Processes
Smart School processes are viewed as asystem. When the system is provided withinputs, the Smart School processes will work
to produce the desired outputs. The Smart School process will change the way
children are taught. Learning is thenoptimised to each child. Individual minds,spirits and physical selves are catered torather than the treatment of the class as ahomogeneous collective whole.
