Development of skills

A shift from content-based learning to the development of skills.....

Education in the present scenario focusses more on the development of skills than just the knowledge-based grades. IB introduced ATL skills as an important component of the teaching-learning process. ATL stands for approaches to teaching and learning which focusses on the development of skills primarily research, collaboration, self- management and communication. The Diploma programme curriculum is framed in such a way to provide opportunities for students to work on assignments and assessments which are framed in such a way that one of these skills are being developed. The group 4 project in the sciences and group activities in other subjects ensure that students know how to collaborate. Investigations in the sciences, case studies, and commentaries in Economics help students to understand what research means. Further oral activities in Language A and oral commentaries in language B help to promote communication.

Skill-based education prepares students for life! 

IBDP dinner...

IB Dinner: An evening to remember…….

Amidst the dazzle of soft lights, live music, scrumptious food, confident students and a well-staged programme, the evening planned, organized and staged by the D1’s on 10 November ensured to give a glimpse into the IBDP journey of the Diploma students.

The IB journey for a Diploma students is filled with excitement and challenges as the course unfolds. The students found interesting ways to share with their parents what it means to be an IB student …. And parents surely understood what it means to be an IBDP parent.

Shashank R, Saketh B, Zoran , Mayank and Otavio  of D2 shared their experiences as IB students.. By the end of their talks , the parents became more informed about the process of TOK, Extended essay  and CAS and their importance in the life of an IB student. The D1’s left no stone unturned to showcase their time spent in school through a hilarious skit. By the end of it , parents knew it all ! D1 musicians and singers filled the air with their own compositions. What better way to make the parents understand technicalities  of the IB programme through well thought creative and interactive games. Not forgetting, the well-choreographed dance which added to the memorable evening. On another note, this was also an opportunity for parents to interact with each other and the teachers. The apprehensions of the new D1 parents were put at rest as they were able to learn from the experiences of D2 parents . It was also an excellent opportunity for parents to meet with the teachers in an informal setting and interesting conversations took place over dinner

IBDP camp for parents

Getting to know the IB better!

The IBDP camp organized on 28 October 2017 was an exciting opportunity for the Diploma parents to get a better understanding of the Diploma programme and partner in their child's IB journey.  The camp was designed to ensure that parents understand the needs and requirements of the Diploma programme.

The technicalities of the Diploma programme was unfolded through various activities. Development of skills is an important part of the Diploma programme and parents learned the process of research and design thinking process that their child goes through. For a day, there was role reversal and parents were active participants in a classroom scenario. A session on stress management covered simple ways to help children deal with stress and how to prioritize.

University placement is an important milestone in the lives of a diploma student. A session with the college counselor was incorporated to ensure that parents understand the requirements of the Universities and the entire process of University selection.

The library is a second home to the Diploma students and parents were given an opportunity to go through the various resources available in the library and also had a session on how to access these resources. The sessions were extremely interactive and parents participated in all the activities enthusiastically.

At the end of the camp, parents felt more confident as IB parents!
