A POSITIVE INDICATION

I feel so happy that the schools have now started conducting learning activities for their children besides the activities prescribed for Formative Assessment. This is indeed a positive feedback of series of in-service teacher trainings on "Teaching through activities" conducted under SSA during 2014, 2015 & 2016 academic years.

Here I want to say that the learning activities which we conduct inside/outside classroom require utmost attention. It should be meticulously structured in such a way that do not allow children to go astray and make learning objectives set for the activity get defused. It is not like, just thought of taking children to park, market place,  neighbouring schools or grouping children and making them work.

In fact, I want the teacher should keep in mind the grade specific learning outcomes while designing such learning activities. The activity should be designed in such way that can replace the classroom teaching and implicate more learning experiences among children than other instructional approaches. I mean the teachers should have clarity (curricular and co-curricular) of what competencies/skills that she/he intends to develop by the activity being designed.

I also wish that the teachers have Teaching Schedule with them for each activity with sequence - how activity starts, moves and concludes within the timeline decided while designing it.

Kindly use Learning Indicators prepared by SCERT & DIET (East) and Learning Indicators and Learning Outcomes prepared by NCERT while you design learning activities.

Thank you all the resource persons, school heads, DIETs and SCERT for making the dream a reality.
