LilliWorks Active Learning Foundation was founded by
parents of children with severe disabilities,
therapists and volunteers in 2001 and is a 501c3
tax exempt charity.
Mission
LilliWorks' mission is to advance Active Learning through
supply of equipment, education, outreach and research.
LilliWorks is dedicated to the Active Learning principle that "Everyone
Can Learn".
Background
Prior to LilliWorks, the AL equipment was only available from
Europe in European currency, making it impractical for American
school districts to obtain.
LilliWorks has obtained authorization and/or approval from
Dr. Nielsen for all of its offered items, and continues to have
a close relationship with the founder of the Active Learning
approach.
LilliWorks Foundation has in the past focused upon supplying Active
Learning equipment, and held a major convention in 2005.
As we have made progress in the equipment and financial aspects,
LilliWorks is shifting focus to include more research, outreach and
community support.
Active Learning Activities
Active Learning Forum Group
The Active Learning Group is a Yahoo email group that is now
moderated with Diane Montgomery, a teacher who has been
practicing Active Learning for years. We'll get the best
possible answers to your questions, including asking Dr.
Nielsen, herself.
The last continental AL convention was the first NAALC, held in Feb. 2005,
in Oakland, CA,
and was Dr. Nielsen's final training. LilliWorks has a
project to make available the videotapes of this training.
NAALC II is in the preliminary planning stages.
Interested parties should email
info@LilliWorks.org
for notices and to contribute to this major community event.
Sponsorships, without financial obligation, are available.
LilliWorks seeks to support research on Active Learning
and has a current project to study Resonance Board
enhancements.
