Underpinning principles |
The value of science Science offers intellectual enjoyment which some people get from reading and learning and thinking about it, and which others get from working in it. Engaging with science offers ways of examining and decoding the world and methods for engaging with it rationally. |
Rigorous, accredited information Offering products from a consistent, credible and quality-controlled information environment. |
Learner-centered education Learner-centered education places the learner at the center of education. It places the responsibility for learning on the learner and it strives to be individualistic, flexible, competency-based and varied in methodology. |
Inquiry-based learning Inquiry-based approaches to learning focus on learner-constructed learning as opposed to authority-transmitted information. |
The Common Good The Common Good describes a way of behaving that is shared and beneficial to the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number of individuals. The idea of The Common Good challenges us to view ourselves as members of the same community and, while respecting and valuing the freedom of individuals to pursue their own goals, to recognize and further those goals we share in common. |
Ethical marketing Ethical marketing is an honest and factual representation of a product, delivered in a framework of cultural and social values (above) for the consumer. It promotes qualitative benefits to its customers, which other similar companies, products or services fail to recognize. |
