BANGKOK, THAILAND – Adam Prance has been an educator in international schools for the past 7 years.  After becoming frustrated with the limitations of the public education system (while recognizing its value and importance), he has developed his own education project with the aim to both teach English to Thai adults, and to introduce them to the ideas from The Art of Learning in hopes that they will encourage their children to develop a growth-oriented mindset.

The Art of Learning, in my mind, is the most practical and nuanced exploration of performance and training that I have come across,” explains Prance. “Many of the principles are not new, stretching back thousands of years; but what TAOL does is make them relevant to the modern world with a powerful narrative. The work of Carol Dweck exposes the mistakes made in the so-called self-esteem movement and Josh Waitzkin’s own experience demonstrates these principles in action. “

This 20 session program will introduce students to each of the learning principles outlined in the book, connect each principle to real life scenarios, and provide the participants with practical actions they can take in their own lives to begin to internalize the concepts. The program is expected to work for participants of Intermediate level (B1) and higher.

Each session will work through a PowerPoint covering a learning principle in addition to exploring the grammar and syntax of some sentences. The session leader will share personal stories from their own life and participants will be encouraged to do the same if they feel comfortable, as well as answer questions that dig into the concepts.

“Thailand is a rapidly modernizing country with a very traditional education system (often with up to 50 students in a class). Many in the younger generations recognize the shortcomings of “chalk and talk” education and want to counter the potentially damaging consequences on their own children – or on themselves.”
