Our Definition of Learning
An SIS teacher genuinely embraces and understands our mission and the three core principles of learning within the SIS curricular framework.
Conceptual Learning
Conceptual Learning
Here students connect new, potentially disruptive, knowledge to prior understanding and to important concepts. They are equipped to construct and re-construct theories, directing them to understand the way things work and why things are the way they are. Thus, by testing their evolving theories in different contexts, students are able to refine them as they now possess increased explanatory power and to see when, where and how they can be applied.
Competency Learning
Competency Learning
Here students deconstruct expert performance and compare it with their own. They are able to identify the adjustments they are required to make. Finally, enabling them to practice a skill in order to refine it and make it increasingly reflexive.
Learning
Character Learning
Here students consider what particular dispositions and values would ‘look like’ when applied in specific authentic contexts. Thus, acting as a result of these considerations and reflecting on the effects of these actions.
Our Teacher Profile
The best way for our students to develop these principles, is by our teachers being able to understand, being competent, and possessing such character traits.
