Activity based Teaching in ORIGIN:
Activity-based teaching is the basis of the academic methodology at ORIZON. The learning method is fostered by an approach to draw a link with real life and to provide practical experience. The focus of learning outcomes is to promote understanding of concepts and is skill-based.
The activity-based method, therefore, weaves into its fold, ample scope for projects, experiments and 'hands on work' that develops the faculties of reasoning and application. Extensive use is made of audio-visual techniques, computer-aided learning, visual aids, charts, models, games, role plays, LCD's, OHP's, worksheets etc. to stimulate the learning process and make it more significant.
The curriculum is imparted using lateral thinking strategies, where the child discovers the joy of learning and realizes his/her own potential. This also facilitates a more comprehensive and holistic evaluation of the child. Rote learning, thus, has no place in the ORIGIN classroom and students are encouraged to use of variety of sources such as the Internet and Encyclopedias to enrich their knowledge.
ORIGIN follows a practice of 'inclusive education' wherein we believe that every child is special and deserves an opportunity to a positive educational experience. We embrace those who have special academic needs or have learning difficulties.
Our Remedial Educators are qualified professionals and work closely with the children to integrate them back into the classroom. The 'Recharge Room' is equipped with educational aids and materials to target the specific skill areas of the child.
Remedial help is also offered when a child has a weak conceptual base that affects his/her academic performance in line with the expected learning levels.
