by Dr. Brian Higley

September 26th, 2014

Over the years, I’ve been asked by many people about the influences of our team’s H2O for Education program, so I thought I would post many of them here.  This list represents a sample of what we believe to be some of the most relevant work over the past 100 years or so in both (a) the field of long-term, meaningful learning and change and (b) the promotion of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness:
