For the tiny tots, the play-way method of teaching is adopted and individual attention is paid to make learning a pleasurable pursuit. The classes are theme-designed so as to provide learning by observation & doing; co-relating knowledge and its application. Wherever possible, an extensive use of audio-visual aids and practical demonstrations are also carried out to ensure learning is not a monotonous experience, but an enriching and interesting activity.
Class Room
Group learning has always a very good role in child’s life. Kids here lean together and are trained how to come in a team, how to adjust with different views. By this we guide the kids how to mingle around their peers. Kids learn and grow well. A child gets different views and option in the their classroom itself which widen their thought process. Here teachers compulsory have 5 mits for group discussion and class activity divided in the lesson plan.
Assessment
Reinforcement, Re-enrichment and Responsibility are the 3R’s of homework.
Homework is just a revision that is been taught in the school for the day. Homework is sent in various format as presentations, project work, activity based and learning base. GDGPS follows the HW pattern but not to stress the Parents and Students but we use this mode to convey a message what is been taught in school today and the concept are sent home for revision and activity. We always follow that HW should not be another teaching class at home rather a leaning class at home where it would help the parent to understand how attentative the child was in school and how effective the teacher was by the teacher.
