IPEM (Individual Parent Educator Meeting)

 Individual Parent Educator Meetings (IPEMs) are going on in the school. IPEMs are held twice in an academic year in the school campus, once in August and once in December. Parents are informed about the date and time slots a month in advance to  enable them to be prepared with the points they need to discuss. Educators maintain files in which details about the child’s progress and requirements are recorded in the files.

In these meetings, class teachers  and subject teachers meet the parents and review the child’s progress till that time. IPEM’s are one of the several methods Eklavya uses to help Educators and parents work hand-in-hand with the single-minded purpose of benefiting the child. These meetings have a clear agenda which is to provide inputs – academic, behaviour and social interaction- for the improvement of the child. 

In the IPEMs class teachers meet the parents for about half an hour. The agenda generally includes the child’s physical and emotional growth, a review of how the child is developing her social skills and acquiring her academic skills.The parents then also meet the activity teachers (Music, Dance, Sports, Art, Craft and Library) who are available in the library during this time. Apart from work habits and academic performance, any other issue of concern regarding behaviour is also  discussed. Anecdotes are shared with parents giving them a glimpse of their child in school.

The Principal keeps herself totally free and is available during the IPEM’s and parents are welcome to meet her individually. IPEM’s serve as a platform for effective communication between parents and educators to provide and do what is best for the child.
 

Our Visit to CT Institution

Today members of Eklavya Enterprise visited CT Institution and gave presentation.

Eklavya slogan (Motto)

The central aim and purpose of all  education is the child. Eklavya
believes that every child is unique and has inborn gifts and talent. The role of the school and its educators is to help the child discover and develop  her talents by focusing individually on her, and not in a "mass production manner.” 

The school philosophy is reflected in its motto:

             Swayam Darshnam: Discover Yourself 

Each person must first look within and learn about herself, since this is an active, on-going exploration, the call is to discover oneself. 

              Swayam Jyoti : Be your own light 
 
Rabindranath Tagore, in his poem Ekla Chalo Re, exhorts us to walk alone. “When the night is dark, and there is no one to walk with you; fear not; but burn your heart in the lamp of your rib-cage, and in its light, O Traveler, Walk alone! 

           Swayam Margkarnam : Make your own path 
 
Each person creates her own path by her actions. To believe that a
path has to be simply found, rather than created, is to miss the
opportunity and challenge of building one's own future. 

A Visit To New Wave Industries

Yesterday students of classes IX and X visited 'New Wave Industries' and gave the presentation about Eklavya Enterprise. The owner of the 'New Wave Industries' Mr. Chanderjeet Singh Luthra was highly convinced by the concept of the Eklavya Enterprise and appreciated the students efforts . He signed the pledge and filled the form also to make it sure that he supports our drive.  

Eklavya School's Philosophy

Eklavya believes that  education is an infrastructure, atleast, as
important as nation's roads, electricity and telecom. It plays a
fundamental role in determining the prosperity and well-being of
its citizens. Progressive nations have strategically invested
heavily in education on a long-term basis. 

Education is also the only 'real', long term solution to the problem and
challenges faced by a nation. The nature of education determines the
character and skills of the next generation and more specifically, pre-primary and primary education are the most crucial, as they deal with the ages when the basic character of an individual is formed.

Eklavya's mission is to work towards bringing about a revolution in the
field of school education through a multi-pronged approach. Broadly,
Eklavya will: 

 set up and run high quality schools, 
 work to create conditions that will attract the best minds to the
field of education including creating such persons through high
quality training. 
 work to integrate parents and other members of the community in
the educational process, and 
 encourage and aid adoption of relevant modern technology as a
significant educational enabler. 

Eklavya's approach is a hands-on one. It will seek to influence more
by practice, than by precept, say, trying to influence at a policy level.
High quality schools, effective teacher training programmes and
demonstrated improvements in teaching methods would be Eklavya's
desired vehicles of change. 

The central aim and purpose of all  education is the child. Eklavya
believes that every child is unique and has inborn gifts and talent. The
role of the school and its educators is to help the child discover and
develop her talents by focusing individually on her, and not in a "mass
production manner".

LIFE SKILLS

Life skills mean “abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.”

Eklavya School introduces Value Based Education (VBE) and learning outcomes for the students which include a combination of knowledge, values, attitudes and skills with a particular emphasis on those skills that are related to critical thinking and problem solving, self-management and communication and inter-personal skills. The elements of a value- based education can be found not only in the subject matter, but in the learning styles which are employed in the scheduling of the classroom, Co-curricular activities, and parental involvement.
We therefore, organize VBE to secure the fullest possible development of body, mind and heart; and a fruitful channelization of the life- energy in pursuits that contribute to the growth of both internal and external personality of our students. It offers our students a sufficient training of the mental faculties in the fields of various Arts and Sciences. It ultimately provides the requisite help, through a powerful spiritual atmosphere, for the soul to come forward and gradually begin to govern a balanced, peaceful and spiritually awakened life. Education that does not help to promote human virtues will not do any good to the Society; it will rather mislead the entirety of Humanity ills.

EKLAVYA School fervently hopes that the introduction of this system will have its consequent impact on learning environment in the school and will facilitate the learner to grow in a holistic manner.
