Welcome to The Compass School’s Blog —
a space dedicated to exploring the insights and ideas that inform our educational practice and philosophy.
Here, we delve into the core principles of TCS, examining their practical applications within our organization and beyond. We'll offer valuable resources for parents, families, and educators interested in the deeper philosophical context of TCS and a more robust understanding of our approach. Join us as we unpack the foundational concepts of TCS and their impact on learning and growth.
Nurturing Compassion through Attribution Theory
Compassion, at TCS, is more than just a feeling; it's a guiding principle shaping how we interact and build community.Cultivating compassion is fundamental to creating a kind, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. We achieve this by helping students understand Attribution Theory, which explores how we explain the causes of behavior – our own and that of others.
Cultivating Curiosity and Promoting a Growth Mindset
Over the coming weeks, we'll unpack each of our core values. This week, we explore how curiosity empowers learners to embrace a growth mindset. A growth mindset creates a safe space for children to ask questions, express their thoughts, and nurture their natural inquisitiveness. By promoting open-mindedness and a love of learning, a growth mindset empowers children to become joyful, intrinsically motivated explorers.
