Student Voice Slides

Hello Colleagues,

Thanks for your time, attention, and input in yesterday’s sessions. Please find the paired down slides from the student voice portion (sans photos) in this location. Here are our working definitions of learning at NIS for your reference:

At NIS, learning is an on-going process that is personal, social, and leads to the development of new, deeper understandings that can be applied creatively in the world beyond the classroom.  
 

 With this in mind, we believe individuals learn best when they…
…are appropriately challenged and motivated. 
…have authentic voice and choice in what and how they learn. 
…are authentically engaged in the context of our community and host nation. 
…are encouraged to follow their curiosity and inquire into the world around them. 
…are empowered to take risks and learn from mistakes in a supportive, caring environment.
