Thanks Larry – I’m glad you found it useful for your research.

I agree that stage-based models in general (including ones like age-based stages of development) are simplistic in the idea that you move through a threshold and suddenly are in another stage. It’s messy, overlapping, and sometimes non-linear. I think that’s particularly true with unconscious competence. We can be unconsciously competent for a few weeks, then suddenly we start feeling very self-conscious and as if we’ve “slipped back a stage”. Baseballers who fall out of form is a good example of that.

I appreciate the feedback on the typos. They’ve been fixed.

Best,
Chris

I particularly like your Examples, Emotions at this Stage, and Role of the Educator sections. Greatly appreciate the additional resources and am looking forward to learning more about Kort’s emotional learning spiral. I would add that while this tiered framework is an excellent conceptual, sequential model, the actual journey is more of a continuum of motion among the stages, and sometimes a blend of more than one stage. In the chart on the Five Stages/Levels of Learning, did you mean to say the explanation for stage two is “I know that I do don’t know,” or did you mean to say “I know that (or what) I don’t know”? In the Summary, I would reword “They can reflect on what stage a learner is at” to something less slang, such as “They can reflect on a learner’s or consumer’s stage…” FYI, it looks like a typo snuck through when you referenced Broadwell as “Brodwell” under “FAQ: Are there four or five stages?” (Hope this helps!) Thanks again!
