The Dynamics of Learning with a P.M.A.!

PMACC teaches its students from the moment they enter, that they must "embrace learning (with a positive mental attitude) in order that they depart from us with purpose!" An important part of learning requires that we let go of some of the conditioning and perceptions that we have picked up along the way, if we are to acquire true knowledge and skills. Too often students enter a learning environment with the concept that they "cannot achieve" or that they are "not capable of doing better", what they or societies expect of themselves. Too often the pathways that young people choose after learning, reflect not what they want aspire to, but what others perceive to be their only options, based on their backgrounds, socio economic status, race, religious beliefs, and so on. PMACC exists to change this misconception.

By shaping our students approach to learning, we inspire our students to let go of any notion of incompetence, and to enter to learn with an " I can and therefore I will" attitude. This mantra teaches our students to unlearn what is untrue about their capacity to learn, and to replace this with a "positive mental attitude" to learning new skills to achieve their aspirations.
