MESSAGE FMESSAGE FMESSAGE FMESSAGE FROM ROM ROM ROM CHAIRMANCHAIRMANCHAIRMANCHAIRMAN

Our endeavour as always is to help the students to develop an

understanding of the process of change and development-both in terms of

time and space. In the current context of globalization, the school has a

definite and a positive role to play in moulding the student.

We have to be prepared to give more attention to inculcate in the students

a scientific temper by promoting the spirit of enquiry and following a

rational and objective approach. Our school is adequately equipped with

all the facilities to face any challenge of the new age where we ensure that

our wards inculcate good moral and social values, regard for goodness,

fairness, justice, truth, compassion, code of ethics for life, for work,

profession and everyday dealings with others. We ensure that our wards

get an opportunity to face the challenges of life by participating in

competitions at different levels of their school life. We give training to our

wards to maintain emotional as well as mental equilibrium and to be

prepared to match any eventuality without fear.

S. K. SACHDEVA (CHAIRMAN)

BEGINNING OF A BONDBEGINNING OF A BONDBEGINNING OF A BONDBEGINNING OF A BOND…….

Acknowledged as one of the best International schools in Delhi, SGS opens doors

of learning for the tiny tots. True to its motto, “Excellence has No Limits”, SGS

offers world class infrastructure, unmatched academic environment, innovative

teaching techniques, dedicated personalized care and opportunities for a

lifetime of learning. The school’s objective of exposing the students to global

trends at an early stage effectively develops abilities to enable them to meet the

challenges of an ever changing world. We believe in broadening horizons,

encouraging out of the box thinking and problem solving skills right at the initial

years. We motivate students to dream and aspire for the very best in the world

and be the agents of change and progress in the years to come. We inspire

minds and groom personalities to emerge as leaders of the future.

At the onset of the academic journey spanning 14 memorable years, I welcome

the parents and our precious young learners into the fold of SGS family. I

strongly believe that these are the most vulnerable and impressionable years of

their life and every experience counts. I am very grateful to the parents for

placing their trust and faith in us. I would like to assure the parents that their

children will learn and love each day at school. We will leave no stone unturned

to make each day special for them.

The partnership of parents and school is the most significant step towards the

holistic development of the child. I look forward to an association of warmth,

cooperation and understanding which will last much beyond the academic years

of your ward.

Together let’s make the difference.

Mrs. Novita Chopra

The teaching methodology: CBIL and VBIL, i.e. ‘Concept Based Integrated Learning’

and ‘Value Based Integrated Learning’ facilitates the integration of global ideas and

the rich cultural beliefs and values of India. The innovative Curriculum for the Pre-

primary is brought out with the objective of re-enforcing concepts, ideas, skills and

activities at the Pre-primary.

1. ACADEMIC APPROACH:

I. Interactive Approach

Instead of instructing the students about how to do various things, we let them

get hands – on experience by actually doing them. Role plays, enactments and

other interactive and interesting activities form the fundamentals of our

curriculum.

II. Differentiated Instruction Strategy Different types of activities with varying degrees of complexity are provided in

order to focus on different learning styles and developmental levels. The quick

learners are stimulated by follow up exercises and challenging assignments.

Children with different learning abilities are given individual attention, simple

instructions and exposure to different learning aids to which they can respond.

III. Multiple Intelligence Approach

The emphasis in such a program is upon learning rather than teaching. The

students' interests and developmental needs dictate the direction of the

program. Such an instruction model adapts to students, rather than expecting

students to adapt to it.

IV. Home Work Policy Revisiting the work done in the classroom is a must for effective learning. Pre

nursery and Nursery children should read or be encouraged to read for a short

time each day. Children are given some oral/ written activities to complete at

home. Teachers give a home work note for the specific day with instructions in

the students’ diary.

22

V. School Script At SGS, the Marion Richardson Script is followed from the

elementary school onwards. The teachers are given in-house

training in this script so as to enable them to teach the same

effectively.

Marion Richardson was a London Schools Inspector who recommended joining

most but not all letters. The letters are less complex than the print script forms,

they do not have the loops and curls of looped cursive; the most distinctive

forms of the pure Marion Richardson system are the long open / f / and the open

/ b / and / p /.

VI. Assessment

Assessment is an integral part of the education process.

Evaluation is continuous and reveals the strengths and

weaknesses as of the learners frequently so that the

learners have better opportunity to understand and

improve themselves. Our assessment system and promotion rules are consistent

with the concept of continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) developed

by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the

policy envisaged by the Central Board of Secondary Education. It focuses on the

daily interactions in class, level of general awareness, quality of work and

comprehension of concepts taught. Equal importance is given to co-curricular

activities along with academics.

VII. Reading a Report Card

Report cards communicate a child's progress across various areas like working

habits, social skills and thinking skills. The kindergarten report card can be

considered to be a checklist of skills crucial for early learning. Sharing and self-

control are typically evaluated in a "social development" category. Holding a

pencil correctly and using scissors competently are important motor skills. In

your kindergartener's first public school report card, you’ll learn how well he/she

cooperates with adults, participates in group activities, follows direction, and

forms upper- and lowercase letters. Here are some suggestions for making

report card time less scary and more productive.

• Become familiar with the grading system in your child’s grade.

26

• Make sure you understand the different competencies on the report card.

Understand the use of descriptors. If something is not clear to you, ask your

child's teacher.

• As you look at your child's report card, RESIST THE IMPULSE to jump directly

to an area with a lower score. Find an area with a good grade or score and

focus on that first and show your appreciation in that area. Pat your child’s

back.

• Once you've focused on the positive, talk about areas in which your child's

grade is lower. Start a safe, open dialogue with your child about the difficulty

he or she might be having with the subject matter. Give him/her a re-

assuring hug.

• Build up strategies mutually, to help in areas that are difficult for your child.

Is there a requirement of another book that needs to be bought? Is there a

website that can help with the subject specific drills? If you're not sure how

to best help your child, speak to the teacher to take her advice.

• Last, but not the least, let your child know that he/she is more than just a

report card. Tell him/her all the things that make him/her special and

important in your family. Too much focus on grades will only increase the

amount of stress your child undergoes.

Report cards should not contain any huge surprises about how your child is

doing. Most teachers communicate with parents if a child is having a particular

difficulty, whether it's through diary notes or informal phone calls. An open,

ongoing conversation is the best way to manage everyone's expectations.

II) TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE PARENTING

• Encourage your child to take responsibility and

accomplish the given task independently.

• Help your child learn how to express frustration,

disappointments and anger without hurting others

/ retreating into sullenness.

• Speak to your child in the tone along with the words that you wish he would

use with others.

• Clear statements and instructions are understood easily and effectively by

children.

• Listening with your heart allows you to be empathetic, take your child’s

perspective / see the world through his / her eyes before coming to any

conclusion.

• While having a conversation with your child it is important to make the child

feels that he/she has your complete attention and to achieve this you need

to turn off your laptop, keep your phone down and make an eye contact with

him/her.

• Help your child learn about new words or content in a variety of ways.

Talking about the new vocabulary word over the week in various settings will

be a helping hand in enriching the child’s understanding of the word.

• If your child has an assessment/ revision coming up, help him/her study a

little bit each day rather than cramming it in the night before. An hour or so

every other day with spacing out the learning, is a better way to learn the

material.

• Ask your child about his/her day in the school, his/her school work and see

whether it is completed or not. Tell your child that you are proud of the

work he/she is doing.

40

• It's important to answer questions if you can — but remember homework is

supposed to help children learn and you doing your child's homework will act

as a hurdle in the long run.

• Help your child pick out a special homework notebook or folder, and make

sure your child has homework supplies as this will help in developing interest

towards the act.

• Find out what the homework rules are. If your child has a problem

completing or understanding homework, talk to the teacher about the issue.

• Set routines for meals and bed times that will establish stability.

• Have your child help around the house and gain responsibilities instead of

waiting to be served.

• TV viewing is not “bad” but critical choices of what to watch should be made.

Involvement of the child in other activities gives a positive reinforcement to

the overall development of personality.

III) PARENT TEACHER PARTNERSHIP

Parents play the most important role in helping their children learn. When

parents are involved in their children’s education in positive ways, the

children achieve higher grades and test scores, have better attendance at

school, complete more homework, and demonstrate more positive attitudes

and behaviour. By working in partnership with teachers, parents can make a

real difference to their child’s experience of school.

a) Prepare your child for school

Children learn a myriad of skills at school, and parents can help boost their

child’s confidence and development by focusing on some of these areas

which are elucidated below:

• Tell your child how enjoyable school life can be. Talk about making new

friends, playing with new toys, having a nice loving teacher, etc. But refrain

from making any negative comments about school in front of your child.

41

• Introduce your child to other kids of the same class before you hand him /

her over to the school teacher on the first day of the school.

• Take the child along with you when you are purchasing his school books and

other stationery items.

• Pick up a student-teacher game when playing with your child at home. This

way, you can even teach your child some simple school etiquettes.

• Get your child to sleep before time so that you can wake him / her up fresh

next day for school. Prepare for your little one a light but nutritious

breakfast.

b) Share the responsibility for your child’s education

It is possible for parents to work with teachers to foster in children an

enthusiasm for learning. Showing children the value of education,

encourages positive attitudes towards school and helping children realize the

importance of their own education. Few simple solutions are as follows:

• Create a study area or corner for homework. You can start this as early as

kindergartner, and it becomes more important as homework is assigned.

Have a table and chair in a quiet place away from the TV, perhaps in the

corner of a bedroom.

• From kindergartner to high school senior, it’s important to ask students

about their school subjects. Ask open-ended questions about their class work

— questions that can’t be answered with a “yes” or ‘no.” Share any

knowledge you have, and if you are curious, read the textbook!

• Most communication is on paper and is sent home with your child. This

includes reports on your child’s grades, lunch menus, coming events,

newsletters, requests for materials from home, and so on. After you have

read them, save them all in a box, basket, or easy-to-find location. It takes

some effort to make this plan work, but it your student lets know that these

communications from school are important to you.

• Showing an interest in your child’s learning: attending school performances,

or watching / listening to them rehearse at home.

42

c) Partner with your child’s teacher

When children experience a positive link between their

parents and teachers, they are more likely to have a

positive attitude towards school themselves. Steps

towards developing a positive parent-teacher relationship include:

• Be open and frank: teachers appreciate parents who approach them openly

• Raise any concerns you may have with your child’s teacher

• Keep the lines of communication open: the more your child’s teacher knows

about your child’s individual needs, the easier it is for them to adjust learning

and teaching

d) Communication goes two ways

While the parents play the role of a teacher at home it is the teacher who

adorns the role of a parent at school. Parents and teachers work together

most effectively when good communication exists on both sides. Much can

be gained from exchanges where teachers and parents share their

experiences, discuss challenges and come up with solutions together.

Opportunities for these types of discussions can occur both formally (parent-

teacher interviews) and informally.

Parents and teachers are members of the same team, working towards the

best possible education for their children.

Consider the teacher as your child’s mentor!

Let’s not be disrespectful towards the TEACHERS of our children. Because

this disrespect seeps in the tender mind and from that very moment listening

towards his/her teacher stops and so does learning. The solution lies in

communication!
