Principal's Message
"Sa Vidya ya vimuktaye," - that
which is true knowledge, liberates
Vidya implies "right knowledge" or clarity. It develops
a person's faculties, especially his mind so that he may
be able to enjoy the contemplation of supreme truth,
goodness and beauty (satyam, shivam, sundaram)
the ingredients of perfect bliss (paramanand). The
opposite of vidya is avidya that is, ignorance or
misinformation. To attain knowledge, we need to
educate ourselves.
Over the last decades, the meaning of giftedness
has evolved from being an inherent global ability to
potential giftedness, and capacities found during the
developmental stages. Howard Gardner's 'Theory of
Multiple Intelligences' has added new perspectives.
The latest thought employs the idea that each
individual possesses some gift which can be drawn
out in a nurturant environment. Col Satsangi's Kiran
Memorial Public School has been a fertile ground for
action research and innovative methods for effective
development of the latent gifts of all children.
All children possess above normal capacity in one or
many facets of their individuality. As teachers we need
to harness this potential. In many cases the parents and teachers do not even recognize the gift their
children may possess. Most of these children function
well within the basic expectations in a classroom. How
much they can accomplish remains undiscovered. The
role of an awakened teacher is to assist each child to
discover their untapped potential and actualize their
innate ability.
Ability is evenly distributed in the population while
achievement is not. An inclusive approach is required
in schools so that all children have freedom to explore
and discover possibilities. CSKM offers a flexible
strategy encompassing various interventions to cater
to needs of all kinds of learners.
CSKM looks at identifying and nurturing a growing
pool of gifted students. Provision for them is made
in terms of their promise and ability and not past
achievement. Giftedness is multi dimensional,
contextually and culturally sensitive, manifest in
multiple ways, more amenable to assessment than
identification. It needs emphasis on continuous and
long term assessment and is based on a philosophy of
inclusiveness requiring collaborative partnerships.
CSKM converts underachieving learners to self
confident achievers. Children are nurtured to develop
the ability to solve problems, innovate and create.
Situations that use task commitment, creativity,
practical and analytical thinking to solve actual or
simulated real world problems are devised as learning
opportunities in the environment.
CSKM aims to pave the way for each child to become
an exemplary human being, a leader, an entrepreneur
one who respects others and works towards a world of
peace, harmony and happiness for all.
