29. The Value of Active Peer Learning with Susan HayesCulleton

The Eric Chow Empowers Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Founder and CEO of Active Peers at BECKSearch, author, and speaker, Susan HayesCulleton. From my angle as a student, to her perspective as a business professional, we tackle the concepts of Active Learning & Peer Learning. Starting with why the both of us are interested in those topics and our experiences with them, we delve into the different strategies, issues, and environments that are involved with them. This conversation functioned as a two-way interview, with both of us asking each other questions and bouncing off of each other. This is a very different topic than what I have previously discussed on the podcast, but it is no less empowering. I believe that Active & Peer learning have fundamentally and significantly been beneficial for me and for everyone else, whether you know it or not. In fact, without some of the active peer learning strategies I have implemented, I believe that not only would I have performed significantly worse in high school, I also would have been absolutely miserable. Fortunately, that wasn't the case - and this episode will hopefully help you be more conscious about using this. Linked below are two blog posts I wrote for BECKSearch about these topics. http://activepeers.becksearch.com/my-first-experience-of-peer-learning-eric-chow/ http://activepeers.becksearch.com/how-to-maximize-ones-learning-with-peer-learning-eric-chow/ The following is a video Susan made about what BECKSearch does. https://youtu.be/mnY-Yf5YDYI You can find Susan on the BECKSearch blog and YouTube channel that are already linked, or on Twitter @susanhayes_ https://twitter.com/SusanHayes_ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ericchow/message
