Maintaining excellence throughout
According to David A Kolb, Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. The NEP 2020 focuses on experiential learning, equity and discovery-based teaching learning methods. We at our school promote this with the help of peer tutoring, fun creative, collaborative and joyful exploratory activities in classroom for experiential learning and deeper student learning. We also focus on skill- enhancement of the students.
