Learning Code Blueprint™

Learning Code Blueprint™

You already know something's off.

Your learner shuts down during math but builds elaborate worlds in the backyard. Your teaching rhythm feels like pushing against a current. You've tried different curriculums, different schedules, different everything, and the resistance keeps showing up.

It's not a discipline problem. It's not your fault. Often it's a mismatch between how your learner naturally engages and how the learning is offered. Once you can see the pattern, you know where to begin.

What the Learning Code Blueprint™ Is

It turns your learner's free Learning Code™ results into a clear, personal starting point: the door they tend to try first, the second door that gives their learning its flavor, and one change to try this week. It's a starting point you test at home, never a label or a box.

Grounded in research on how people learn and 20+ years of master teacher observation. One purchase covers up to 3 learners in your household.

For every age. Use it with learners from kindergarten through 12th grade, and with teens and adults who want to understand how they learn best. Learners change as they grow, so we invite families to revisit the Learning Code™ once a year.

What's Inside

A personal Blueprint for each learner

• The door they tend to try first, and their second door, among the six Learning Archetypes™: Explorer, Builder, Alchemist, Systems Thinker, Steward and Visionary
• How they may learn best, one thing to try first, what to watch for, and a way to stretch
• What their first and second doors look like together
• Up to 3 learners in one Blueprint, sent by email right after purchase
• Haven't taken the Learning Code™ yet? Start With the Learning Code™. It's free, and each learner's pages arrive by email soon after they finish.

Your Guide Style

• When you answer the Guide Style questions in the Learning Code™, your Blueprint adds a note on how your way of guiding meets each learner, with one shift to try

Your Learning Code™ Guide (20-page PDF)

• One page for each of the six archetypes: what you may notice, what helps, what to try, what to watch for, and how to stretch
• Blends, ties and close scores, and how to read them
• Ways in for science, math, reading and writing, projects, planning, collaboration and independent learning
• The 7-Day Learning Experiment, to test one small change and keep what helps
• How the Learning Code™ fits with academic standards, and the research it draws on

Across the Grades, K–12

• What each of the six doors can look like in grades K–2, 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12
• A Family Learning Map for learners of different ages exploring one shared theme, each through their own door and at their own depth

Bonus: The 2-Hour School Day™, Six Ways In (8-page PDF)

• The four-block day at a glance: Anchor, Core, Discovery and Reflection
• The same focused day, run through each of the six Learning Archetypes™, so you can lead with each learner's first door
• Sample days for grades K–2, 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12
• How to teach more than one learner at once, and what to try when a week wobbles

A Blueprint that grows with your family

• Add a learner or retake the Learning Code™ later, and your updated Blueprint arrives by email, with every learner together
• Two short emails in your first week: what to notice on day 3, and how to try the second door on day 7

When should you revisit the Learning Code™?

We recommend revisiting your learner's Learning Code™ once a year, with an optional retake after a significant developmental, educational or life transition.

Halfway through the year, pause and reflect rather than retake. Between visits, keep noticing how your learner approaches challenges, discovers interests, develops independence and shows what they understand.

The purpose isn't to confirm an archetype, or to measure whether one has become stronger or better. It's to notice how your learner's combination of learning tendencies may be evolving.

Revisit your own approach, too. As learners grow, the way we guide, support and challenge them can grow with them.

The Learning Code™ is a snapshot. The years tell the story.

The Real Shift

Most families don't have a curriculum problem. They have a fit problem.

Your learner isn't resistant. The way in just doesn't fit yet. Start with the door they tend to try first, watch what changes, and keep what helps. That's how learning starts to feel like their own again.

This Blueprint shows you the who. The Crazy Science Series™ gives you a place to try it this week, one experiment at a time. And when you're ready to build the whole year, the Family Learning Plan is where we design it together.

Built For

Homeschoolers. Unschoolers. Co-ops and microschools. Curious parents who sense their learner was designed for something the system can't see. Learners from kindergarten through 12th grade, and the grown-ups who guide them. Through play. Through nature. Through wonder.

Instant digital access. Your Blueprint arrives by email right after purchase, and your Guide and bonus pages download from your order.
