In the St.Xavier public School, students are grouped with the goal of matching individual learning needs with the instruction content. Course material is mastered in a phased process — introduction, practice, review and application. The mastered material then becomes a foundation for future learning.
In each class, teachers help students focus by circulating through the room, using direct instruction methods, encouraging interaction among students, and strategically pacing lesson content and activities.
In the subjects of math, reading, and writing, students are ability-grouped and progress is monitored on an ongoing basis. Class groupings can change as students either advance in ability, or require extra support or remediation. In science and social studies, students are grouped according to grade level, allowing students to be exposed to the State of Odisha standards while maintaining a continued emphasis on mastery of the material.
Students also participate in “specials” each week, consisting of physical education, music, library, computer skills and art. Overall student progress is monitored weekly and parents remain well-informed about their child’s progress.
