The link below – I republish it here like once a month as a reminder – holds one of the master keys, in my opinion, to TPRS. No joke.
I see what is expressed in the article as connected to the new thread about the grove of trees, how we cannot learn a language unless we learn to listen to each other, and how the group dynamic of a TPRS class, any class, must be based on the group facing together in the same direction and working shoulder to shoulder towards a common goal, which action Saint-Exupery calls love.
I feel very good to be pursuing this thread. It is like I found something, an unexplored room in the TPRS building. Now somehow when observing Zach last week I got the key to the room – the room of helping everyone in the TPRS classroom become aware of each other (the jobs play a role in that), and how that can change the dynamic of a TPRS class for the better, like a lot.
So this is just part of this thread, which we could probably talk about for a long time as we each dig deeper into the TPRS onion. We can label the thread “communication as awareness of each other”:
