transformation and sometimes a small change gives us immense pleasure and excitement to work more

Impact of leadership programme in transforming the teaching-learning ambiance in GSSS Katrain:

The school has been making earnest efforts for the development of pupils in terms of their scholastic
achievements. Some of the important steps taken in this direction are as under:

1. Shift in the priorities in school development plan: Before this leadership programme, we used to set
physical development of the school in the highest priority but now we set academic improvement on our
top priority.

2. Setting of Long term goal (vision): The school has set ―Holistic development of every child in a
fearless, caring and child-centered learning environment‖ as its long-term goal and is all set to achieve it.

3. Shift in SMC meeting agenda: In the monthly meetings of SMC, discussion on learning and teaching
consumes a major portion of the time since the advent of SLDP. The school in particular is ensuring the
sharing of students‘ progress with the parents. The achievements of pupils in every monthly and terminal
test are discussed and analyzed in all the SMC meetings.

4. Diagnostics of weak students through basic literacy and numeracy assessment using ASER
tools. Since the learning of every student has become our major concern, the school conducted basic
literacy and numeracy assessment tests in May 2014 and 2015 and conducted effective remedial classes
for weak students. We conducted a similar assessment after the remedy and found 12 to 20 percent
improvement.

5. Cluster level and School level workshops of teachers: Since the success in implementation of quality
improvement programme depends upon the persons involved in teaching the children, their continuous
growth and exposure to the new ideas, policies, and programming simple us to hold regular workshops on
various issues. However, we started holding workshops at school levels on important issues such as lesson
plan, Bloom's taxonomy, SWOT analysis, Higher Order and lower order questions and assessment since
2013 but subject teachers‘ workshops at cluster level started in 2015.
