The way to equip students at ZPHS SIMHADRIPURAM to face the challenges of the 21st century is to educate them through a curriculum which is a healthy mix of academics, creativity and character - a curriculum based on multiple intelligences. Such an approach nurtures the specific talents of each student and in this process, learning becomes fun.
A strong future orientation is given to the students, to familiarize them with emerging technologies and relevant issues.
Learning Methodology
In keeping with ZPHS SIMHADRIPURAM promise of comprehensive and holistic education through a developmental approach, modern methodologies are employed to enable learning.
These methodologies are a departure from the traditional rote learning that is imparted in most schools. While the syllabus for each grade is structured, It is also the former's responsibility to shape and integrate online-offline learning, as well as the formal and informal curriculum.
Learning is progressed by: - Student-centric learning
- Project-based learning
- Creativity
- Citizenship-education through interface with community projects
Student Centric Learning A focus on teacher-centric instruction reduces students to passive recipients of knowledge. Traditional teaching is a one-way street, where teachers teach and students learn by rote. Hence, we create an environment in which students are systematically encouraged to continually seek their own learning. Our teachers play the role of "facilitators".
Project-based Learning
Students are assigned individual projects in their areas of specific intelligence to develop and hone their skills and respective intelligences.
Creativity-centered Learning
Apart from regular learning in all disciplines, the School provides Computer Clubs for creative learning. Students are given the opportunity to acquire digital fluency and are encouraged to go beyond accessing information. Computers are used to learn and develop multimedia skills like producing music, videos, animation. we provide a state-of-the-art media centre that enables students to discover fully their creative potential.
Citizenship Learning
Given the rising demands and needs of a rapidly changing global community, acquiring the knowledge and skills for responsible citizenship at the local, state, national and global level becomes important..
Such learning inspires young people to reflect on, and become actively involved in making a better world, not as incidental subject matter, but as the primary focus of their educational experience. Students thus understand what citizenship means more clearly, and feel ready to make significant contributions to humankind in a sustainable environment. With these clear objectives, ZPHS SIMHADRIPURAM will, through education, provide a basis for making the ideals of global citizenship a reality. |
