Our new blog

January 15, 2013 Melanie Kahl
TheThirdTeacher+_bloghello

Every day we work to gather and share the stories of learning communities. And every day we work to develop our practice, and model our own learning ecology. Our new blog is the centerpiece of our evolving practice– as individuals and as The Third Teacher+ team. It acts as a place for us–a virtual sandbox for playing with and diving deeper into ideas. It allows us to share our reflective practice through our experiences, connections, and research.

Simple ingredients: Stories, questions, learning, & design

The adventure is just beginning, but we look forward to our blog being a place where we...

Share stories

People are storytellers–– we process, share, learn, and love through stories. Come and visit to find stories from the road, the studio, our friends, our clients, the world, and of the future.

Ask questions.

Our work is centered on inquiry – a curious disposition, rich questions, and reframed assumptions. Whether it is asking "how might we…" alongside our clients or setting the table for rich conversation, this blog will illuminate the questions we are pondering in our practice and of the world around us. 

Celebrate learning.

Yes, our clients are learning communities, but so are we –– as individuals and as a studio. Come peek into our learning and reflections in action– from our practice, research, and network.

Illuminate design.

Perhaps it goes without saying, we believe design is powerful. This blog will dive deeper into how the design mindset, design process, and physical design can be transformative for communities and organizations.

Join us.

Over the weeks and months, as you peek into our studio, bookshelves, minds, conversations, and experiences, we hope you’ll join us. Feel free to share your thoughts here and, as always, you can connect with us on twitter, facebook, instagram.
