Discover the 9 keys our project is built on
SGD COMMITMENT
Building Blocks has an active commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The series establishes the Sustainable Development Goals as a framework which encourages committed citizenship and learning. It promotes awareness of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to achieve those global goals.
LINGUISTIC PLAN
The linguistic plan develops the communication skills, both spoken and written, necessary to build interpersonal competence. It provides students with the tools to describe, present, instruct, comment, defend or refute ideas, and more.
DEVELOPING THINKING
The development of critical thought is basic for the analysis and assessment of data. Building Blocks puts forward strategies to stimulate reflection, creative thinking and decision-making skills useful in everyday life.
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
The cooperative learning methodology allows students to put their newly-acquired skills into practice while simultaneously benefitting from the progress their peers make. This key includes techniques which promote efficient teamwork and cooperation in a diverse society.
EMOTIONAL EDUCATION
Building Blocks offers tools to develop self-awareness, and emotional management techniques for this complex educational stage. Emotional skills are basic to face everyday challenges and achieve social and personal wellbeing.
ENTERPRISING CULTURE
This key promotes entrepreneurial thinking in three different capacities: personal, social and productive. Students will acquire the necessary resources to develop creativity and innovative thinking and will be more prepared to take on responsibilities and show initiative and leadership.
ICT
ICT are a fundamental source of information; however, knowing how to properly select and use them is key. Building Blocks integrates the use of information and communication technologies within the learning process in a responsible, intelligent and ethical way.
ASSESSMENT
Building Blocks incorporates strategies which allow students to assess their own learning, analysing what they have learned and how they have learned it. Learning to learn gives students the skills needed to reach their full potential.
