Today we get to learn again from Dr. Brad McLain.

You might remember my conversation with Dr. McLain about identity theory and the professional identities of informal science educators.

In this episode, we pick up the conversation where we left it and talk about Dr. McLain’s new book called Designing Transformative Experiences.

In his book, Dr. McLain leads experience designers through the  methodology he developed through years of working with employees, students, corporations, museums, and nonprofit organizations like Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots.

While you may recognize a transformative experience when you have one, do you know how to create one for the people you serve?

TALATERRA combines "tala" (Icelandic for "to speak" and "to talk") with "terra" (Earth)—because speaking for our planet and telling its stories is what environmental educators do.

TALATERRA: to speak Earth.
