Principals Corner

This year started as usual but come September we were thrown into a whirl pool as it were with the CBSE bringing in new sysytems of assessment

We also shfted from the traditional 3 term system to a two term yearstarting October- I must say everyone is pleased as we did away with the Half Yearly exams. But the new reporting system has the teachers juggling with facts and figures and excel sheets and 'anecdotal records'.New reports had to be printed and they are now in place.

We have introduced a new filing system to reduce the weight of the school bag.Students from 6-10 will now carry one 80 page booklet only for each subject which can be filed at home in their respective files . So also tests will now be taken on papers given in the class. The teachers will no longer have to struggle with piles of notebooks. These also will be filed into the files which need not be carried to school.

Another new in Vidya Mandir is the introduction of the SMART Board which will be installed in std 3-8. It has to be seen to be believed. Well we are sure learning and teaching from the next year are going to be exiting to say the least!!!!!!!!
