PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MATTERS

Everyone uses their hands. Everyone thinks. It is in our nature to do so. However, not everyone uses their hands well, and not everyone thinks well. And that includes some of our top grade-achieving students. So here’s the challenge: How can schools interface the increasingly answer-rich and thinking-poor world of the internet with the increasingly demanding thinking and doing processes required to improve the quality of people’s lives, and how we sustain our planet’s vital resources? To do this, high-quality programs can be systematically cultivated. The Four Worlds Model is a pathbreaker. It supports the notion of greater relevance between schools and the world beyond, and it contributes to the formation of personal identity. The Model is simple, fun, educative and a terrific guide to facilitate otherwise awkward conversations where informed decisions are superior to hunches or guesswork. Join us and we’ll explore how to introduce the model to students and parents and how to use it as an aid in planning the most engaging of classroom lessons.
