Identify and articulate your personal theory of learning through structured reflection and self-assessment.
Adapt leadership approaches to different learning environments, using context to guide strategy and decision-making.
Apply frameworks and tools to envision and build future-focused learning experiences and systems within your organization or community.
All of us carry explicit or implicit theories of learning. They show up in how we learn, how we teach, how we design learning experiences, and how we lead people and institutions.
In this course, you’ll surface your own assumptions about learning through guided self-assessment, then sharpen them into a clear, usable personal theory of learning. From there, you’ll zoom out to examine how different organizational structures—from schools to companies to nonprofits and beyond—reveal (and reinforce) the learning philosophies they claim to hold.
This course isn’t only about education systems. It’s about the broader world of learning, and the leadership choices shaping it. As the sector undergoes transformation, fundamental questions are being reexamined: How do people learn best? What is worth learning? Who gets access and why? You’ll explore leadership approaches that fit different learning environments, and gain practical tools to imagine and help build the future of learning in your context.
