## Portfolios

- [Concepts<br><br>GPS focuses on the following concepts to help children view and make sense of the world: form,  function, causation, change, connection, perspective, responsibility, and reflection. By studying information through these lenses, students are able to structure and make sense of the world they live in. Teachers design units that are based upon globally significant issues and concepts that guide students to a deeper understanding of the way the world works.](https://gpsschool.org/portfolio/concepts/)
- [Skills<br><br>In a world in which all sorts of data is at our fingertips, the ability to memorize facts has lost its value. The need to think dynamically and critically has replaced rote learning of information. To be successful in this new data-rich environment, students need to be able to access, organize, evaluate, and effectively communicate information and ideas. GPS’s IB approach develops the students’ thinking, social, communication, self-management, and research skills, which are all transferrable to all aspects of life both within and outside of school.](https://gpsschool.org/portfolio/skills/)
- [Inquiry<br><br>Students learn best when they look for answers to their own questions. GPS’s units of study all begin with students developing questions that will guide them in their research. Throughout their stay here, GPS students are taught to develop more and more sophisticated questions to drive their lines of inquiry.  ​](https://gpsschool.org/portfolio/inquiry/)
- [Action<br><br> At GPS it is not enough to simply know something. GPS students must make use of what they have learned in a meaningful way. If they learn about sustainability, they are asked to take measures in their own lives or homes that support creating a more sustainable world.](https://gpsschool.org/portfolio/action/)
