    It is amazing how much effort actually goes into “paying attention”. Until reading this chapter and listening to the classroom lecture on attention controls, I never realized how daunting of a task focusing on the right thing at the right time could be. From getting ready for school in the morning to completing academic tasks throughout the day, there are so many opportunities for a child to become distracted or overloaded with information. Without having the proper attending skills to “conduct” our brains, children can miss out on valuable information they need to be successful in school. The student, Clarke that Dr. Levine described, reminds me a lot of a first grade student I used to work with in the classroom.…

    In Part III, Senge discussed in detail the four core disciplines for building the learning organization: personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning. As to personal mastery, Senge emphasized that the primary asset of organizations is people and that their potential needs can be tapped to the advantage of the organization. Personal mastery is about continuously learning to live creatively rather than reactively and recognizing where one is going and why. Thus, people with personal mastery have an underlying sense of purpose, they know how to work with forces of change rather than resist change, they are inquisitive and though they are individuals, they feel more connected to other people and processes. As such, people may see work as sacred (i.e., of value in itself for enhancing lives) rather than instrumental (i.e., to earn the money to live a full life outside work).…
