Joye's Books

   Learning By Dialogue was created by educator and trainer Dr. Joye Norris. While earning her doctorate in Counselor Education at NC State University, Joye began teaching adult literacy classes and discovered her passion for adult education. It wasn't too long before she found the method to match the passion! She studied with Dr. Jane Vella, a pioneering and courageous teacher and mentor to hundreds of others who always knew lecture just wasn't the best or most respectful way to teach.

   For the past decade, Joye has been combining her background in human growth and development with the exciting teaching methodology that raises all voices, elevates people, and gets concrete results.

   Nutrition educators, community organizers and community development specialists, nurses, literacy instructors, meeting management professionals, peer lending groups, and various associations have improved their designing and teaching skills through Learning By Dialogue.

   A participant in a Learning By Dialogue workshop shared with a group of teachers for youth-at-risk what the word "encouragement" meant. "It means to put passion in the heart!" Joye strives to put passion in the hearts of educators and trainers- a passion for learning, for teaching, and for tapping into the tremendous potential of their learners- and themselves.
