Film Courage: Tell us about your cognitive apprenticeship?
Jeff Kitchen, Dramatist / Author / Founder / Consultant: The cognitive apprenticeship is quite fascinating. It was something that I discovered just as I was beginning to create this particular training program. I had thought about it for a good couple years because I always taught in small hands-on groups and I didn’t see how to teach bigger groups because the material is complex and sophisticated enough that in my experience unless I got you doing it on your script that it was abstract enough so that even if you listen to an explanation of it then when you go home and try to do it on your own partially formed script you generally don’t have enough know-how and experience and just general knowledge and working know-how to use it across a broad spectrum of ideas. I spent a couple years trying to figure out how to teach larger groups and in the process of that I also studied the science of how people learn and that has grown and changed tremendously in the last 100 years and hugely in the last 50 years. They’ve figured out so much about the science of how people learn…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
