In a rapidly changing world, there is a need to groom a
good number of competitive individuals who understand how to take advantage of
this wave of modernization. We need critical thinkers, goal-oriented
professionals with a specific set of skills who could use their knowledge and
training to lead humanity to build a sustainable future. Education plays a
significant role in this mission. Rex Book Store, as one of the pillars of the
industry, understands its duty to help meet this endeavor. This is what urged
the company to bring the Whole Child Approach here in the country.
As the only accredited partner of the Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) in the Philippines, REX Book
Store aims to assist the community, not just schools and universities, but also
homes, private industries, and other stakeholders to contribute to preparing
our learners to what the future has to offer. Well rounded individuals who are
healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged is the core mission of the
Whole Child Approach.
Each child should be able to grow and prosper in a safe
environment, a nurturing surrounding where they can express themselves, to
become active, with a sound mind and a healthy body. Learners should be given
an opportunity to engage in activities beyond the classroom setup. Every
stakeholder from home to school, and even to private companies and corporations
should get involved and participate in providing resources for students to be
exposed to the real world setting. Proper assessment should be in place to
ensure learners are given a chance to thrive, to be tested to evolve as a
modern man. Side by side with the 4Cs of P21’s Framework for 21st Century
Learning - Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration & Creativity,
REX Book Store pushes for familiarization and education of, not just the
educational institutions, but the general public as well. This way we can all
work together to groom the citizens of the future.
This year, REX Book Store commits itself to continue
investing time, effort and resources to ready the community in supporting and
rearing a whole child. With its well-knit symphony of learning solutions the
company hopes to inspire educators to maximize their influence, be more
creative in teaching values and knowledge to the students of today. It’s ongoing
programs like the SHS Work Immersion Program is just one of the initiatives
that the company is doing in order bridge resources from private institutions
to the learners who need training. The campaign that approaches teaching
through a holistic and practical application is growing and developing, and
it’s REX Book Store hope that we can all share the same commitment for the
cause.
