Pedagogy

 Bodh aims to provide quality education to deprived children and evolve an appropriate school education system. Such a system is characterized by:

 

      Interactive classroom processes

      Activities that use the inherent capabilities and potential of the child

      Teacher child relationship based  on  child's needs and rooted in context within and           out side the family.

      Teaching learning processes sensitive to folkways of learning.

      Freedom of pace of learning.

      Schooling encored in community participation.

      Non-graded learning strategies (peer learning included).

      Stress on pre-tested sound pedagogical practices.

 

This involves continuous refinement in the realm of curriculum, based on  experiences of teachers in the classroom. This is done through:

 

      Daily planning and workshops (tri weekly, half yearly and annual)

      Discourse  with  communities and  ensuring their participation  in  the   process of         curriculum refinement and transaction.

      Experiences of educational renewal.

      Research  on  pedagogy and school  practices and  best practices   in the  field  of         education.

      Work of eminent educational philosophers like Tagore, Krishnamurthi and Gandhi.

 

Documentation of curricula at the pre-school, primary and upper primary levels has been undertaken. Curricula for preschool education, Hindi, Mathematics, Social Studies, Music, Drama and Art have been finalized.
