It needs to listen to itself, it needs to listen to the environment and it needs to those who perhaps are outside of their particular situation, who can bring experience and learned wisdom into that dialogue. <strong>Kenneth Goh </strong> They are a fantastic learning resource, I have seen some very good teaching resources in my experience, and I will say that this ranks as one of the best.
