Full Day Institute
Title Taking Learning Beyond the Classroom
Programme Educators' Conference
Days Offered October 17th & 18th (Repeat)
Description Learning which is truly meaningful should have an impact beyond the classroom doors. Many international schools include some aspect of active citizenship or creating a better world as part of their mission, but how is this put into practice? In this workshop we will explore how to create an enabling environment and strategies that are more likely to lead to student action. Service learning and other ways in which these strategies and goals can be embedded into the school’s curriculum and practices will also be shared.
Objectives
  1. Strategies to heighten students' awareness and understanding of the communities around them;
  2. Developing students' efficacy (belief in one's own power to make positive change);
  3. Embedding these goals in curriculum and teaching-learning practices.
