A Personalized Journey with Intentional Learning Experiences

As we think about building an ecosystem of learning, we look at the different experiences through a framework of Awareness to Ownership of learning. Each learning experience supports different stages of that framework and are connected through the targeted outcomes of that initiative for sustained change in practice.
