Schools chalk out newer ways for teaching…
            Schools are nowadays chalking out newer ways for teaching and are implementing several changes in their academic curriculum, to make it more interactive and interesting for the students. Please find some of the steps taken by St Mary Multipurpose School, Vashi (New Bombay) in this regard.
            “The classroom teaching technique has changed completely. In case of prose, earlier we read them out to students from textbooks, in order to explain them to students. But now with the teaching kit, we need to make students participate. So if there is an English prose to be taught, we will ask students to encircle the complicated words and find their meanings. These words are then written on the blackboard and whenever the word appears, students have to answer its meaning,” explained a teacher from the school.
            Similarly in case of the science lectures, the activity comprises solving questions in group and making the students present the chapter in their own words. “Within a 30 minute lecture students are made to think, share and pair. Since their involvement is a must, they stay more alert. So the lessons taught are better understood,” said Fr Abraham Joseph, the principal.
