Enterprising Education
This series of four books has had huge impact on here and abroad. Besides the area of Enterprise Learning, the series has been popular in the areas of vocational education and business studies. Many have used the strategies and materials to engage students in general.
Enterprise Briefs
This book contains a vast range of ‘brief’s which are real-life undertakings pre-designed by teachers to target specific outcomes. Once accepted students have autonomy in managing the projects.
Enterprise Projects
This book contains detailed advice on facilitating real-life projects, based on student’s ideas.
This is a remarkable series of publications... remarkable for the discipline and depth it brings to experiential learning, which so often degenerates into learning by discovery or chance. Kearney's approach to education is at the very forefront.
