Pedagogical Plans
Pedagogy is the manner in which a teacher teaches her/his learners to acquire certain competencies as stated by the outcomes of learning. There are several pedagogical approaches, but in accordance with the NCF 2005, we follow the constructivist approach (CBSE Vide circular Acad 15/2019 dated 9th March 2019). According to this approach, the child is placed at the centre of learning and the approach believes that children learn best through experiencing and reflecting on the topics/concepts being taught.
