Phillip
Roy, Inc.
Teaching Your Students How to Learn
Phillip Roy, Inc.’s curriculum materials are outcome-based.
- Our curriculum materials are developmental
and include both what learners learn and what they are able to do at
the end of the learning process.
- Our curriculum materials emphasize
high expectations of what all learners can achieve.
- Our curriculum materials all include
a learner-centered educational process.
- While all of the curriculum materials
are outcome-based they also make the process of learning as important
as what is learned.
- Our curriculum materials are activity-based
to promote problem-solving and critical thinking.
Phillip Roy, Inc.’s goal is to produce life-long learners
who are:
- Confident and independent.
- Literate, numerate, and multi-skilled.
- Compassionate, with a respect
for the environment and an ability to participate in society as critical
and active citizens.
We integrate education within and across learning areas so that learners
are provided with activities to apply knowledge and skills within and
across all areas.
We enable learners to:
- Communicate effectively using
visual, mathematical and language skills.
- Identify and solve problems by
using creative and critical thinking.
- Organize and manage activities
responsibly and effectively.
- Work effectively with others in
a team, group, organization and community.
- Collect, analyze, organize and
critically evaluate information.
- Use science and technology effectively
and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and the
health of others.
- Understand the world is a set
of related systems.
- Reflect on and explore a variety
of strategies to learn more effectively.
- Participate as responsible citizens
in the life of local, national and global communities.
- Be culturally and aesthetically
sensitive across a range of social contexts.
- Explore education and career opportunities.
- Develop business opportunities.
Our aim is to empower learners to use their talents to achieve their
full physical, spiritual, intellectual, personal, emotional, and social
potential. We believe that learners should develop the skills to relate
positively and make a contribution to family, community and society, while
practicing the values of non-racism and non-sexism.
Our materials:
- Enable learners to make informed
decisions about personal, community and environmental health promotion.
- Enable learners to form positive
social relationships, respect different worldviews and exercise their
rights and responsibilities.
- Empower learners to achieve and
extend their personal potential to contribute positively to society
and cope with and respond to the challenges in their world.
- Promote physical development as
an integral part of social, cognitive and emotional development.
- Develop a positive orientation
to study and work and the ability to make informed decisions on further
study and careers.
We equip learners to live productive and meaningful lives in a transforming
society. We prepare students to face the challenges of socio-economic
development, which include an increasingly global economy, unemployment,
poverty and environmental degradation.
Students today are in a world increasingly different from the world their
parents lived and worked in. Crime and violence affect virtually every
school, community and individual learner. Within this context, learners
have to develop a sense of confidence and competence so that they can
live well and contribute productively to the shaping of society. And we
provide them with many of the tools that they need.
We also believe that personal and emotional development is central to
learning and the individual’s contribution to community and society.
We provide the learners with opportunities to develop survival and coping
skills and to reflect on and understand their emotional development, spiritual
awareness, self- knowledge, self-concept and self-worth.
Our materials provide the following outcomes:
- Learners are able to make informed
decisions about personal, community and environmental health.
- Learners are able to demonstrate
an active commitment to constitutional rights and social responsibilities,
and show sensitivity to diverse cultures and belief systems.
- Learners are able to use life
skills to achieve and extend personal potential to respond effectively
to challenges in their world.
- Learners are able to demonstrate
an understanding of and participate in activities that promote movement
and physical development.
- Learners are able to make informed
choices and decisions about further study and career choices.
