Show Notes

Introducing Dr. Toby Lowe

FULL VERSION AVAILABLE HERE

Our latest episode, number 29, is with Dr. Toby Lowe on Human Learning Systems - and the show is almost an hour long! So if you're a little bit strapped for time, then we have cut up this shorter episode for you.

What I wanted to do with Toby was explore what it might mean to embrace human learning systems here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

So if you've got a commute or a moment to yourself and you just want to get to the core of what Toby was talking about, then this summary is for you.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

How do we translate Human Learning Systems into language that makes sense in New Zealand - or do we build our own?

Why it’s important to be ‘human to each other’ in a public service setting.

The importance of experimenting to create effective local solutions.

Thoughts on how we can invest our time and energy centrally vs. locally.
