Perspectives from the PYP Coordinator

19 August


Divergent thinking is the way Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert, believes that education must develop in the 21st century. His reasoning stems from the fact that we are unable to predict what will happen tomorrow in our world so how can we know what the world will be like when our students become working professionals. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme supports the development of divergent thinking in our students. They are encouraged to construct their own understanding, pursue their own personal inquiries and reflect on the ways they can be better global citizens. All of these things are happening in our classrooms at Chatsworth on a daily basis as the students learn to work cooperatively while being principled, open-minded risk-takers. Our open door policy and this year’s parent cafes will allow you to see your children in action as they develop the skills they will need to be successful in the world around them.
