ASSET SEMINAR HELD
A seminar was conducted by a resource person from the ASSET team at Vidya Vikas Academy on 25th of November 2010 to focus on the analysis of the previous ASSET Exam held in the school and to discuss the grasping power among the students.
ASSET – ASSESSMENT OF SCHOLASTIC SKILLS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TESTING seminar focused on the advantages of the Asset exam for students and teachers. Asset enables students to apply their knowledge gained in the classroom and get opportunity to answer skill based questions. This exam helps teachers to gauge how the students are grasping the concepts taught in the class. They also understand how well the students have interpreted their teaching and where each class stands. Asset helps the school to understand the level of their students and compare it with the other schools in India. This exam is conducted by a group of IIM (Ahmedabad) alumni in various schools across the nation.
“As a teacher, I personally feel that every school should take asset into their yearly curriculum and give their students the opportunity to grow beyond the text.” says Tr. Shaefali Lendhay who had co-ordinated this exam in the past. The seminar was interesting and a motivational experience for the entire teaching faculty at VVA.V V - Our School Pet . . .
“V V – our school pet was born in 2004 on the property on which our school building now stands. I remember her as a playful, lively little pup who would come up to my car as soon as she heard the horn on my many visits to the site during the construction of the new school building. She would follow me around, sit patiently during my discussions with the architect, engineer or contractor and then wistfully watch me drive away. And when the building was ready for occupation, V V stayed on and over these years, the children have grown to love and care for her. The Vidya Vikas Mandal Educational Campus is her home and she moves from one institution to the next according to their respective break timings. She’s at the Academy with the first child or teacher who comes in and leaves with the last person to leave.” Alan Rodrigues (Principal)
Pets teach children how to empathize with others, how to understand subtle feelings and how to look at the world from a vastly different perspective.
Pets give children the sense of unconditional acceptance, No judging or rating is involved."
Children who undergo traumatic experiences often cope better when they have a pet to confide in. "Loneliness is very dangerous to children, Having an animal companion can make them feel a part of something."
Children learn the subtle cues their pets give them to indicate their feelings.
If properly supervised by adults, a child learns how to take care of another living being, and take pleasure in keeping the pet healthy and happy.
