Teachers review is an essential aspect of teaching evaluation, both for improvement and for personnel decisions, for several reasons. First, faculty are in a unique position to evaluate and provide feedback on aspects of their colleagues’ teaching that are beyond the expertise of students. These include the instructor’s knowledge of the field, how up to date the course materials are, the appropriate level of rigor, and contributions to course and curriculum development. In addition, as experienced teachers themselves, faculty can offer colleagues important perspectives to inform efforts to improve teaching, from discussions of course materials to debriefs of classroom observations. Finally, peer review – when done well – can lead to a number of benefits for the departmental and campus culture of teaching. These include the creation of a more robust conversation about criteria for excellent teaching, greater sharing of successes and challenges among colleagues, and an increased profile for teaching as an important part of the intellectual life of faculty and graduate students. The following resources offer guidance on various aspects of peer review. VKGK consultants are also available to consult with faculty committees, chairs, or associate deans who wish to set up or revise their strategies for peer review for teachers.
The evaluation of teachers based on the contribution they make to the learning of their students, value-added, is an increasingly popular but controversial education reform policy. We highlight and try to clarify four areas of confusion about value-added. The first is between value-added information and the uses to which it can be put. One can, for example, be in favor of an evaluation system that includes value-added information without endorsing the release to the public of value-added data on individual teachers. The second is between the consequences for teachers vs. those for students of classifying and misclassifying teachers as effective or ineffective — the interests of students are not always perfectly congruent with those of teachers. The third is between the reliability of value-added measures of teacher performance and the standards for evaluations in other fields — value-added scores for individual teachers turn out to be about as reliable as performance assessments used elsewhere for high stakes decisions. The fourth is between the reliability of teacher evaluation systems that include value-added vs. those that do not — ignoring value-added typically lowers the reliability of personnel decisions about teachers. We conclude that value-added data has an important role to play in teacher evaluation systems, but that there is much to be learned about how best to use value-added information in human resource decisions.
VKGK Teachers, are reviewed based on certain parameter’s that unwinds the teacher performance and help them to update and upgrade themselves for the professional development.
While teachers in training to familiarize themselves with the Common Core standards and the associated tests, it is also vital that they observe and participate with cooperating teachers using as many innovative methods as possible for as long as possible. This can even start in high school.
For each class they visit they should be assigned one or more students to get to know. The students selected for such mentoring should include the neediest students who have disruptive tendencies.
Some observations should take place on the first day of school as many student teachers never see day one.
Visit classes where group projects are in action so future teachers can facilitate small group activity. It also makes sense to work with small groups prior to dealing with an entire class.
The most important part of new teacher training should focus on how teachers can build strong working relationships with their students. The research I do daily is convincing me that there is an emerging consensus on the primary importance of relationships.
It’s important to see veteran teachers who don’t let their egos get in the way. If you see lots of teachers in action, you can also learn from some who I call negative examples.
If standardized testing is scaled back or ultimately eliminated, young teachers need to be ready to teach in ways they were probably never taught.The same is true for professors preparing new teachers. Some have yet to see things like flipped classrooms or classes where every student has a laptop.
Trainees need to be ready for innovations such as badges in place of grades, schools without grade levels, self-paced personalized learning, real-world long-term projects, and efforts to create self-directed learners.There is also an increased emphasis on allowing students to pursue their own interests and passions and to evaluate their own work.New methods call for a need to retrofit at least some in the professor class.

We have ensured that every classroom is fitted with multimedia computers. We have got, interactive whiteboards or ‘smart boards’. Each classroom is fitted with a smart board, which is connected to an overhead projector and the classroom computer. These boards are used along with educational software to help make teaching and learning an effectual, interactive and fun process.
Social learning theory is based on the work of psychologist Albert Bandura. According to social learning theory, behaviors can also be learned through observation and modeling. By observing the actions of others, including parents and peers, children develop new skills and acquire new information.
Child development theories focus on explaining how children change and grow over the course of childhood. Such theories center on various aspects of development including social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
The study of human development is a rich and varied subject. We all have personal experience with development, but it is sometimes difficult to understand how and why people grow, learn, and act as they do.
Why do children behave in certain ways? Is their behavior related to their age, family relationships, or individual temperaments? Developmental psychologists strive to answer such questions as well as to understand, explain, and predict behaviors that occur throughout the lifespan.
The Sensorimotor Stage: A period of time between birth and age two during which an infant’s knowledge of the world is limited to his or her sensory perceptions and motor activities. Behaviors are limited to simple motor responses caused by sensory stimuli.
The Preoperational Stage: A period between ages 2 and 6 during which a child learns to use language. During this stage, children do not yet understand concrete logic, cannot mentally manipulate information and are unable to take the point of view of other people.
The Concrete Operational Stage: A period between ages 7 and 11 during which children gain a better understanding of mental operations. Children begin thinking logically about concrete events, but have difficulty understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts.
The Formal Operational Stage: A period between age 12 to adulthood when people develop the ability to think about abstract concepts. Skills such as logical thought, deductive reasoning, and systematic planning also emerge during this stage.
In order to implement these theory in VKGK curriculum, We have a frame work on how children’s should be thought in each and every stage as suggested by our child physiologist and educational experts.
We have chosen the KOSHA Curriculum based on its developmentally appropriate approach to learning.
The Kosha Curriculum is based on 38 objectives for development and learning that are aligned with the NCRT Learning Standards, covering language and literacy, math and science, social skills, physical development, critical thinking and the arts. The philosophy behind the Creative Curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work, and to understand firsthand about the world in which we live.
Our goal in using the kosha Curriculumis to help children become enthusiastic learners. We encourage children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and think their own thoughts. We want to help children become independent, self-confident and inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives.
We incorporate additional resources to allow our teachers to have access to numerous tools for lesson planning and implementation. Our theme-based lessons will last anywhere from 2-6 weeks, depending on the topic and the children’s interest level. Lesson plans are posted outside each classroom so that you can stay involved in your child’s daily activities
VKGK curriculum is subject centered with students and teachers oriented, where creative in teaching, various type of learner and level of involvement is kept in mind and relevant teaching method and material are used for effective learning.
We recognize that developing a child’s social competencies enhances his/her ability to succeed in school, in work, and in life.
Conscious Discipline is a relationship-based, community model for helping children develop problem solving and self-regulation skills. It has been proven to improve the quality of teacher-child interactions, improve the school climate, and can lead to increases in academic readiness and achievement, which is why we have chosen to implement these strategies into our classrooms.
We have a well stocked libraries with a diverse range of books allow students to travel across time into different worlds. We have educational and recreational books as well as other multimedia resources for both, the students and staff, to access. The spacious, airy library has been designed to foster an interest in books and is intended to offer every child the opportunity to explore and develop his or her individual interests. The library uses an integrated management system that ensures efficient day-to-day running, circulation and inventory management.
