Please go through the prospectus, which has an overview and details of the courses
As the course is also about making materials for use with the children and the objective is that you will be all set at the end of the course, to establish an elementary level class; a certain amount of attention is paid to making these.
You may have to spend about fifteen thousand on procuring materials.
A general list of materials will be given at the outset and specifics described as presentations are done for each subject.
Graduates are preferred as the course content is vast and covers the syllabi up to 8th Grade.
The medium of language is English. Many improve their language fluency as they do the course, both in speaking, comprehension and writing. That said, and understanding the situation all round the world, the course materials and presentations are handed out by the Centre, so that the subject albums are in good English.
You are expected to illustrate, make additional notes, write your reflections, for your own understanding, so that the album is an active guide for your work over the years.
Students have to share their work to the class which results in improving skills of presentation and public speaking.
For online sessions, if you are late by 5 min, you are marked absent for half the session. For contact classes, if you are late by 10 min, you are marked absent for half a day.
If you are absent for any reason, it goes towards the 10% absenteeism that is kept for illness or any untoward incidents, that come our way.
90% attendance is required to be able to take the examinations.
The recordings may be available for short periods or put up on a private channel for students. This possibility is being explored at the moment and if similar conditions and facilities are available, this may happen soon enough.
Of course! Assignments are given regularly, at the end of the week and usually two weeks is the time allotted for submissions.
If one does steady work through the year, it is a great way to keep the pace of the course. Remember, we are covering six years of a curriculum plus theory and practicum in one year or so.
The Centre is opened through the year and practice classes or contact classes are scheduled for each batch, looking at prevailing conditions. If you are going to be around the Centre, schedule a meeting or inform the coordinator or administrator.
