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:

  1. Does this action improve and/or expand learning?
  2. How do we know this action improves and/or expands learning?
