Adopt A Child Programme

It’s been a highly result-oriented scheme at DLPS under which Each Teacher adopts at least ONE academically poor/weak child. Throughout the session, the teacher assists the child in various ways like- giving/arranging extra classes, completion of the notebooks, revision of the class work, class behavior, attendance and academic record. She notes and observes the improvements made in the child and works in coordination with other teachers towards the child’s growth. The teachers also conduct Personal Home Visits to students’ homes.

Remedial Sessions Every Week

The school conducts integrated remedial classes for the academically weak children EVERY SATURDAY 12 pm to 2 pm. During these sessions, the teachers try to reach out to their problems and render a personal touch. The slow learners get a chance to pick up the covered syllabus and solve their problems.

Counseling Sessions In Close Tie-ups With IHBAS

The school facilitates students with THREE full time counselors. These counselors provide concrete suggestions for each child and help them overcome their specific learning disabilities working in close tie-ups with IHBAS-Institute of Human Behavior & Allied Sciences. Many workshops are also organized for children suffering from SLDs like Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and more. Workshops for parents are also organized from time to time.

Consecutive Assessment Record

A consecutive assessment record is maintained by the concerned teacher which is registered with the school Coordinators as well. The Coordinator makes sure that these children are regular with their work and are able to cope up with the studies. She maintains the Cumulative Record of these children to mark the growth of these children. This affords a larger focus on each child’s progress and output.

Asset

A good diagnosis is the first step of a good treatment. ASSESSMENT OF SCHOLASTIC SKILLS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TESTING(ASSET), speak eloquently about our school’s exhaustive academic programme. It is a National Level scientifically designed diagnostic test taken by learners across India. It effectively measures what learners have actually understood as well as provides actionable insights and required support to the teachers and learners. To ensure shift in learning levels in the positive direction and enable focussed teaching and learning, ASSET Pre-Test and Post-Test are conducted during an academic session. These tests empower parents and teachers with the data they need to take the necessary action to bridge the learning gaps.

Detailed Assessment (DA)

Effective learning cannot happen without periodic evaluation and feedback. Detailed Assessment is a testing tool that is in accordance with the school curriculum and aims at making a difference in the assessment process. It assists teachers to focus on their core competency and provides greater insight into clearing misconceptions about a topic amongst learners. It provides immediate feedback to teachers on the current level of learners’ understanding on the topics taught and completed in the classroom. Detailed Assessment is conducted periodically after the completion of a given topic in Math, English, Hindi, Social Science and Science.
