  • Blow Up the Silos: Must Read

Blow Up the Silos: Must Read

Your Must-Read article this month is “Blow Up the Silos,” the new Recommendation from LERN that was created by your fellow LERN leaders and colleagues.
It is now available in the LERN Club. Or email us at info@lern.org and we can send you the direct link.
The new Recommendation comes as programs try to cope with surges of work in critical time periods. The work surges are caused by the wave of in-person registrations already begun, staff cutbacks and difficulty in hiring part-time staff.
There’s separate Recommendations for small programs with 5 or fewer staff, and larger programs with 6 or more staff.
The Exclusive Members-Only Recommendations include a totally new 5 Step Model for addressing the work surge specific to the field of lifelong learning programming.
An Infogram visually illustrates the report, the first-ever LERN Infogram for members.
The report, Recommendations and Infogram are now available in the LERN Club. Or email us at info@lern.org and we can send you the direct link. Forgot your password to the LERN Club? Email us at info@lern.org
