This is the Qwisp Map, where all Qwisp learning begins.

The Qwisp Map is the learners anchor and guide, providing a structure to work from, continuity, direction, context, and content.

It symbolises the self;

our innate mind energies, such as creativity and intuition;

four crucial questions;

and our life long quest to survive and thrive.

1

Qwisp® uses the Self as the starting point,

so that a learning journey starts at the individual and travels with that person, through the four questions. This creates a personal learning experience that the learner easily identifies with.

2

Qwisp® bases all its learning journeys on our essesntial human needs

The journeys take the essential needs of human beings as topics for learning, putting learners at the centre of the learning experience while providing context, direction, and meaning to their journeys.

The dots on each learning journey symbolise a trigger point for learning. Here questions lead the learner into a treasure trove of lessons and learning materials for classroom or home use, or for exploring independently.

Qwisp® utilises our spontaneous energies

4

Qwisp® gives direction and purpose to our inherent curiosity

The questions awaken the innate and unstoppable mind energies, such as curiosity, instinct, creativity, intuition, reason and imagination.

Qwisp calls these our spontaneous energies and harnesses them as assistants and energy for the learning journey.

Qwisp optimises the four questions as a natural extension of an innate human tendency to ask questions from an early age.

5

The question sequence reveals the building blocks of all the matter that makes life possible.

The questions bore down into each topic, revealing the building blocks of life.

Deconstruction into building blocks will provide the opportunity for learners to identify and familiarise themselves with the range of building blocks that make up our planet and pave the way for introducing scientific terminology at a comprehensible pace.

6

Qwisp® looks for patterns and cycles among the building blocks.

Deconstruction into building blocks reveals patterns and cycles that, in turn, will reveal the interconnection of all life on the planet, unveil the value of patterns to learning and research and pave the way to problem solving.

Exploring patterns and cycles will also highlight the relationship between connection and interdependence and the value of connection to all life, and especially to our well being.

Qwisp® makes use of proven pedagogic actions

Spiral Learning

The repetition of questions that comprise the Qwisp Map will result in a process of learning that spirals more deeply and broadly each year.

Looping Action

The looping action from year to year will ensure a continuity in learning.

Qwisp® is a learning compass

All the learning journeys have a common destination for their travellers:

To survive, to thrive and to reach their potential.
