At Jaipuriar School, the teaching learning process is designed to ensure that the focus is not just on the “what” of learning but also on the “how” of learning. With the belief and conviction that experiential learning results in creating lifelong learners, the methodology and best practices at school include specially designed and well-acclaimed programmes such as the following:

CIRCLE TIME

is a single or double period per week wherein the Class Teacher uses this time to bond and connect with her students. This is also a time that is used to provide a platform for the issues and problems that arise within the class group. It is a great time to work towards instilling the Core Values of the school.

DEAR

(Drop Everything and Read) is a reading programme that has 15 minutes slotted in the time table from Kindergarten to Grade V. This is a time slot over and above the Library periods allotted for each Grade.

DEED

(Debate, Extempore, Elocution and Drama) are 4 periods a month slotted in the time table for all grades. The Key Activity Coordinator (KAC) ensures that this activity period is optimized and effectively implemented.

RESEARCH AND REFERRAL

At Jaipuriar School, the R & R programme provides the children with an opportunity to explore and discover through research and record their findings. It helps children develop inquiring minds and methods of observation, data gathering, experimentation and presentation. Focussing on one main topic or aspect, R & R is a programme that works towards honing not just the research skills of children but also encourages them to ask out-of-the-box questions in an attempt to get to the root of an issue or a problem. Where research topics are related to people, genres of Literature, Performing or Visual Art, the children channelize their research skills towards arriving at the various facets of the topic under discussion or review. R & R results in 360° learning as children approach the topic from all perspectives and arrive at their own conclusions based on their findings.

EQUBE

the Life Education Programme, is a double period once a week for students of Grades V to X. A specially designed curriculum that focuses on reflection and self-empowerment, Eqube works with the children to enable them to carve out a vision for themselves and their lives. With an objective to create sensitive, thinking and caring individuals who work proactively towards bringing about change and making a difference both to their own lives and to society as a whole, Eqube strengthens the child’s decision making skills and emphasizes on the importance of taking responsibility for oneself and one’s actions

WRITER’S WORKSHOP

provides an individualized curriculum that caters to all types of learners. It is extremely fluid and all curriculum objectives can be met through it. Writer’s Workshop is a method of teaching children to write. Instead of giving children worksheets and essay topics to write on, Writer’s Workshop encourages them to write original and personally meaningful pieces, which are then polished and improved upon, by drafting and redrafting. This programme is an essential part of the Grades IV and V English Curriculum.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM

Work with NGOs to sensitise children towards those less fortunate than themselves.

BaLA (using building as a Learning Aid)

The classrooms, corridor, steps, outdoor spaces are used to create varied learning situations – makes school an exciting place, allowing learning with fun.

“Salutation to the noble Guru, beyond whom there is no higher truth, there is no higher penance and there is nothing higher attainable than true knowledge.”

The Shri Educator or Shri Shikshak is a facilitator who draws forth the potential that already exists in a child, waiting to be recognized – and who teaches children to use their higher-order thinking skills. Under the guidance of the Shri Educator, the classroom becomes a think tank where innovative pedagogy is used to engage the learner. The Shri Educator is a leader in his/her field of expertise, is self-motivated and an intuitive team player working for the welfare of the children. Shri Educators comprise the finest teachers who will provide individual attention to each child. A Shri Educator is always keen to be abreast of the latest teaching methodologies, and professional development is an important part of the Jaipuriar School culture. A mentor, a guide and a friend, the Shri Educator will always strive to bring the best into and outside the classroom to align with children’s intellectual and emotional needs.
