Welcome to this edition of Wavelength.

The weather is warming up at an alarming pace. At this rate I’d be putting away my woolens by the next week. Spring is lovely. Unlike winter it doesn’t inhibit action, and unlike summer it doesn’t make your mind go into an overdrive. Spring is a happy season. It colors everything in a beautiful youthful green. The sheen that covers every new leaf, tells us that the world isn’t a bad place at all...and that there’s a lot of innocence and love in it – you just need to look for it.

When we design and implement training programs, sometimes, we forget to look deeper. We don’t try to figure out our audience’s schema. Often we end up using our schema, with our correct or incorrect suppositions, and this results in ineffective learning for the participant.

The Mystery of the Month article for February helps us explore the schema theory. Read the Wavelength article, “Schema Theory & It’s Learning Implications” at http://www.vibrantwavelength.com/articles/schema_theory_and_its_learning_implications.htm
