The Learner-Centered Launchpad
Explore why learner-centered education is needed now and how to begin the shift by rethinking your role as an educator and how you design the learning environment and community in your classroom.
Included in this course are five downloadable tools to help you reflect on your learner-centered journey as an educator and what type of classroom environment and community you want to cultivate. As you complete each module, you'll gather examples and resources to define your educator philosophy and develop a learner-centered community-building strategy you can implement in your classroom tomorrow.
Whether you are new to teaching or have a deep practice of building community with your learners, this course will provide you with the strategies you need to take the next best step in your learner-centered journey.

At the conclusion of this course, you will walk away with three key outcomes.
Develop as a Learner-Centered Educator: I embrace a learner-centered mindset, take a reflective and collaborative approach to teaching and learning practices, and leverage resources (such as technology and curriculum) intentionally as a tool.
Utilize Flexible Spaces and Time: I create a dynamic and adaptable learning environment that supports all learners’ needs.

“Excellent course that cuts right to the heart of facilitating collaborative learning. Laser-focused with a ton of resources.”
“For those struggling to identify effective group dynamics and establish accountability in those groups, regardless of the learning methodology being utilized, this course will enhance your tool belt and improve your confidence in eliciting meaningful and authentic learning from all students.”
“This was one of the most productive asynchronous courses I've taken. It was a good mix of learning, examples, and taking action to help my class this week (or next). I want to review it again through the lens of adult learning to help me better shape professional learning for teachers at my school.”
