One of the theories you read about this week was Vygotsky’s social learning theory, which basically says that learning happens best in social settings where less experienced learners are in social proximity to experienced individuals. How might this perspective change the concept of Sunday school or children’s church used in many churches? What are the pros and cons of introducing social learning into such venues?

Write a paper that addresses the following questions:

• Is the strategy properly resourced?

• What evidence of nested strategies and plans can you find?

• What gaps or areas for improvement can you identify?

Additional clarification by Professor on Nesting strategies:

The word “nesting” or “nested” can be a little confusing. As IT professionals, you’ve probably seen processes or documents where information becomes more defined, more granular, more accurate as you progress from higher to lower levels. Think about requirements to design to code. That’s the way nested strategies work. Subordinate, or “nested” strategies provide more detail and actionable information in their particular area. IT strategies that support an overall corporate strategy are a good example.
