The International Baccalaureate\u00ae (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.<\/p>

The Compass tools enable IB learners to take on the perspectives needed for international mindedness and empower them to take action in a complex and interdependent world.<\/p>

Compass Education offers impactful professional development programs and community-sourced teaching and learning resources to empower educators to achieve and actualize the IB mission.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Compass tools help to develop the ability to acknowledge the messy complexity of the world and embrace the web of interconnections. This will help educators and learners to zoom out and see the \u201cbig picture\u201d system of interconnected elements that are constantly changing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In navigating this interconnected system, educators and learners develop the <\/span>ATL<\/span><\/a> (thinking, communication, self-management, research, social)\u00a0 and the respective <\/span>subskills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Using the Compass tools gives learners the opportunity for deeper, richer thinking that aids the development of critical and creative thinking. For example, learners will ask great questions in group discussions around the Sustainability Compass. Systems thinking leads to information transfer, e.g., showing how the solution to a problem may be applied in another context. Further, learners are reflective and metacognitive, which can lead to mindset shifts, paradigm shifts, and action-taking.<\/span><\/p>

    Through multiple uses of the Sustainability Compass, learners realize that our world is complex and constantly changing. The four systems' conditions and their connectedness become internalized and habitual ways of looking at the world so it becomes an engrained <\/span>practice to continually learn about the systems surrounding them. They will work towards solving problems and taking action through gathering evidence, talking to other people, learning about history, and understanding what's happening, why and where the leverage points are for making change.<\/span><\/p>

    Our belief at Compass Education is that understanding sustainability from a systems perspective leads to international-mindedness, which is a foundation of the IB.<\/span><\/p>

    Compass Education and the IB are both proponents of shared responsibility and ethical judgments to improve the world through education.<\/span><\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    At Compass Education, we are looking to empower the hearts and minds of educators with the tools that will equip learners to develop a sustainability-focused mindset. The by-product of this educator empowerment is that the tools support the attitudes and attributes of the IB Learner Profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    The IB learner profile describes someone who embodies the attitudes and attributes of the 10 characteristics of\u00a0<\/span>the learner profile. IB aims to graduate students who understand how to behave in various situations while taking action from a mindset of valuing themselves and others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Similarly, the Compass tools facilitate an understanding and development of systems thinking to support a sustainability mindset. Someone who has such a mindset also takes action and responds in ways that lead to harmony and preservation of their respective parts of our planet. <\/span><\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
