5 Best Ideas to Improve your School



In order to improve the school, every educator can embrace two goals - continuous improvement and wringing the utmost value from every penny in the school budget. However, the said two tasks need not be reciprocally inclusive.

Following are the 5 proven ways from which higher education providers can explore free tools so as to reexamining staffing. This will also help you to improve the teaching and learning procedure while keeping a close eye on the bottom line of your school values.

1.     Establish Professional Learning Communities:

Professional Learning Communities create the opportunities for continuous staff development by emphasizing the establishment of a shared vision, peer observation, instructional collaboration, collective learning, and action research. And the best part is that it’s free. The best schools in Bangalore have successfully engaged in Professional Learning Communities to address key issues like meeting rural students’ needs, establishing effective grading practices, and working with at-risk students.

2.     Partner with Researchers:

Around the country, top international schools in Bangalore are working to develop innovative classroom lessons, test new educational technologies, and uncover effective instructional practices. By partnering with local university faculty and other researchers, teachers may get to pilot a new math curriculum that emphasizes social justice, try out a revolutionary iPhone application, or experiment with using video games to enhance content area learning.

3.     Encourage Teachers to Use Social-Networking Sites:

In schools, a lot of the discussion about social networking focuses on how students of international schools in Bangalore are using (or misusing) popular sites like Facebook or Twitter. But social-networking sites can be incredibly useful for teachers, too. But social-networking sites aren’t just about linking people to resources.

4.     Make Collaboration a Priority.

In theory, the best international schools in Bangalore want teachers to collaborate with one another to develop lessons, address individual students’ learning needs, and share ideas and resources. Most teachers have little time within their one working school day to do so. In elementary schools with 20-minute lunch periods or high schools with five minutes between classes, there simply isn’t enough time to have meaningful (let alone ongoing) discussions. To address that, administrators are rethinking how to structure the school day to value teachers’ collaborative work and professional dialogue.

5.     Use Free Digital Tools:

There are quite a few audio-editing software programs. Students can use these to create their own podcasts and public service announcements.

Conclusion:

By following all the above-mentioned tips, schools can make their identity in the field of the education sector.

Importance of Celebrating Festivals in the School 🎆 🎈 🎉



India is rich in culture and its vibrant festivals are a testimony to the diverse culture and tradition. Indian festivals are celebrated for an array of reasons, from the birth anniversary of a God, seasonal changes, harvests, familial relationships and so on. Festivals break barriers made by religion and castes, uniting the whole country under the banner of celebration, highlighting our belief in unity in diversity.

Festivals and students
In India, every family member from the oldest to the youngest, is part of all the festivities celebrated. It is a time for the whole family to partake in meals and celebrations, ensuring that bonds are strengthened. This helps children understand the importance and customs of each festival. Being thus involved helps cultivate a general interest level in children, which in turn evolves into a genuine love for culture and tradition. Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, and Christmas among many, involve the happy and voluntary participation of children.
