The Five Foci of Learning
-
Interdisciplinary Study
Students learn to pull together ideas and concepts from many subject areas, which enables them to tackle real-world issues in all their complexity.
-
Collaborative Learning
Students develop knowledge and skills through shared learning, rather than learning in isolation and in competition with others.
-
Learning Across Significant Differences
Students learn to recognize, respect and bridge differences—critical skills in an increasingly diverse world.
-
Personal Engagement
Students develop their capacities to judge, speak and act on the basis of their own reasoned beliefs.
-
Linking Theory with Practical Applications
Students understand abstract theories by applying them to projects and activities and by putting them into practice in real-world situations.
