Working and Learning Out Loud
Knowledge and the sharing of knowledge form the core of Extension…
Therefore encouraging individuals to seek out, make sense of, contextualize, and share new knowledge is critical to the success of our organization.
If knowledge is the currency of Extension, then
individuals must be encouraged…
to seek out new sources of knowledge, place it within the
context of their work….
and share with others within and outside of our
organization
