A Moral, Social and Emotional Learner

This is a learner who has the ability to reason through tough scenerios and think for themselves in all situations. They can inquire about information in all environments. They acknowledge the need for group colaboration and have the skills to construct their individual knowledge from the combined knowledge of the group. Our belief is classrooms can facilitate this type of learning in all students.

Social Experiences Page:

Searching for the best examples of learning from the environment around you. Looking for good vicarious learning experiences, adding depth to their knowledge. Teaching the process of how to learn from the social, emotional and moral knowledge around us.

Development and Methods Page:

Matching developmental milestones with age appropriate teaching methods is at the base of our model. These base models need to be a mesh between sound developmental research, good educational practice and the will to teach the students how to learn as a community.
