PEAK Community Conversation: Emergent Learning
In 2021, PEAK unveiled a new strategic framework anchored in four ideas that will guide our work in the years ahead. One of those anchors is a commitment to “emergent learning” as a core philosophy, embracing an adaptive learning process to advance our Principles through our peer learning community.
The fall 2022 edition of the PEAK Grantmaking Journal will delve into the concept and practice emergent learning, which guest editors Melanie Matthews and Shantelice White, and Coeditor Chantias Ford, describe as “a philosophy and practice that values maintaining communal spaces where people can safely learn, practice, explore, and make mistakes in the pursuit of building knowledge and skills. Unlike traditional, linear modes of learning … positioning organizations to nimbly respond to complex and rapidly evolving operating environments.”
Join us for this Community Conversation to dive deeper into insights from the Journal, hear directly from our guest editors, and discuss with peers how you can champion a culture of emergent learning within your organization and across the field.
