Education is a mind and spirit broadening aspect of learning. It should be designed as a humbling aspect of development in which both teacher and student explore the vastness of knowledge and possibility—that which is known and that which is yet to be discovered.
In education the question is more important than the answer. The whole idea is to get learners—both teachers and students—to consider all the many possibilities of a problem, then apply judgment based on experience to discuss and implement creative solutions.
We educate to prepare firefighters for the uncertainties of future operating environments by allowing them to explore creative solutions in safe environments. This is where the possibility of empowering subordinate leaders and clear leader’s intent is often realized.
