The Power of Dreams: A Focus on Mindful Learning
Mindful Learning
Consistent with our philosophical beliefs, we are committed to ensuring that all Barrington Community Unit School District graduates will be able to demonstrate evidence of:
A disciplined mind, that can think well and appropriately in the major disciplines.
A synthesizing mind, that can sift through a large among of information, decide what is important, and put it together in ways that make sense for oneself and for others.
A creative mind, that can raise new questions, come up with novel solutions, and think outside of the box.
A respectful mind, that honors the differences among individuals and groups, and tries to understand them and work productively with them; and
An ethical mind, that thinks, beyond selfish interests, about the kind of worker one aspires to be, and the kind of citizen that one should be.
