The Integrated Learning System - ILS
It is not what you learn, but how you learn that changes everything.
Our model offers students the unique opportunity to choose how they
would like to cover course material, and then decide for themselves,
how they would like to show they have learned their material. Students
can create clothes, powerpoint presentations, essays, media presentations,
or even create their own music video. Our experience has shown that
given the freedom, and the encouragement to understand how they
learn and express themselves students who otherwise have behavioural
issues become valued members of the learning community.
Living Education and the J-Pod Model Combined
Our teaching and learning model brings together two dimensions of
education—education as a personal journey and education for
the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Our goal is to encourage
education that promotes self-discovery, environmental awareness,
and social responsibility. Our model uses effective group dynamics
to focus attention and help develop personal skills necessary to
be life long learners and healthy, happy human beings.
The model is based on the learning model outlined in The Power of
the Circle, and the Living University’s Transition Program
and it is integrated with the jPod Model of self-directed learning
created by the team at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in the Toronto
District School Board. jPod is one of the original Learning to 18
Models supported by the Ontario Ministry of Education. jPod is founded
on the principles of Appreciative Inquiry: constructionist, simultaneity,
anticipatory, poetic and positive.
Critical skills - thinking, writing, speaking.
This educational model combines both theory and application as students
are encouraged to learn in an experiential setting. Students learn
to write, to present, and to look at their subject from a wide variety
of angles. This is a model of education that empowers students to
exercise self-discipline towards a positive future, develop healthy
self-esteem and work habits, and through self-awareness transform
their lives. Our
Schedule:
We offer a variety of workshops to train teachers to use the Integrated
Learning System. Two day training sessions give teachers the tools
they need to implement this teaching style within the classroom.
Certification means you have access to our experienced team to think
through issues, and solutions in your classroom.
