About
The Institute for Collaborative Learning
The Institute for Collaborative Learning (i4cl) is a training and consulting collaborative of dedicated professionals who share a similar philosophy of education but have a broad range of experiences to draw upon. Incorporated into the institute is the work and history of the Centro Espiral Mana (CEM), a training center in Costa Rica that, since 2001, has provided transformational learning experiences for teachers, leaders, and staff from ministries of education. The institute is proud to include CEM; to build on its legacy of humanistic, collaborative training and development; and to bring CEM’s transformational approaches to individual and organizational learning to a broader audience through our expanded work.
