David B. Hawley, Chief Academic Officer bij International Baccalaureate, schrijft in een artikel op Edutopia dat we leerlingen zoveel mogelijk kansen moeten geven om het verschil te kunnen maken in onze complexe wereld. Vandaar:
(…) we cannot be satisfied only with students learning about the world and developing deep conceptual understanding of multiple disciplines. We need young people building an ever-expanding portfolio of skills and experiences of things that they have done, created, and contributed to — things that matter to them, to others, and to the world we share.
