Ullens School
delivers its educational curriculum based on Developmental Interaction
Approach popularly known as Bank
Street approach of Education and Developing
Capable People in collaboration with Bank
Street.
These approaches to
teaching and learning recognize that children learn best when they are
actively engaged with materials, ideas and people. Ullens School team
encourages children to be curious, good learner, be respectful and
tolerant of human differences and engage with the world around them. We
provide diverse opportunities for physical, social, emotional and
cognitive growth. We believe that learning happens when there is an
interaction with each other and with their environment. Simultaneously
activities are designed to develop child's multiple intelligences.
Developing Capable
People is an initiative for teachers to help children develop
self-discipline, responsibility, cooperation and problem solving
skills. Children do not develop responsibility when teachers are too
strict and permissive. Children learn responsibility when they have
opportunity to learn in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. We focus
on seven significances- three perceptions (I am capable; I am needed
and I can influence what happens to me) and four skills (intrapersonal,
interpersonal, systematic and judgmental)
Questioning, thinking
critically, discovering, cooperating, learning responsibility and
justice are encouraged and complying, conforming, imitating, fearing,
discrediting and narrow-mindedness are constrained.
