The Education Strategy Within Lasting Forests

The Delta Educational Strategy is to develop optimal teaching-learning environments (room size, seating, color, training aids, audio-visual facilities, and optimal field plots and demonstration). The Delta strategy seeks out those optimal devices and environments, creates them, resist use of extra or sub-optimal equipment and demonstrations, and improves education facility use.

The novel criterion of the strategy is production effectiveness, i.e., maximum units of pre-specified behavioral change per dollar (or unit of energy) per hour. The strategy includes:

• Making available computer-managed and computer-aided instruction.
• Creating one or more optimal teaching learning environments.
• Creating a "strategic situation room."
• Conducting applied research in teaching aids.
• Selecting optimal siting and developing field labs and demonstration areas.
• Using un-timed instruction and distance learning augmented by the web.

The facility, proposed to be with System Central is only one part of a complex, high intensity educational program, largely self-taught, to bring citizens into an advanced educational status. A for-profit educational system is to be developed. A key element of the program is to teach the teachers about optimal wildland conditions. A plan is available. There is a major educational aspect to all parts of Lasting Forests and all employees must understand the system. Work with Competency is related.
