We are born to learn… Our Brain is the planet’s most powerful learning

machine.

But our current systems of education aren’t doing enough to unlock

our true potential. This is what Born to Learn is all about

WHY?

Helping children believe they matter.

Realize that change is possible & they can be the drivers of it.

In this process they will also be changed

Creating a future generation of change-makers and leaders for our country.

HOW? Aiding them with the

4-step process: feel, imagine, do, share and ‘how to’ toolkits

Bloom’s Taxonomy

Lower Thinking Order

Higher Thinking OrderIn the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, Bloom's Taxonomy. This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund.
