A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE…
When I look back the year, it brings back so many memories. I have many memories that I cherish very much. The journey down the year is fascinating and filled with gratitude. Nonetheless, the past one year of my life illustrate major growth and development as an individual, a head of CIS family, a co-worker, a mentor and of course a learner — a journey which lead me to this glorious moment. I can analyse the past academic year of our school’s chapter and academic objectives to a committee of scholars/professionals, which is unquestionably a significant achievement.
In the past year, the students have achieved in various fields of academics, personal development, sports, social and emotional growth and most important growth in their empathy towards environment and society. Countryside International School, honest to its founding virtue, is truly a Green School, imbibing the core values of Green concept to our young CIS Scholars as we call them.
Life Skills which are participated in our practiced campus are a step towards strengthening of core values towards adaption of a child into a complex and ever changing world. Soon the technology will be governed by Artificial Intelligence [AI] and we want our students to understand and learn the concept of AI. I believe that our AI won’t succeed unless they benefit the students.
Parameters like social behaviour, empathy towards older generation and other living beings, interpersonal communication skills also form a part of an individual’s growth. We in CIS, try to maintain a harmony between all of these along with academics, and co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
We have basked the glory of success in the past one year wherein we have established a unique name in being an academic school nurturing traditional values and with use of technology.
My personal educational goal is to create a systematic plan where i can let my children enjoy while learning at the same time when they are maturing into a Good Samaritan.
I found SMART [ Specific – Measurable – Achievable – Relevant – Time-based] goals as a very good tool to create a realistic study plan. First and foremost erecting language structure by improving reading and writing skills, kindling will for Math, in order to fit perfectly in a professional environment and educational goal. Continuous evaluation is observed of the methodology and resetting the goals so as to propel one step at a time.
Creative Learning through the Use of Simulation to teach our children to prepare themselves to meet the needs of present diverse conditions by providing cultural competency education is the way we work in. The use of simulation is done as a method of effective transfer of learning competencies, building team work and working for wisdom, appreciating tradition and right use of technology.
These memories of these days feel with me with boundless confidence brings smile on my face always.
To achieve our desired goals, my colleagues are burning midnight’s oil and equally parents are co-operating us.
Best of luck my dear children.
Looking for everyone’s cooperation to nurture our future – the next generation!
