BUILDING A CULTURE OF SHARED HUMANE™ VALUES. BY DESIGN

HUMAN BY CHANCE, HUMANE™ BY CHOICE

Research has proven that organizational culture is a key element of school success. We recognized that often schools ignore the importance of culture building amid the pressures of academic performances and college placements.

RLC believes that a Systems Approach cultivates a desired value system across a school, where school leaders, teachers, students, parents and support staff speak the language of a shared-culture.

When principals and school-teachers onboard the journey with RLC to transform their schools, they recognize that building a culture of Shared-values is possible.

BECOME A HUMANE™ SCHOOL

AN EDUCATION FRAMEWORK DRIVEN BY DESIGN THINKING

WHY HUMANE™

Empathy – The importance of understanding the ‘who ( user ) and the why’( context ) before addressing to the ‘what ( problem ) and the how’(solutions)

Ethics – The importance of understanding the difference between doing what is 'right' over what is 'easy' - and taking responsibility for actions, behaviors, and decisions.

Excellence – The importance of understanding that the pursuit for excellence (quality) is the intentional act of honing the skills and knowledge to do so effectively.

Elevation – The importance of understanding that the greater good is founded upon cultivating an 'abundance' mentality - we are not here to 'compete' but to 'complete' each other.

Evolution – The importance of cultivating a 'growth mindset' - that we are a 'work in progress' and that 'reflection' and 'feedback' is essential for personal and collective evolution.
