One institution, three curricula and 1,600 approaches to learning: an experience for a large school

Abstract

“One institution, three curricula and , approaches to learning” seeks to provide our educational centre with a holistic organisation capable of fulfilling the needs and expectations of every member of our community. This main goal is basically fulfilled by implementing a number of projects and innovation plans, to achieve an improvement of academic results and a socially cohesive school. Through its own management software, the promotion of foreign languages, the introduction of recreational activities and the incorporation of new technologies in everyday work, the INS Baix Camp School is prepared to focus on the individualization of learning. The first objective was to promote project-centred knowledge acquisition, in which each individual takes an active part in his or her process of learning and becomes socially active in any school activity. The school set precise targets for each of the three general objectives of the educational project. Special attention was given to the areas with greater room for improvement. The teacher training schedule was devoted to the use of new technologies, conflict resolution and mediation, and group dynamics. The final processing of all the resources was devoted to solving the problems that had been previously detected, resulting in a strong holistic organization which aims at the individualization of learning.
