The model is designed to engage learners and teachers in exploring what learners need in order to experience success and what the implications of this will be for teachers and educators. It is intended that the model should be used as a starting point to help learners and teachers make better sense of successful learning - from that point it is the teachers and leaders in schools who will take ownership of it and move forward with it to improve the quality of learning through a deeper understanding.
