Learning Curve
Our teaching approach
Brain Compatible Learning
At Springfields, we have incorporated Brain Compatible Learning at every step of students’ learning journey. Our Pedagogy Advisor, Ms. Anjum Babukhan, is one of the leading voices in the development and adoption of this methodology.
Her book ‘ABCs of Brain Compatible Learning’ has broken Brain Compatible Learning into an easily usable framework with the global best practices to be followed while teaching students. It is a collection of key principles that have been suggested by eminent educationists such as Dr. Howard Gardner and Dr Eric Jensen. It is an arrangement of actionable knowledge in an alphabetical format for easy reference, in addition to a number of suggestions to show how the ideas can be put to use in a classroom or at home with children.
Brain Compatible Learning draws on ideas about attention, emotion and participation to inform lesson planning. At Springfields, this approach connects the learning environment with the way children engage with a topic.
Leader in Me
Helping students drive personal change and growth
Leader in Me is a school transformation program teaching leadership and life skills through the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. At Springfields, it empowers students and staff to thrive by fostering collaboration, independence, and recognizing every child’s unique leadership potential in all aspects of life.
Seven habits in practice
01
Be Proactive
We embolden students to take charge and assume responsibilities in various simulated real-life scenarios that highlight global issues and help boost their interpersonal dynamics.
02
Begin With the End in Mind
Our teachers and counsellors assist our children with their short- and long-term goal setting process, while identifying significant milestones that ensure that the vision for the future is clear and their actions are aligned accordingly.
03
Put First Things First
Our students are constantly guided to focus on what’s important and help bring them closer to their vision, instead of getting distracted by unimportant tasks.
04
Think Win-Win
We encourage our students to yearn for strong relationships as the biggest takeback, and thus always pursue a solution in a problem-case scenario that is acceptable to all parties.
05
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Our team aims to foster the temperament for patient listening among our students, and thus make room for perspectives from across the board to be weighed in, before laying forward their recommendations and solutions.
06
Synergize
Our students are made to understand by practice that contributions of many shall far exceed that of any individual. This helps them achieve more than they could have ever done on their own.
07
Sharpen The Saw
We plan our students’ day in a manner that it remains well-balanced and sustainable. We give them time to recuperate, recharge and be effective in the long run, and thus come to school physically and mentally fresh, every day.
