VIRGINIA’S TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

The word best supporting Virginia’s philosophy is environmentalist, as she is passionate about creating environments that are invitations to learn. “We are all thirsty for knowledge,” says Virginia, “so my role is to create learning environments (elearning, in person, or self-directed) in which people learn naturally, passionately, and voluntarily. The nature of the designed environment is learner-centered and learner-generated vs obligatory, mandated, or generic.”

If you are interested in Virginia’s presentations for either your own organization or any of your industry events (BTA, MPI, or other industry professional associations); contact her directly for more information.
