LEARNING COLLEGE - Placing Learning First
Learning Colleges embed learning in the institutional culture as the highest priority.
As decisions are made, two basic questions are asked. These questions are:
- Does this action improve and/or expand learning?
- How do we know this action improves and/or expands learning?
