The Respectful

Mind

A mind that recognizes differences between individuals, groups and cultures; one that learns to appreciate a sense of 'others'.

This mind requires an imaginative leap to enable us to understand others on their own terms.

Differences need to be respected and the earlier this is achieved the better.

The Ethical Mind

Considers how students can

serve purposes beyond self

interest.

This mind takes into account the 'common good' of the wider community

particularlyunder challenging situations or

dilemmas.

The development of shared beliefs are important to achieve this mind and projects that involve

providing a service to others.
