Well begun is half done

Setting targets, developing plans, executing them, work on the weakness, banking on the strength etc. are the commonly used words in corporate world. Weekly meetings to set milestones, efficient time management, few of the many skills employed by many of the successful firms.

But here i am not talking about some strategies of a multinational company, but scientific approach taken by the teachers and students of Atmiya Vidya Mandir(AVM). Teachers and students at AVM never shy away from the use of technology and methodological approach.

Students of class 10 spent the last week doing all of the above mentioned activities as a part of preparation of their forthcoming board exams. As per the new format of CBSE board students of class 10 are gearing up for a very important chapter in their life.

As per the new CCE system developed by the CBSE board, students are evaluated throughout the year through their classwork, homework, assignment etc. along with the final written exam. The final mark sheet would include both evaluations. So it is important for students to know where they are and what sort of score they would need to achieve in forthcoming written exams to be able to achieve their targets.

Teachers prepared an excel sheet for the students which would indicate what would be their target. A mentor - students list was created to help students identify their goals as well as form the strategies to achieve their goals.

Students were very keen to use such statistics to motivate themselves and prepare for the board exams. Going forward students will seat down with their mentors to come up with an effective study timetable so that they can prepare well.

Sometimes we feel it is too much for the young students, but when we see them embrace such situations and prepare themselves for a very competitive environment outside the school, you cannot help but be glad and admire these young minds.
