 Schools in Kumbakonam - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

Laing Middle School’s Whole-School STEM Initiative began in the spring of 2012 with four months of planning between school administrators, faculty, representatives of the Trident Regional Education Center (one of 12 centers established by the South Carolina legislature to provide guidance and experience needed for students to take full advantage of real opportunities in the South Carolina economy), and the lead author who is a professional scientist and science education writer. This planning was critical to ensuring that the initiative was responsive to faculty needs and concerns. Chief among these concerns was the potential impact of the new initiative on instructional time needed to adequately address existing mandated curriculum standards. For this reason, an early guiding principle for developing the initiative was “begin with existing standards.” Another key early decision was to begin implementing the whole-school STEM concept in the sixth grade during the 2012-13 school year, with implementation in seventh and eighth grades scheduled to occur in the two subsequent school years. In practice, teacher interest and enthusiasm have resulted in the introduction of STEM content in all grades during the 2012-13 school year, although the primary emphasis has been upon sixth grade classes. The first step in identifying specific STEM content was to review the curriculum sequence for all core subjects (English language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics) for the entire 36-week school year, and to identify activities relevant to multiple subjects that also provide opportunities to apply the engineering design process and to address Standards for Technological Literacy developed by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) [4]. For example, during the first quarter of the school year, science classes study plants, social studies classes study primitive agrarian civilizations, English language arts classes study fictional and nonfictional writing, and mathematics classes study stem and leaf plots, variables, decimals, and fractions. After considering this combined content, it was decided to have students design and build functional greenhouses, based on the ITEEA “Engineering by Design” unit on greenhouse design .

 Related Outreach of Knowledge icse school system-Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School Students graduating in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have traditionally been in high demand for their skills. Statistics compiled by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and United States Department of Labor (DOL) show this historical trend and project significant increases in demand for the next decade despite the current economic co nditions [1,2]. Because of the high demand for STEM graduates and the contribution of high-technology industries to the country’s economic growth, significant effort mu st be placed on providing sufficient supply.   Several excellent programs have been initiated to create high school curricula with engineering content. One such program is Project Lead The Way (PLTW) which offers several courses with engineeri...

 Best School in Kumbakonam Students Evaluation - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School The student’s feedback was collected by the author at the end of the third week and after the contest (after all kids had left the university and everything was cleaned up). The following points were discussed: Were you able to improve your soft skills like organization abilities, project management and team work? Did you learn something about embedded system? How did you feel being su pported by the lecturer? How was the cooperation in your team? Students reported that they learned technical knowledge as well as professional skills which included project organization and project management. They also reported that they really liked the project itself and had fun doing this for High School kids who may be would study at the same university later on. At most the students liked the real event at the end so they felt very motivated thru al...

KARTHI VIDHYALAYA http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/ This exploratory case study research describes the integration of ICT into the teaching and learning of English, mathematics and science in an elementary level future school in Singapore. The school in this case study research is the first primary level future school that was set up under the FutureSchools@Singapore program in 2008. The school’s core mission is to seek innovative teaching approaches that leverage on technologies to better engage the new generation of young learners. The school has implemented a successful one-to-one program (i.e., one-to-one computer to student ratio) for all its students. The program ensures a two-to-one student-to-computer ratio for its Primary 1 students and one-to-one student-to-computer ratio for Primary 2 and 3. Computer ownership program, where students procure and own their own notebook computers, has been introduced to all Primary 4 students. The program promotes the visi...
