Learning About Learning Foundation
Serie · 1971-1986
Parte de Cynthia Herbert Publications and Curricula

This series contains books, materials, and curriculum designed by Herbert, as well foundational writings and theory behind LAL's framework.

In 1971, Jearnine Wagner, with former Trinity students Cynthia Herbert, Sally Howell, Mary Jean McCullough, Charles Jarrell, Julia Jarrell, Johnny Gutierrez and later Susan Marcus, and Susie Monday created Learning About Learning Educational Foundation (LAL), a (501)(c)(3), affiliated with Trinity University. Herbert published books under LAL through Doubleday and worked on large scale curriculum projects, such as Profitable Thinking with the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and Working Ideas: A Resource Guide for Developing Successful Opera Education Programs with Opera America. Hebert and Jerrell directed the LAL's Lab School, a research and experiential learning center focused on recreating a school structure that was based on LAL's core philosophy of bringing different aspects of a child’s everyday life into play: family, home, community, knowledge, relationships with peers, in order to investigate one’s own creative strengths and map one’s own pathways to learning.
