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!!!!!!!!
