ALP (CARE)
Applied Learning Programme - CAR2E
Critical & Appreciative Reading to Respond Empathetically
Our school decided on the use of rich texts as a launch pad into discussing timeless human issues. With an underlying pedagogy of using Talk Moves to create more dialogic classroom discussion — talk for learning between teacher-student and student-student — the ALP aims to encourage empathetic and collaborative communication as students read critically beyond comprehension. It culminates in a capstone performance at the end of the programme where students apply their learning ‘beyond the classroom’ by creating multimodal texts, revolving around chosen themes, to inspire a wider audience.
BPPS CARES
In the spirit of Bukit Panjang Primary School’s Applied Learning Programme, the BPPS CARES podcast highlights the voices of our students as they respond critically and empathetically to topics relevant to their lives and those around them.
