21st Century Competencies
Teachers in our school use Knowledge Building principles and pedagogy to engage students in e-learning. This pedagogy is premised on collaborative processes which involve knowledge creation and innovation. Our philosophy is based upon knowledge building research by the esteemed Dr. Bereiter and Dr. Scardamalia (2022), which includes the advancement of community knowledge, ongoing improvement of ideas, discourse, use of authoritative resources, and the creation of meaningful artifacts. Our goal is to engage students in higher order thinking including critical thinking, creativity, innovation, collaboration, and communication skills, necessary to succeed in knowledge societies of the 21st century.
