About the Workshop
Education is too often confused with teaching, and teaching is often reduced to its lowest common denominator: the lecture. However, true education is much more than that. The Five E’s of Education model states the necessary and sufficient components of a complete educational package.
There is an important distinction between training and education. Training comes from the Latin root meaning to pull or draw, as in to pull something behind oneself. Training is instruction aimed at replicating what is already known. Training plays an important role in a world of increasingly complex technology, but it should not be confused with education.
Education is associated with the Latin root educere, meaning “to bring out, to lead forth.” Here the implication is that the learner is at the center of the action, and the process of education is to invite the learner into a wider world.
The aim of the model is to indicate the necessary elements in a process of true education. Although any one of the elements of the model can lead to useful learning, it is the combination that truly “brings out” the learner most effectively.
When designing workshops with the Five Es, use the model as a reference rather than a rigid template. Be aware that if you omit one of the Es, the learners may not receive the full benefit of the process. Be ready to facilitate experiences rather than leave the outcomes to chance or allow them to remain hidden. Then build in the time and intent to process the experiences you offer.
This LIVE online workshop is free to all participants.
Members of our TVW Learning Community on Mighty Networks will have access to the recording and resources, as well as the 25+ workshop sessions in our Model of the Month classroom.
