Pedagogy at Bethany Institutions

Raising Levels in the area of Teaching and Learning

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”  –  Alvin Toffler, American writer and futurist

Picnics are fun times of sharing and caring for each other, the Safe touch and growing up sessions, salad and fruit salad making, Abacus, Robotics, organizing the Tuck shop is a huge learning experience, an exclusive Equestrian show in our Bethany grounds sparked a lot of interest and excitement in our students. This vast exposure to the various learning experiences will remain etched in our young learners mind.

Instilling Core Values – the morning assemblies have so much to offer, values that will remain long. Building relationships, Celebration of Love, our planet our Future, Incredible India, values on acceptance, building confidence, respect and recognition and many more assembly lessons based on moral values.

Middle School

The NEP 2020 and the Council (CICSE) have stressed the following

 “Questions should stress understanding of concepts, not just recall of facts. Schools need to move away from a rote memorization–centered approach towards a more comprehensive method that prioritizes understanding and application of concepts.”

In keeping with the Council’s requirement Bethany has taken a firm stance on raising standards in teaching and learning in the classroom. The Middle and High school years play a vital role in building life – long learning competencies.

First, it is important to acknowledge that successful teaching relies on the teacher and learner working together for success. In order for this relationship to flourish it is necessary for the teacher and learner to have contact with each other.
