New Cultural Model
The Learner at the Center- The best expert on the learner is the learner

Listen to the Learner
Need an army of listeners to hear and make meaning out of what you hear

Design Template  - 6 P's
1. Preparation

One of the most powerful predictors of success - are you ready to learn - preparedness
Insist of preparedness

Include someway for learner on the front end to know if they are ready.  Why not free?  Autoregistry one hours of work to show you are ready and if not, what you need to do to be ready.  Every student every learning environment.

2. Place
Community
Sense of Belonging
Social Capital

3. Pathway
Most powerful learners are medical students (structure)

Those in most need are given too many choices without structure.  "Here's 6000 classes for you to choose from"

"That's malpractice" Need pathways for curriculum that's intended to take them someplace.

Metastucture--fewer pathways more structure

6 pathways for AA's metamajor (business, liberal arts) narrow choices early so they can broaden them later.
