Student Action Plan
The ACTION CYCLE is an important component of the PYP. At Upper Blue we encourage students to act on what they are learning through the action cycle: REFLECT, CHOOSE, and ACT. By reflecting on learning, students then can make a choice and take action.
Student initiated action is an extension of their learning. Action demonstrates deeper thinking, it might mean doing something, But it could also just mean have a different understanding... Whatever the action might be, it should be an extension of their learning.
If you notice your child taking action RELATED TO THE CURRENT UNIT OF INQUIRY, please fill out the slip at home with your child after he/she has completed an action and send it back to school.
What was the student action?
- Doing = Because of your new knowledge have you DONE something?
- Having = Because of your new knowledge do you have MORE of something?
- Thinking = Because of your new knowledge have you THOUGHT differently? Changed your mind? Wondered? Inquired?
- Saying = Because of your new knowledge have you SAID something? Informed? Explained? Told? Discussed? Debated? Asked?
- Being = Have you BEEN a different person? Changed behaviors? Been more patient? More respectful?
- Feeling = Have you FELT differently? Empathized? Loved? Felt Inspired? Worried? Admired?
El CICLO DE LA ACCIÓN es un componente importante del PYP (Program Anos Primarios). En Upper Blue animamos a los estudiantes a poner en práctica lo que ellos aprenden. Mediante el CICLO DE ACCIÓN: REFLEJAR, ESCOGER, Y ACTUAR. Reflejando en lo aprendido, les permite a los estudiantes poder escoger y después actuar tomando acción.
Cuando el estudiante toma la iniciativa, eso es una extensión demostrando su aprendizaje. Acción demuestra pensamiento profundo, puede significar el hacer algo, pero también puede significar otro tipo de compresión. Cualquier acción debe ser el resultado del aprendizaje.
Si usted se da cuenta que su estudiante está tomando acción en RELACIÓN CON LA UNIDAD DE INVESTIGACIÓN ACTUAL, por favor de rellenar en casa con su hijo/a en formulario de ACCIÓN y regresarlo a la escuela.
