OVERVIEW
CURRICULUM
BNG believes that learning is a dynamic process where each scholar learns differently.
Language comprehension, focusing on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills are fundamental to all subjects. Cognitive development, intellectual development, interpretation and thinking skills are more complex secondary skills that follow. The overall personal, social and emotional development of the scholar is constantly monitored to ensure a strong foundation for the adult years.
The entire learning of each scholar is divided into four phases, with each phase, requiring its own focus area and hence its own philosophy.
A regular feedback to parents regarding homework and involvement and progress of scholars, keeps parents well-informed and ensures a closely monitored development programme for their children. This also helps the school in initiating remedial measures, as and when required. A regular and productive communication between parents and mentors is encouraged in both the informal and formal spheres. Parent-Mentor meetings are held at regular intervals.
CBSE – Comprehensive & Continuous Evaluation (CCE)
All scholars at BNG can pursue their learning in an uninhibited and non-restrictive manner. The school aims for providing holistic development to its scholars and is opposed to a rigid and stressful examination policy. Keeping this in mind, the school follows the CCE system of CBSE, in the middle and senior school. The all-round development of the scholar is assessed through a variety of interesting activities, rather than just a summative examination. Therefore equal importance is given to scholastic and co-scholastic areas and scholars are graded not only in terms of their knowledge, but also participation and involvement in the class, inter-house and inter-school activities.
METHODOLOGY
Recapitulation is done with the help of worksheets and questions formed by the teacher after the completion of a concept.
To find out whether it has been well received by the children, a structured worksheet is provided to each student. This is based on the principles of knowledge, recall, comprehension, application and analysis.
The child’s level of understanding is indicated through a “rubric” where the parameters are set under “beginning/approaching/meeting/exceeding”.
At the senior level the focus is increased on assignment based studies and group activities.
TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMMES
The mentor training programme at BNG is an on-going process, which focuses on exposing mentors to the latest nuances of technology, methodology and changing practices of the national and international curriculum. Emphasis is continuously placed on the compassionate, empathic and impartial role of the mentor in the scholar’s learning process.
The mentor training programme at BNG is implemented through:
- INSET programmes
- External seminars and workshops
- National and international visiting faculty
The CBSE has a very structured curriculum. Though the teachers have the liberty to design their own curriculum till class X, we strictly follow books prescribed for CBSE for classes X and below. With the coming of CCE, education has become activity oriented and the focus has shifted towards continuous assessment of the children through a plethora of challenging, inquiry and research based activities. The aim is to achieve stress free education and promote creativity and innovation while testing the children both on scholastic and co-scholastic areas. The course content in CBSE, particularly in Science and Maths, is robust and a lot of attention is paid to application of knowledge. The board has undergone a significant change over the last 10 years and the focus has shifted from passive learning to learning through experience and experimentation. The Formative Assessment in CBSE is largely based on this concept. The Formative Assessment is an ongoing process, four times in a year (twice in a term) and carries a total weightage of 40% whereas the Summative Assessment is the written exam at the end of each term which carries a total of 60% weightage.
