Learner-Centered Psychological Principles:
"Creating a Learning-Centered Culture" in collaboration with Madisonville
CTC District, Owensboro CTC District, Hopkinsville CTC District, and the
West KY CTC District.
Their objectives are: (as submitted by Henderson CC)
"The objective of this project is to pilot a process which facilitates the
achievement of participatory strategic planning with the goal of creating a
learner centered culture. Our goal is to involve key persons from KCTCS
including persons directly involved in professional development from the
system and at colleges in the Western Kentucky area, so that critical steps
of the process can be modeled and implemented elsewhere. Through this
collaboration with other colleges, future professional development
activities, targeted toward building our institutions' learning cultures can
be shared on a regional basis.
The project objectives are:
The methods for achieving these objectives will include a Focus
Group activity and a comprehensive professional development day for all HCC
faculty and staff and representatives of the Western Kentucky college
districts, facilitated by consultants of the Bob Pike Group. Following this
our local Professional Development Program will facilitate ongoing
workgroups and implementation activities and will work with professional
development representatives at other colleges of the Western Kentucky region
to facilitate modeling of this process at other institutions."

Objective 1: Generate a broad but integrated spectrum of potential
strategies for creating a learner centered environment at the colleges of
Western Kentucky with Henderson Community College as the lead college..
Objective 2: Systematically analyze the critical strategies based upon
evaluation of their strategic impact potential.
Objective 3: Define the relative strength or weakness of each strategy in
terms of the college's current capability in order to identify priority
attention as well as long term strategic planning. All KCTCS college
districts in Western Kentucky will be involved in the assessment of the
project and in application of the processes to their own college.
Objective 4: Collaborate with other colleges in the Western Kentucky
region, via the professional development function of those colleges (which
will be invited to participate in activities of this project throughout the
year) to explore mechanisms for extending this process to other campuses.
