DEFINITION OF LEARNING
Learning at KTS is a transformative process that leads to conceptual understanding, demonstration of competencies through application, and character development as seen through the KTS Core Values.
CONCEPT
I understand that…
Experts in any field have a deep conceptual understanding for what they do. By focusing on concepts as points of learning, we are able to transfer big ideas from one discipline to another. Students connect to new, possibly disruptive ideas, construct and reconstruct meaning to form new theories, and check their learning in new contexts to think and rethink big conceptual ideas.
COMPETENCIES
I am able to…
Experts in any field have well-developed competencies to bring their ideas to life. KTS learners continue to develop competencies through deconstructing expert performances and comparing to their own, identifying adjustments they need to make, and practicing skills to make them second nature.
CHARACTER
I am becoming (more)…
Experts have a deep sense of compassion for what they do and for the people they share their expertise with. KTS learners consider how their values may be applied in specific situations, acting as a result of these considerations, and reflect on the effects of their actions. At KTS our Core Values of Respect, Integrity, Caring, Inspiration, and Joy form the foundation of our character development.
