ART INTEGRATED LEARNING

Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a teaching-learning model which is based on learning 'through the arts' and 'with the arts': it is a process where art becomes the medium of teaching-learning, a key to understanding concepts within any subject of the curriculum.

Art needs to be integrated with the teaching and learning process of all subjects from classes 1 to 6, to promote active and experiential learning for “connecting knowledge to life outside the school, ensuring that learning shifts away from rote methods and enriching the curriculum, so that it goes beyond textbooks” Our school includes various forms of arts with teaching i.e., drawing, dance, traditional arts & games, elocution, etc. to enrich the students

Scholastic assessments:-

  • Theory 80 marks

  • Internal Assessment (IA) 20 marks

The periodic Test is a pen and paper assessment which will to be conducted by the subject teacher. The periodic test format must have question items with a balance, such as very short answer (VSA), short answer (SA) and long answer (LA) to effectively assess the knowledge, understanding, application, skills, analysis, and evaluation and synthesis. Depending on the nature of the subject, the subject teacher will have the liberty of incorporating other types of questions. The modalities for PTare as follows:

c)      syllabus: The portion of the syllabus will be cumulatively covered in the periodic test concerning the announcement of the date of tests by the school.

d)       Average of Marks: Once the school completes the conduction of all the three periodic tests, they convert the weightage of each of the three tests into ten marks each, for identifying the best two tests. The best two will be taken into consideration and the average of the two shall be the final marks for PT.
