Implementation of Curriculum
Formulating a comprehensive and all-encompassing School Curriculum Plan (Syllabus) is an essential way forward to this Curriculum
document. We established a School Curriculum Committee, which have teachers representing each subject. This committee is responsible
to draft the school curriculum plan for the coming session, by the beginning of this session based on the Curriculum documents. This
committee defines the teaching periods for each subject for each grade, review textbooks, develop topics and activities for pedagogical
practices, and evolve a plan for the teaching learning process evaluation and so as to be able to provide feedback for reflection. This
committee will conduct meeting, reviewing and assessing the pedagogical practices on a regular basis. Subject Experts, Scholars and
professionals will also be invited to join the committee in advisory capacity, this committee will ensure and record that the text books
selected for classes
This Committee consolidated the efforts of all school staff as well as resources provided, and developed a comprehensive school-based
curriculum, giving due importance to both Scholastic as well as Co-Scholastic areas.
The School Curriculum Plan (Syllabus) includes:
- Pedagogical goals of the school for the session and Pedagogical outcomes
- Subject focused pedagogical objectives
- Mapping of units with pedagogical objectives
- Resources/activities to achieve the unit wise pedagogical objectives
- Assessment directives and Formative assessment tasks
- Feedback rubrics
- This Plan will also contain specified descriptions on how to infuse the seven core areas (including Life Skills Education, Values
Education, Gender Sensitivity, Environmental Education, Information Technology Education, Human Rights Education, Health and
Wellness Education) into the teaching of each subject. It is a good idea to involve parents in formulating this plan. The plan is an
effective tool to let parents connect and support the pedagogical practices of the school.
- Lesson/ Unit Plans Lesson plans for the topics will be prepared by the teachers within their faculty. This will be supported by the
School Curriculum Plan (Syllabus). Some important components of this plan can be:
- Specific learning outcomes and Remedial teaching plan
- Unit/topic learning contexts
- Interdisciplinary Linkages
- Resources (including ICT) and Flow of lesson/unit (including activities/ experiments/hands-on-learning.
