ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of critical elements in the author’s own education and uses that to frame an argument for multiple, redundant opportunities to master the eight competences through learning by doing. Because the range of potentially effective learning opportunities available to different students outside school will vary, the notion is introduced of a need for each student to have an advisor who knows what kinds of learning opportunities exist in and out of school and helps the student to engage a relatively optimal selection of those opportunities.
