An Innovative Learning Model: The Impact Learning Model

An Inno­v­a­tive Learn­ing Model

Recent stud­ies show that effec­tive learn­ing depends over­whelm­ingly on the sup­port pro­vided before and after train­ing. Impact’s pro­grams incor­po­rate an inno­v­a­tive learn­ing sys­tem that turns the tra­di­tional train­ing model upside down and places the empha­sis on the entire learn­ing process.
