Pedagogy

The pedagogy at Shishukunj focuses on experiential learning so as to equip students with the required 21st century skills. Innovation, collaboration, critical thinking and emotional intelligence form the base of the teaching practices followed in school. Inquiry based learning keeps the students and educators in a ‘forever learning’ mode which contributes immensely to the teaching /learning process. Leadership and communication skills are interwoven into all the teaching modules.

To ignite and not just to impart is the maxim followed by the educators of the school. The focus is on understanding and comprehending the concept and its application rather than just ‘knowing ’ it.Interactions in the classroom are student centred and aim to draw out what the student thinks. Constant effort is made to help the students to assess, analyse and compare rather than just accept the written word.
