THE ‘BOTH, AND’ MODEL
THE NEED
A recent study* demonstrated that whilst the current generation has the knowledge and awareness about global issues, they feel a lack of agency to act on their concern for the greater good. If any action taken, it is more by chance and not by design.
This gap is often the outcome of an either, or model of learning – where schools defer the importance of building a culture of empowerment amid the pressures of academic performance as a measure of success.
* Pisa data of 2018WHAT IF
there was an approach to learning that intentionally empowered all children with a deep belief that the purpose of education is to graduate young citizen leaders – with content AND character, passion AND compassion - the ‘both, and’ model.
BUILD A CULTURE OF SHARED I CAN VALUES.
BY DESIGN
INTRODUCING THE
I CAN SCHOOL
The I CAN School is set of training programmes created by RLC to move a school from an ‘Either, Or' to a 'BOTH, AND' model. Each programme is designed using a systems approach to intentionally cultivate the I CAN MINDSET in children.
RLC takes it's inspiration from The Riverside School, which has used the design thinking framework of Feel / Imagine / Do / Share™ to design processes and practices that are timetabled to build a culture of empowerment. These processes have been globally recognized and successfully implemented in schools across the world.
GET INSPIRED
We have curated a set of videos that highlight the processes and practices we follow to intentionally build the I Can mindset in every child. You can also visit our YouTube channel for more inspiration.
