Let our class room more practical oriented.

I am very happy to see our teachers connect the history class more practical and linking with present life. Yesterday I could see such scene in one of the class. In 6P , Mrs. Sangeetha was teaching ancient Indian history with full of energy and she could create curiosity and surprise among her students.

During the period of Neolithic ,people had used wheat, millet,lentils,grains etc.

To get more clarity for the terms like millet and cereals, she gave different packets of these items to the students. Students were very happy to see, touch and discuss about the same.

Here are few pictures.

Let our class room more practical oriented.

Class room teaching are to be more practical oriented. We can bring some real things which can connect even hour past history.

Year Plan - Preparation

Effective planning leads for effective instructions and learning.

The teachers who spend more time in preparation will spend less time in trying to keep their students on the learning track.
Year planning is a creative process that allows us to synthesise our understanding of Social Science and UAE Social Studies teaching pedagogy with our knowledge of our learners, the curriculum, and the teaching context.

Year plan will help us to prepare lesson plan too.

As per our School curriculum frame work , KHDA Inspection Frame work and CBSE we have need to modify our Pedagogy .
It is the scientific teaching/instruction strategy through which knowledge is imparted in the classroom. The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction. On the basis of our pedagogy we need to plan and conduct activity oriented method of teaching in social science classrooms.

Kindly see the attached folders. There are separate folders for Indian SST and UAE SSt respectively.

When you fill the google sheet kindly note the following points:

# Kindly check Bifurcated Syllabus, Assessment Scheme and Academic Calendar and know working days and evaluation dates etc.
# Learning objectives must be based on blooms taxonomy ( different levels )
# Minimum four different level of learning objectives are to be included for all Chapters.
# Minimum number of Chapter activities = 2 ( We expect activity oriented teaching style in our class room. So that we wish to see more number of activities.)
# Cross curricular linkage - The links where children use and apply aspects of learning from one subject in another.
# Link with UAE – How does the topic is integrated with the elements of UAE heritage, history and culture.( “It will increase the dedication and love pupils feel towards the nation)
#Subject enrichment Activities : These are subject-specific activities aimed at enhancing the understanding and skills of the students. These activities are to be carried out throughout the term, however, they should be evaluated at the term-end. We need to keep the evidence and report of this activities.

#Department Activity -The activities which is conducted by Social Science department as part of important days.

Thought of School- How should be?

Center for learning:- A best space for better learning than any other schools in the world.

Children should fee happy and motivation to come and go Get chance to meet and interact eminent personalities in the world.

Self Learning Center with Internet access - Students should be able to make self study incorporating with ICT materials under the guidance and monitoring of  the teacher.
Center for skill development - There should be special time in the school time table for practising chosen skills, like Making Reports, Making Self Evaluation, Presentation skills, Event Management skills, etc. Also include some other certificate courses like, Basic Electronics, Electrical, Plumping, computer courses like coding, networking as part of co-curricular activities.
Center for occupational preparation: When a child complete his school education, he should have able to go for a job. Now those who completed plus two course ,they work as a Assistant teacher. If we provide a course like PPTC , TTC as per the MOE rule and UAE Situations, at least they will be able to get a small job. Let students get a chance to complete a lot of certificate courses like MOOC. Surely this will help them in futute.

Course combinations in Plus one course: Since we have number of combinations in plus one course we provide only 2 streams such as Science and Commerce. In addition to this there are many courses and in each coursed there are several combinations but in UAE most of the school provide only science and commerce. For instance: In Humanities course itself has 32 combinations but there is less schools provide this.

Academic quality – How much we have concentrated ? Suggestion to improve ?
