Kramlich, Deborah J.; Cunliff, Ed; Sathe, Laurie Anderson; Zakrzewski, Tes C.; Romano, Alessandra; Longmore, Anne-Liisa; Brunstein, Jannette; Marsick, Victoria – Learning Communities Research and Practice, 2021
Research around learning community models often shows a structured and defined model to follow with the underlying assumption being if the steps are followed, the results will come. The model we offer in this paper is rather counter-cultural as it was not a specific process or practice we followed; rather, we found ourselves in a highly engaging,…

Hirokawa, Randy Y. – 1976
