The Principals’ desk.

The task ahead of any school today

is to meet the challenges of the new
age- the 21st century , a century of
information, a century of flowering
of human consciousness.
The Schools today are influenced by
the educators of mid-nineteenth
century who explicitly borrowed
their new designs from the factory-
builders they admired. The result
was an industrial age school system
fashioned in the image of assembly
line . Like any assembly line , the
system was organized in discrete
stages, called grades , they
segregated children by age.
Everyone was supposed to move
from stage to stage together. Each
stage had local supervisors – the
teachers responsible for it. Classes
of 20 to 40 students met for
specified periods in a scheduled day
to drill for tests. The whole school
was designed to run at a uniform
speed , complete with bells and
rigid daily time schedules. Each
teacher knew what had to be
covered in order to keep the line
moving even though he or she had
little influence on its preset speed,
which was determined by school
boards and standardized curricula.
While the assembly -line school
system dramatically increased
educational output, it also created
many of the most intractable
problems with which students
teachers, and parents struggle to
this day. It operationally defined
smart kids and dumb kids.
Today Jyothi school thinks
differently departing from this idea
creating a new opening in to the
new century. We emphasize on
Motivation as the responsibility of
students rather than teachers.
Discipline is not adherence to rules
set by the teacher but self discipline.
Assessment no more centered on
gaining the teacher’s approval but
on objectively gauging one’s own
capabilities. The assembly line
model tacitly identified students as
the product rather than the creators
of learning, passive objects being
shaped by an educational process
beyond their influence. All these
never produced more learning.

You can have a study of our

innovative teaching learning
methods, curriculum planning, skill
development programmes
Differentiated learning in the
context of development of multiple
intelligences is our main thrust area.
Differentiation is about change,
challenge and choice in today’s
class room : change the content !
Change the Process! Change the
Product!. Differentiation refers to the
concept of meeting the individual
needs of each learner, of
customizing instruction to help
students learn.

QUALITY EDUCATION AND

INNOVATIVE TEACHING
METHODS:

The school limits its admission to

One section each from Pre-Nursery
to Standard X with a maximum of
20 to 40 students in each class.

1. Mind map in teaching and

learning process:
Mind Maps can be applied to
most of life’s situations that
involve any learning or
thinking.
Uses and Benefits:
Learning: Reduces those ‘tons
of work’ , feel good about
study, revisions and exams.
Have confidence in your
learning abilities.
Overviewing: See the whole
picture, the global view , at
 once. Understand the links and
connections.
Concentrating: Focus on the
task for better results. Using all of
your cortical skills attracts your
attention.
Memorising: Easy recall. ‘See ‘
the information in your mind’s eye.
Organising: Be on top of all of
the details for projects or any other
subject.

Communicating: In all forms
with clarity and conciseness.

2. The CoRT THINKING

programme and the SIX
HATS THINKING. For
classes IV to X. )
CoRT thinking lessons equip
children with thinking tools.
They help them to have a wider
point of view or opinion about
something, enable them to
consider other people’s view
while solving problems, to see
all the consequences of any
fact, to check before making a
decision, to keep the mind
open to new and unexpected
situations.
Thinking clubs are organized to
make thinking a habit for every
child.
Six thinking Hats are integrated
in the learning process. It
enables learners to focus on
separate thinking skills, and
 then combine them to gain a
complete perspective.
Both the Mind Map and the
CoRT thinking lessons combine
together will develop in
students creativity and thinking
habits which are fundamental
for successful life.

3. Learning steps: A creative

and scientific approach to self-
learning. It integrates teaching
and learning in the context of
development of multiple

ingredient for a perfect learning
process beginning from
perception to Creative Experience

takes in to consideration the
latest findings in the
understanding of the Human
brain- and the best use of it.
4. Activity Oriented learning:
From Nursery to X learning is
being converted in to
experiences rather than
memorization or rote learning.
A number of methods are being
employed in different classes
to enable children to be
practically interested in the
learning process.
5. Communication skills: The
School provides training and
opportunity for development of
communication skills. It has
been integrated with the
learning process.
 Various curricular and extra-
curricular activities are planned to
integrate all the skills. In turn the
child develops the multiple
intelligences.

Children are also given necessary

training in Neuro Linguistic
programming , (NLP) in order to
develop an effective and
successful personality by
continuously working towards
excellence in everything they do.
Hence Training in goal setting and

teaching –learning process.

understanding that the body
plays very important role in the
learning process we have every

Every day morning classes
begin with meditation . Falun
