Caring…..How to Score a “5” on a scale of 1-5 for Caring

Caring is a 21st century skill and practice and has always mattered and will always matter in any century. Rio’s students, staff, and community care. This is why we have made the point of having 5Cs for our 21st Century Learning Aims: Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Creativity, and Caring. Caring takes many forms when it comes to being a student at Rio’s schools. Here are a few I have been thinking about;

Caring about people. Caring about every child, staff member, and community member.

Caring about giving 100% of your effort to every school assignment and activity.

Caring about having a trash free environment.

Caring about helping others do well and feel well.

Caring about your own learning by making sure you are growing in all your areas of learning.

Caring about your community.

Caring about your family and friends.

Caring about your future.

Caring about your country.

Caring about the world and its resources.

I am sure that most Rio children already have already achieved a 5 out of 5 on many of these types of Caring. Still, I’d like to see greater emphasis on the caring about learning outcomes.
