Clean Success
As, long time friend and collaborator, Marian Way has announced in her Clean Learning newsletter – Liverpool John Moores University are on to their third clean cohort of University Students – they all start their year with
When you’re learning at your best you’re like what?
As you think about the past and the future, where are they? Do they have a size or a shape?
When you’re making decisions, that’s like what?
and build up a series of metaphor models, within a small network of peers, using Right Hemisphere AND Left Hemisphere learning – which I’ll talk about in my next post.

Clean Success – University is on to it’s third cohort of clean learners
You may know that we work closely with another ‘clean’ company: Training Attention. And one of the projects we have collaborated on is the production of three workbooks for the Sports Development Department at Liverpool John Moores University.
Groups of students explore topics such as: When I’m learning at my best, I’m like what? Making decisions is like what? How do you organise time? etc.
The first cohort who completed the three year programme achieved 73% 2:1′s or 1st class degrees – compared with the average of 49% before they embedded Clean into their curriculum.
This year – the second run through – the students achieved a 75% success rate!
And now, a leading educational publisher has said of the workbooks:
“My initial impression is very positive – I think that the need for resources around time management and independent study is keen and looking to get even stronger with widening participation in HE and the widening gap between the learning skills required of a university course and those exhibited by students entering these courses. The content and approach of the workbooks that you have developed is excellent and comprehensive, and I think that the tone, style and “voice” are right for the intended audience.”
