Space in education is such a natural fit. As many of you know I've been
using it as a teaching methodology at the University Level. I
even facilitated Business Law using OST. Many teachers are in pain
and limping through our education systems. If you remember after Michael,
Chris, Julie and I used OST in Alaska many schools used OST for their faculty
meetings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=820122119-10062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In two
weeks I am using OST with 130 - 9th graders. They want to leave their
middle school with suggestions and praise as they move on to high school.
Their middle school wants to incorporate their ideas into next year's strategic
planning. So I will spend an afternoon "playing" with them. This
also allows me to bring a couple of new OST facilitators along in a mentoring
capacity.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

also experienced negative intro, eg. by an Assistant Deputy Minister with
a group of 250 already demoralised and abused managers. But, yes, they found
their space and at the end of the very first day, expressed amazement at their
own renewed commitment and enthousiasm. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
