legitimate small group truth test; "fractals," to better gauge their students' interest. We'll do this by exploring an actual fractal from Emergence Personality Theory, the "Face Fractal." http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070122.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070122.htm Sun, 21 Jan 2007 07:51:05 -0500 "Teachers on a Bad Day." What Makes A Teacher Boring?" What topics! What's next? This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to look at how teachers can use the third Social Priority from Emergence Personality Theory's, Personality Fractals, along with imaginary kayaks, to maintain their balance in the classroom. And their sanity. Sound promising? You can't imagine. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070115.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070115.htm Sun, 14 Jan 2007 11:24:56 -0500 Over the past few weeks, we've taken our first looks at Emergence Personality Theory's, Social Priority tests, including how they might be used to match students to their teachers. This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we're going to take a deeper look at how the Personality Fractals these tests create reveal both the "light" and "dark sides" of teachers and students. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070108.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070108.htm Sun, 7 Jan 2007 01:20:56 -0500 Last week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we took our first look at Emergence Personality Theory's, Social Priority tests, a simple test which could better match students to teachers. The test we looked at was "positively biased." This week, we're going to take a look at the alter ego tests, known simply as the "negatively" biased tests. "Positively biased" versus "negatively biased." What's the difference? Let's see. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070101.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk070101.htm Sun, 31 Dec 2006 22:40:59 -0500 Ever tried to persuade your parents they should get you moved to a different teacher? Even have them think that it was just you being a butt head? This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we're going to take our first look at the Emergence Personality Theory based fractal tests. This week, we're going to look at the ones designed for teachers. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061225.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061225.htm Mon, 25 Dec 2006 18:33:28 -0500 Ever wish you had a different teacher, because you just couldn't get along? This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we're going to look further into how fractal testing could be used to better match kids to their teachers. This time, we're going to explore a second aspect of Emergence Personality Theory, something called, the four "Social Priorities." http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061218.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061218.htm Sun, 17 Dec 2006 11:49:53 -0500 Even get a teacher you were badly matched to, a person who seemed to grate on your nerves from the first moment you laid eyes on her? This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we're going to be exploring some of the ways in which fractal testing could improve our kids' educations. Including how a fractal test taken from Emergence Personality Theory could be used to all but eliminate these student to teacher mismatches. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061211.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061211.htm Sun, 10 Dec 2006 11:53:49 -0500 Even been lumped into a group to which you didn't belong? Feels pretty bad, doesn't it? Why, then, do so many of us do this very same thing to our children's teachers? This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we'll be exploring some of the ways in which statistics can genuinely help us, especially with regard to how they can guide us in evaluating our kids' educations. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061204.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061204.htm Mon, 4 Dec 2006 12:10:45 -0500 Have you ever felt like you would go insane if you were forced to listen to one more minute of what a teacher was saying? I have. So what makes this happen? And is this pain necessary? This week, in our ongoing weekly series on education and learning, we're going to explore the many aspects of what makes a teacher boring. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061127.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061127.htm Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:11:46 -0500 Have do you feel when you have to take a test? Anxious? Excited? Worried? Angry? This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to take a first look at an alternative to statistically based academic testing, something I call, "fractal testing." Our goal? To find a non injurious direction we can take toward realistic educational accountability. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061120.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061120.htm Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:13:00 -0500 Do you own a computer? Then in all likelihood, you have read, or heard, the word, "RAM"; random access memory. Do you realize, though, that the technology this acronym refers to is relatively new? What I mean is, for a long time, computers retrieved data sequentially, not randomly. Why mention this? Because random access and sequential access are the two ways we access the information in our minds as well. This week, then, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to take a look at how these two ways ways of memorizing things affect how we learn. Beginning with a look at how well you know the English alphabet. Do you think you know it well? Let's find out. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061113.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061113.htm Mon, 13 Nov 2006 12:14:11 -0500 Have you ever asked yourself, what makes a good student? I have. Many times. I've also asked my self, time and again, if I, myself, am a good student. This week, in our ongoing series on education and learning, we're going to talk a bit about what makes a good student? Do you know? Are you a good student? Let's look together. http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061030.htm http://www.theemergencesite.com/Tech/FourStates-of-Learning-Wk061030.htm Mon, 30 Oct 2006 12:16:35 -0500
