Apex International Academy and Innova Academy are two new schools planning to open in August 2017, challenging themselves to reimagine education in the ‘Second Machine Age’ by designing engaging physical and virtual environments that support forward thinking pedagogies.
Through achieving a balanced ‘learning ecosystem’, we aspire to realize personalized learning experiences where ‘learners pursue their interests, create meaningful products and take on responsibility for their own learning’. In this environment, learners and teachers will be connected and engaged with each other and, global communities and resources. In doing so, they will ultimately develop entrepreneurial confidence and digital competencies.
An essential goal of our Collaborative Online Learning Environment (COLE) is to effectively support the social and educational needs of individual learners and to allow teachers to provide personal guidance, so that learners are properly challenged, supported, and mentored on their learning journeys.
“Ultimately, we aspire to harness the unique qualities and strengths of both human beings and technology to transform learning’ and engage the next generation of passionate, confident and caring individuals."
Our presentation explores how we are setting about to create the virtual environment to support our vision.
When all the information in the world is available at the fingertips of every student then the key skills needed for success both academically and in the world of business and enterprise will be the skills of the self-regulated learner. At that point the development of self-regulated (self-managed, self-directed, independent, autonomous) learners will become the primary focus of schooling which will require all forms of transmission teaching to be replaced by process oriented, skills based, teaching. The ATL curriculum at both the MYP and DP levels has been designed with this idea in mind because this is not the future, this is now.
This presentation will focus on how the successful design and implementation of an ATL programme in any school could revolutionise teaching and learning, improve academic success rates and give all students the skills they need to create success for themselves in the 21st Century.
