"Week of Special Learning Needs"

The Counseling and Supportive Instruction Unit is conducting “Week of Special Learning Needs” from 3rd October to 6th October 2012. As a part of the program an Open Forum for the parents and teachers was organized on the 4^th of October under the guidance of Dr. Shakila Naidu, school’s psychologist. The objective of the program was to showcase various resource materials, teaching aids used by supportive instructors to teach children with special educational needs.

Different, easy to use strategies that can be used with the children at home too were explained and demonstrated to the parents. The strategies used covered a vast range of ideas that can be used across first to seventh grade students.

Parents and teachers were eager in asking questions and clearing all their doubts. Head Mistress Ms. Hema attended the event along with Mr. Arjun Rao, Principal of Oakridge International School Bangalore, who appreciated the efforts put up by our teachers.
