Aims
Hierarchy of Mind
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. - attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt
Our aim with EducateONE is to develop students that have great minds, in which they think in ideas, and then think at a level of things and events, and finally at a level of people. By this, we mean, our goal is to have students not lay causality solely on people, nor solely on things and events, but to think in terms of systems that affect all of these, with appropriate nuance.
𔗇 Aims of Attainment
EducateONE follows the "Aims of Attainment" as a normative philosophical model outlining the objectives of different educational stages. It consists of major levels, each with its own unique aim:
- Level 0 (Preprimary) - Acclimation (Rose of Rising)
- Children become acquainted with their immediate family and surroundings as a foundation for lifelong learning.
- Level 1 (Primary) - Autonomy (Promotion Certificate)
- Targets foundational competencies for survival and basic life skills, preparing students for greater independence.
- Level 2 (Secondary) - Adulthood (High School Diploma)
- Focuses on preparing students for basic adult responsibilities, entry-level jobs, and further education.
- Level 3 (Tertiary) - Actualization (Associate & Bachelor Degrees)
- Aims for advanced skills and broader competencies so students can thrive in life.
- Level 4 (Quaternary) - Assisting Others (Master & Doctoral Degrees)
- Prepares students to contribute to their field and community, emphasizing the importance of giving back.
- Level 5 (Quinary) - Accomplishment (Laureate)
- Incorporates both formal and informal lifelong learning, with the peak recognition to those who are exemplars
This framework provides a roadmap for human development, from early childhood to lifelong learning. It should not be construed to limit what is learned at any level. For example while multiple language acquisition may not be necessary for the direct aim of Preprimary level, because of the neurological stage of development of students at this age, it is taught here, as it is the best stage to learn this. Further, secondary students may learn advanced competencies from higher stages as is best for them.
