Methodology
Education 5.0
“Technology by itself has no purpose. It is an important tool, but the goal is in the knowledge and self-knowledge for a life project”, says the professor and director of technology Breno Gramacho.For this reason, we are constantly working towards making technology an ally for the education of our students.
Besides tutoring, we use data analysis and A.I. applied techniques to better understand how our students learn. This way, we can follow the student’s development alongside their families, seeing more clearly their needs and their strong and weak points, in order to mold and personalize teaching through educational technology.
A great example is how we use data analysis and automated systems to understand the teaching-learning process, motivating students to develop not only hard (technical) skills but also soft (social and emotional) skills.
Once an opportunity for development is identified, the school’s coordination provides lessons, pedagogic counseling and communication with parents and tutors. Besides having the support of the teachers, with acknowledged competence in the most disputed exams in the country, individualized attention allows students to not fall behind: they aren’t just another one in the crowd.
And what about social and emotional competences? One of our strong points is stimulating the students’ socioemotional skills, a set of competences that generate many benefits in the student’s life. With a now clear importance to the job market and personal life, skills such as pronunciation, creativity, emotional intelligence, project developing, autonomy, leadership and teamwork are not forgotten at Leffler. They all have proven to be as essential to the student’s life as mastering language, math, sciences and other areas of knowledge.
These skills are developed not only on a day to day basis, in the acquaintanceship and respect of teachers, teams and colleagues, but mainly in activities performed in the school, such as preparations for UN simulations, academic competitions and international challenges, for example. We offer to the students and their families a space of complete human formation important to the most distincts job markets.
“Here at Leffler, the tests are part of the preparation for the entrance exams, but the little we do everyday prepares us for life.” says Professor Breno Gramacho, referring to the process of accompanying the students’ development not only by the school, but also by the family.
To study at Leffler is to constantly discover competences and skills. “Here, the student is happy to learn”, comments Professor Humberto Prates, General Director of the School. And now, all this experience of learning has been extended to younger students: Besides High School, we have broadened our teachings to middle school.
More than by cell phones, we need people really connected to a future for all. Education 5.0 is here and Colégio Leffler is ready for the challenges of the education and careers of the future: our students have the complete preparation and follow-up that only a global olympic school can provide.
