A learning organization is an organization skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge and insights.
-Garvin (1993)

“A ‘crumbling paradigm’ is a condition in which an institution or industry has outlasted its operating assumptions. The condition is detected when the business or the mission results of an industry or a company within an industry are flat or declining while more and more resources are consumed. When this happens, the institution or industry goes into an irreversible decline until a new operating model takes its place.”
- Lopez (2013)

8 Simple Rules1. Teach the students you have, not the ones you think you should have.2.The university can make you the instructor of record for
a given course, but it cannot make you any student’s teacher. Only the student can make you her teacher, by accepting you in that role.3.Never say you teach the subject matter, not the
students. The subject matter has nothing to learn
from you.4. The work you do for a course is less important than the work your students do. They learn less from it.
![Page 19: Sept. 5, 2014 Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546b722aaf79599d7d8b6619/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
8 Simple Rules5. It is essential to challenge your students, but it isn’t enough. You must also believe in them, encourage them, and guide their efforts. 6. We all want to believe we have some share in our students’ successes. Their failures we tend to regard as their own. Rethink this.7. Do not defend yourself against students’ responses to your teaching. Seek out their perceptions and work to comprehend them. Boredom, anger, silence, helplessness, apathy, rudeness, and resentment are all messages waiting to be decoded.8. Make learning fun.
- Miller (2014)
