Invitational Education (eLearning Example)
Section outline
-
Part B - The Practice
Part B is more focussed on how the theoretical concepts look, work and feel when put into practice.
-
Now we have identified the 'things' that can be inviting or dis-inviting, we are going to investigate the levels of "invitation-ality" (pardon the coined word) at which people can function.
Purkey mentions that while individuals may display practices and behaviours that span the four levels of functioning, it is the level at which an individual typically functions that determines their approach to life and their ultimate success in personal and professional living.
The levels you'll discover, provide a check system to monitor each of the Five Ps and that reflect invitational theory in action.
-
You've discovered that people (and possibly the other four Ps) can be inviting or disinviting on different levels.
This session will get you thinking about what it takes for people to develop the stamina and energy to function consistently at an intentionally inviting level.
-
This session discusses more about what it takes to be an inviting tutor.

Use the questions contained in this quiz to check that you have understood the main concepts covered so far.
