One integrated period per week (classes 6 to 10 ) may be introduced for integrated approach to learning that would include real life situations, more than 1 teacher and student led class.
Art, Music and Physical Education teachers may be made part of integrated classroom.
No Bag Day/PISA Day may be initiated for students once a week.
Field trips-may be encouraged (visit gas station, railway station, parks, farms, post office etc.)
Mentoring of students-One teacher may be allocated for mentoring of 5-6 students
Students should be encouraged to give example and generate questions, promote peer interaction and learning as pedagogy.
Reading has to be extensively promoted:-
Teachers will be instructed to ask students to bring newspaper articles related to the topic being taught the next day.
One mandatory reading exercise for the class per day may ne planned in school time table; teachers may take newspaper or other interesting articles for class reading and discussion-it should be undertaken on rotation basis by different teachers e.g. Science teacher on Monday, Math teachers on Tuesday and so on.
Student wise plans also have to be prepared-highlighting each student’s specific challenges and strengths.
Real Life situations have to be added for the content mapped in each area by the Expert Committees and the methodology adopted by ICSE in teaching of languages may be studied and capitalized upon.
