Curriculum Framework

The NatureNurture Learning Programme has its foundation based strongly on the guidelines set by the National Curriculum Framework and National Educational Policy 2020, which are mandatory for all educational institutions to adhere to.  The curriculum framework details big ideas, essential questions, vocabulary, concepts and competencies that define the learning standards.

Our learning outcomes go much beyond the boundaries of Languages, Mathematics and Environmental Study; they encompass and incorporate domains like health and wellness, scientific thinking, creative thinking and expression, personal and socio-emotional development, etc.

Clear Standards

Learning standards provide the framework for learning. NatureNurture Learning Outcomes in all key learning areas are based on the guidelines provided by the National Curriculum Framework and NEP 2020, and are thoughtfully and strategically identified keeping in mind

 the Indian demographic needs as well as the global needs of the learners.

 

The Learning Outcomes document is revised regularly and factors in the needs of the changing times. Each year learning outcomes are added, keeping in mind the changing teaching-learning pedagogies and evolving needs of the learners.

Materials & Resources

Once the learning outcomes are determined, we plan the materials and resources with meticulous precision to achieve the goals. Our materials and resources include books, software, and other educational aids. The learning outcomes are achieved not just through books, but also through a plethora of hands-on learning activities that are designed to engage the learners in critical thinking and processing.

Instructions

Even with the best material and resources, learning can only happen when the instructions and lesson plans are

Instruction icon with paper and pencil, ensuring effective teaching in NatureNurture's integrated curriculum

beautifully planned. Therefore, our instructions are based on a judicious mix of acclaimed pedagogic practices and approaches from across the world, which are incorporated in our lesson plans and adapted for virtual classrooms. Our educators are trained, guided and augmented continuously to ensure that learners are engaged in concrete and hands–on discovery, experimentation and learning, even in virtual classrooms.

 

The lesson plans, based on virtual learning cycles, aid the educators to build on learners' prior knowledge to create understandings and information. In our classrooms, educators ask open ended questions that encourage children to think about what comes next or what they want to know more about, thus developing creativity, problem solving, intuition and inventiveness in learners by challenging and encouraging them.

Fair Assessments

No matter how detailed the learning outcomes,

or how good the materials and resources to achieve them, no curriculum is complete without a systematic and scientific assessment of its success. Therefore, the NatureNurture Learning Program has a strongly structured plan to assess all aspects of the curriculum. First, the school system is assessed to attest that it can support successful implementation of the curriculum. Then the teaching-learning process in the classroom is assessed to ensure flawless implementation of the curriculum.

As parents play an important role in the children's learning, they too are assessed for their cooperation and support. Finally, the learners' progress is assessed.  NatureNurture has expanded the scope of assessment to include assessment as, for and of learning.

Intervention

A NatureNurture Practitioner observes and assesses children’s abilities, interests, and achievements using standards as the guide. Diagnostic and Remedial interventions are a part of everyday practices.  The educator revises activities, adjusts lesson plans, and accommodates the children’s individual differences, allowing them to master skills at their own pace.
