Notes for an Induction Course
This page consists of notes for preparing learners to work in auto-didactic learning teams. As a result, learning is assumed to be a reciprocally-supported and co-creative process. We are accustomed to thinking of teams as working groups that operate within corporate hierarchies. This means they have externally assigned missions and/or goals. They also have team leaders who steer their processes toward pre-determined outcomes. However, the primary purposes of a co-creative learning team are to survive, thrive and learn. If their work happens to generate useful outcomes for others this would be a welcome bonus. Each team should therefore be a safe space for playful and unimpeded co-inquiry and innovation. Co-creativity seldom results from pressure or coercion, so teams are likely to be holocratic. This is a challenging task (see team effectiveness) as it means achieving and maintaining a state of leaderless co-creativity.
