Teachers at Shri ram Centennial School, Dehradun reinvest teaching methods and make their classes interesting. We keep on introducing new ideas to benefit our children.

Listed below are some of the strategies we follow at Shri Ram Centennial School.

  • Creative Teaching- Taking the help of creative tools to stimulate creativity in our students. We include playful games or visual exercises that excite the young minds and capture their interest. This also gives our children the opportunity to come up with their ideas and even gives them freedom to explore.
  • E-Learning-We incorporate e-learning in our sessions with power-point presentations, pictorial materials and audio-visual tools that help their imagination thrive and grow.
  • Brainstorming-These sessions are a great way to get the creative ideas flowing with multiple brains focusing on a single idea, which involves everyone into discussion and gets new thoughts onto the table.
  • Classes outside the Classroom- Some lessons are best learnt when they are taught outside the classroom in the lap of nature. Children find it fresh and exciting and the learning remains with them forever.
  • Role Play- Teaching through role play, story dramatization, dance, music rhymes are a great way to make children step out of their comfort zone. This form of free- structured play enables our teachers to break monotony and get all students involved in the lessons.
