Educational Methodology

The ideas and distinctions on which Landmark Education’s methodology is based, and the results it has produced, make Landmark a leader and innovator in the field of training and development. Landmark’s technology is drawn from a rich tradition of thinking and research that spans a number of disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, and cognitive science. Landmark Education continues to evolve and develop its unique educational methodology. Similar to riding a bicycle, in Landmark’s programs you learn by direct personal discovery – a moment occurs when a new ability is yours. You become confident in what you’ve learned, and the new ability is yours forever.

The Landmark method is more like coaching than teaching; more like conversation than lecture. While conventional education methods focus on content (adding facts, rules, or skills to our knowledge), the Landmark method deals with context – the framework(s) in which content can exist.
