Action Taken

"In the PYP, it is believed that education must extend beyond the intellectual to include not only socially responsible attitudes but also thoughtful and appropriate action.  An explicit expectation of the PYP is that successful inquiry will lead to responsible action, initiated by the student as a result of the learning process."

 Gladly, Grade V conceived during their street play and took an action of formulating their own "Indian Government Awareness Organization" for people who lost everything in natural disasters. They provided a precise description of actions that demonstrate responsible citizenship and provided significant reasons why these examples are important. It is intended that the person taking action will grow from the experience, and that the process of taking action or not will contribute to each student establishing a personal set of values. Students of Grade V A were successful in doing so.
