Head Mistress Pathak: Bluebels school, New Delhi
Drama is an extremely important tool in education today, it not only helps you learn but it also works in "Therapeutic ways" your mind becomes calmer and your learning is stress free. With drama all your senses come alive and are put to use.
Young Children are more adaptable to a tool like this as you grow older you come more rigid and this unnecessary societal pressure."Tunnel Vision".
Today we are very adaptable to such a learning system but it requires "changing of mindsets". The teacher who is teaching the subject needs to believe in the system in order to impart knowledge. It also depends on the person itself . What kind of a person is teaching the child.
Integrated learning is extremely important for the child to get holistic learning. We have introduced Kinetic education, Maths through physical education, Dance, Music, Sequencing.
All our teachers are familiar with Howard Gardner's Theory of multiple intelligences. Yes it is a rigid theory and everyone has a bit of all the intelligences but it is important for a teacher to understand the different levels in which teaching can take place. The other theories like the 360 degree way of learning also are being used by our teachers.
