being trained and empowered

communicative skills etc.
(ii) To improve cognitive
abilities:
* Mini and meaningful chunks of
syllabus: In view of the low
learning abilities, the whole syllabus
is divided into meaningful, mini
chunks integrating minimum levels
and academic standards. A
check-list showing the progress of
the student in every item is kept in
his profile and updated periodically.
Remedial teaching is planned
effectively with the help of this
assessment. Thus minimum levels
and academic standards are assured.
* Reading Pens: A set of 10 reading
pens were used to improve the
language ability of the low level
children. As the children are less
exposed to language in their home,
vocabulary deficit and fluency
problem occurs both in mother
tongue and other languages. For that,
a wide variety of language activities,
language fests were held.
* Class wise libraries: Books useful
to every class were identified by the
subject teachers and established a
Transformation of Schools into Vibrant Learning Hubs
The books will be replaced by other
books from main (school) library
every month.
* Class wise science Lab/ kit: All the
material useful for science activities
to that particular class included. It is
important to note that 90% of
science activities do not need a
separate Science Lab and can be
done within the classroom.
* Class wise TLM Kit: As many of
our students cannot afford to
procure minimum stationery for their
class/home work, a box containing
all the TLM (consumables and
non-consumables) is provided in
every class. This facility improved
individual and group work and also
fulfilled the purpose of CCE.
* Digital teaching: Teachers are given
orientation to go digital in their
teaching and encouraged for.
* Teacher made question banks for
tests: The teachers are encouraged
to prepare their own question banks
and administer the tests with the
questions from those question banks.
* Subject wise presentations:
Presentation of Project Works in
every subject was planned. It resulted
in improvement of many skills in
students. Annual Science Festival,
in-house science exhibitions, science
seminars are held.
