Best Practices

Encouragement of student attendance

• Personal/Individualized Approach to teaching and interacting with students – emphasis on personal follow-ups on defaulting students to identify the factors underlying decrease in performance, attendance, attention etc. Every month, a list of  students with ‘Less than 75% attendance’ and a list of ‘congratulations…100% attendance!’ are displayed on the notice board

• Redesigning of the internal evaluations so that they vary in difficulty, creativity and learning outcomes. 

• Setting  of a case study based test on counseling skills after watching the In Treatment series, research projects (on Inter-Personal Attraction at S.Y., and stress related project at T.Y.)

• Using crosswords, cryptograms and word puzzle formats to test for concepts

• Setting challenging Multiple Choice Questions

• Designing and Conducting of workshops with underprivileged children and diverse populations

• Designing an entrepreneurship based project on organizational culture (one student SHWETA RAVI has been inspired to begin her own startup called CHINKOR based on this assignment) 

• Started niche post-graduate courses
