Participating and Contributing
By participating in and contributing to their learning, students are empowered to be responsible for their learning progress and have ownership of their
learning. This level of involvement encourages them to be active life-long learners.
Being actively involved in communities includes a capacity to contribute appropriately as a group member, to make connections with others, and to
create opportunities for others in the group.
