ResilienceAbsorption • Managing Distractions • Noticing • Perseverance A resilient child is curious and eager to dig deeply into their learning and build an understanding between ideas. They do this by managing distractions in the learning environment, noticing and wondering about the world around them and persevering through challenges big and small.

Resourcefulness Questioning • Making Links • Imagining • Reasoning • Capitalizing A resourceful student creates their own best environment for learning through asking questions and making reasonable connections. They embrace challenges, take risks and utilize the knowledge available in their community and environment.

Relating Interdependence • Collaboration • Empathy and Listening • Imitation A child who relates is one who demonstrates empathy and compassion for members of their community. They are successfully able to work independently, with a partner and in a group. They observe and imitate others in order to grow as a learner. They listen to, value and consider opinions that differ from their own.

ReflectivenessPlanning • Revising • Distilling • Meta-Learning A reflective student regularly thinks about and makes plans for their learning in order to be the best that they can be. They make use of the available choices to independently direct their learning and they are able to explain their learning process. When presented with opportunities, they use them to help develop and refocus plans.

" You can't make children grow faster by pushing them, just as you can't make flowers grow faster by pulling them." Otto Weininger (OISE)

Documentation"Like a mirror, documentation reflects our practice and our theory. Like a beacon, it lights the winding path of investigation. Documentation allows us to look at the children's thinking through their representation, conversation and play."

We believe:● In the value of

being reflective practitioners.
