Growing a Culture of Learning (Part 10 of 10) - The care & feeding of your culture of learning

Through learning we re-create ourselves. ~ Peter Senge, 2006

As illustrated in the graphic, all 7 elements of the culture of learning are important. Trust must be established first to support the risk-taking involved in the other elements. Support is critical to make the other elements happen. The elements are habits that you are planting for yourself and your learners.

Peter Senge (2006) said, “When teams are truly learning, not only are they producing extraordinary results, but the individual members are growing more rapidly than could have occurred otherwise.” That’s what happens when a culture of learning is growing!

To truly grow this culture you must commit, virtually or in person. At the end of each week, check in with yourself:

• What worked well this week and why?
• What was challenging and why?
• What might happen next week if …?

Feel free to check-in with us. We’d love to support your progress!

Cultivating learning takes the right conditions. Create a plan for growing your culture of learning:

· Identify strengths and leverage them to help with other elements

· Determine where to start

· Identify next steps

Let us know what you’ll do tomorrow!
