Character Development and Servant Leadership

Play, Participate, Possibilities

Values for our Learning Process

At Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL), children's dispositions are revealed to us in their play, learning, and daily experiences.  The following five dispositions to learn reflect the image of a capable, strong, and resourceful child who is an agentic and active learner – a mighty learner and citizen.  The combination of “I/We” is used intentionally to remind us that care, play, and learning are always both individually and socially constructed.

1. I/We are playing and playful:
  • I/We are inventing, creating, and imagining.
  • I/We are creating and testing theories.
  • I/We are telling and directing narratives and stories.
  • I/We are exploring and representing our knowledge using multimodal literacies.
  • I/We are taking risks in/for learning.

2. I/We are seeking:
  • I/We are questioning.
  • I/We are exploring with all our senses.
  • I/We are wondering and are curious.
  • I/We are solving problems in our play and learning.

3. I/We are participating:
  • I/We are engaging with others.
  • I/We are listening to and sharing ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
  • I/We are negotiating, taking turns, and observing.

4. I/We are persisting:
  • I/We are persevering with challenges and/or difficulties.
  • I/We are trying new strategies.
  • I/We are asking for help.
  • I/We are striving to reach our own goals.

5. I/We are caring:
  • I/We are helping.
  • I/We are caring about our families, one another, and ourselves.
  • I/We are caring for the world and living things.

How shall we support our children in their learning journey? When we participate with children as co-learners, co-researchers, and co-imaginers of possibilities, we create responsive environments for children that reflect an image of the child as a mighty learner and citizen.
