Service as Action (SA)
Service as Action (SA)
Service as action (SA) in the MYP is an essential component of the learning process. Not only is it an educational philosophy, but a practical outcome of learning. SA opportunities can be intentionally built in during the unit planning stage. A teacher either adds a specific learning engagement to meet curriculum objectives, provide students with ideas that they can take action themselves, or use a global context to encourage students to initialize their own inquiry into the local situation of a global issue. Kuei Shan students have ample and authentic SA involvement to meet the MYP SA expectation. See examples below:

SA Example 3: G10 Design
"Taiwan is a rapidly aging society but our infrastructure has yet to reflect the level of empathy needed to provide our future elders a honorable life. Students will investigate the needs of an aging person, including the benefits of aging-in-place, in addition to intimtaely knowing the emotional and experiential needs of their client. In response, students will use SketchUp to design their home to be age-proof and fitting for when their parents are 80 years old."
SA Example 1: G8 Language & Literature
「根據《解憂雜貨店》的內容與主旨，G8學生進行一個月的「解憂信箱」活動，透過信件方式為G6-8學生提供煩惱諮詢。並在總結性評量中選擇一件煩惱，仿照小說內容與形式進行改寫。藉此活動培養學生之同理心並站在他人的立場，提供建議與幫助。」
SA Example 2: G9 Individuals and Societies
"As part of the 'Kaleidoscope Cultural Preservation Museum Project' this task aims to preserve the uniqueness of world culture by recording the minority culture of the developing world via student-made websites. Each person contributes 7-10 separate cultural threads and 30 items of culture in total to their sites. The project is motivated by the effects of globalization in creating a shared world culture that overpowers respective national cultures. Each site uses a multimedia approach and will be [shared] to allow the school community to increase its international mindedness and awareness of the cultures of the world."
