In this workshop, we will share a spiral developmental approach that enables students to deepen 21CC across the levels through the school’s Applied Learning Programme, IXORA, anchored on sustainable living. Educators will get to learn strategies to foster key E21CC competencies such as adaptive thinking, inventive thinking, and effective communication in students through a school-based programme. Spiral developmental curriculum, a concept widely attributed to Jerome Bruner (1966), refers to a curriculum design in which key concepts are presented repeatedly throughout the curriculum, but with deepening layers of complexity or in different applications. Students are provided with opportunities to practise “adaptive intelligence,” which “is an interaction of person with a task from an individual to a collective, from achieving a short-term individual good to a long-term common good.” (Sternberg, 2021). The Design Thinking protocol is also used for students to communicate their ideas as they plan their projects on sustainable living.
Participants are given the opportunity to reflect and gain ideas from peers as to which E21CC are a natural fit to their existing programmes and how they can use the shared design consideration to enhance the development of students’ 21CC. Participants will get to discuss how students can be provided with various platforms to exhibit their 21CC as they advocate sustainable living.
