Day 9 Gift - Learning Needs Choreography

Today’s Day 9 gift is a one-page reflection tool designed to help you think differently about learning design.

Learning Needs Choreography invites you to examine how intentionally your learning experiences are structured, paced, and guided. Inspired by the image of Nine Ladies Dancing, this tool focuses on rhythm, flow, and coordinated movement through a learning experience.

This reflection guides you to:

• Clarify the emotional and cognitive state learners bring with them

• Examine where learning feels smooth or disjointed

• Identify which elements of structure are present or missing

• Choose one small change to improve the overall experience

There’s no framework to memorize and no checklist to complete. Just a calm, thoughtful tool you can use on your own or with a design team.

If you design learning for adults, this reflection will help you create experiences that feel intentional, supportive, and engaging.
