"Appreciative inquiry (AI) is a major breakthrough in organization development, training and development and in "problem solving," in general. AI is based on the assertion that "problems" are often the result of our own perspectives and perceptions of phenomena, eg, if we look at a certain priority as a "problem," then we tend to constrain our ability to effectively address the priority and to continue to develop in our lives and work.
AI is a philosophy so a variety of models, tools and techniques can be derived from that philosophy. For example, one AI-based approach to strategic planning includes identification of our best times during the best situations in the past in an organization, wishing and thinking about what worked best then, visioning what we want in the future, and building from what worked best in order to work toward our vision. The approach has revolutionized many practices, including strategic planning and organization development."

Our mob knew we were taking a chance trusting the system of the white man...but this is like an annihilation of our culture.

"For the past 30 years the Simon Wiesenthal Center has played an important role in the efforts to help prosecute Nazi war criminals.
Now its chief Nazi-hunter, Israel director Dr. Efraim Zuroff, tells the behind-the-scenes story of how Holocaust perpetrators were tracked down, exposed and brought to justice-the trials and the tribulations, the successes and the failures-of the past three decades in his new book published by Macmillan on November 10, 2009.

In a dogme class, material-free learning takes place, if not in the real world, at least in the here and now, with participant-generated input. "Rather than preparing lessons, and marching the learners down a route laid out in advance, the dogme teacher is prepared for a lesson that is co-authored by the people in the room" (Meddings & Thornbury, 2003, para. 10). Stripped of all the icing (i.e., materials and syllabus), the class can get down to basics—natural social interaction or real communication.
We are teachers of English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL) who are committed to promoting a 'poor' pedagogy, that is, a pedagogy unburdened by an excess of materials and technology, a pedagogy grounded in the local and relevant concerns of the people in the room.

Community of practice scholarships for VET practitioners
NCVER is sponsoring VET practitioners to take part in a community of practice. The aim is to encourage a culture of research in VET organisations by providing novice researchers without any formal post-graduate qualifications the opportunity to undertake their own research project. Participants receive a $4 000 scholarship to undertake a work-based research project over 12 months. Each participant will be matched with an experienced mentor who will guide and support their research. The program has initially been funded for a three year period from 2008 to 2010 with Berwyn Clayton from Victoria University co-ordinating it. Approximately 10 scholarships are awarded each year. Applications for 2009 have closed. Applications for 2010 will be advertised at the end of 2009.
