You will engage as a student, then as a teacher to both experience and begin designing your own learning experiences based on this unique approach of the "5-sentence Master Class." And we're sure you're at least a little curious to know about what those 5 sentences are all about. ​ Your 3-hour investment will be supported by 3, 1-hour live video group coaching calls during the Fall 2021 semester.
