As you explore the Academy, you may notice that some modules are available immediately, while others are locked until you reach a higher level. This is intentional. The programme is designed to encourage not only learning, but also participation, reflection and the sharing of experiences within our community. You move to a higher level by earning points. You receive one point whenever another member likes one of your posts, comments or replies. To begin earning points, you could: • introduce yourself and tell us what brought you here; • share something you learned from a lesson; • describe an exercise you or your child tried; • ask a thoughtful question; • answer or encourage another member; • share an observation, insight or small success. Please do not feel that you must write something impressive. A brief, honest contribution may be valuable to many other members. The first levels are reached as follows: Level 2 — 5 points Level 3 — 20 points Level 4 — 65 points Level 5 — 155 points As you participate and other members appreciate your contributions, your points will accumulate and the higher-level modules will unlock automatically. This is not a competition. It is simply a way of building an active learning community in which members learn not only from the lessons, but also from one another. We look forward to hearing about your questions, discoveries and experiences.
