Students are taught and encouraged to use active listening and speaking strategies during class discussions. Special emphasis is laid on storytelling and use of communication for a range of purposes like informing, instructing, motivating and leading.
Creativity
Innovation is encouraged at STEPSchools. Teachers work with students to help them develop new ideas. They are taught to evaluate, analyze and refine these ideas and then communicate them to others. STEPSchool students learn to view failure as an opportunity to learn and succeed.
