At I.S.M.
We have things called…
TRANSDISCIPLINARYSKILLS
That’s right!
Transdisciplinary Skills!
What are Transdisciplinary Skills, you ask?
Skills are things that you learn to do well and
that will help you get a job done.
Transdisciplinarymeans that
you can use the skills in almost anything you do
at school and
even outside of school
Balancing on top of a ball is a skill,
butis it a skill that you can use most of the time?
Playing the violin is a skill,
but is it a skill that you can use most of the time?
Let’s think of some skills that we can use most of the time,
whether we are in
Math, Art, P.E.
or language classes,
Or even when we aren’t at
school.
One of those skills is:
Communication

Sharing your answers &
ideas through

Another one of those skills is:

if some of your learning is hard to figure out.

and being creative
with ideas that could help solve your problems
Another is:

And the last one is:
