ACADEMIC COUNCIL The Academic
Council is an advisory body. Its
role is to discuss & review academic policies of the school and to
suggest modifications from time to time.
This body plays a crucial role to see that the philosophy of the
school is reflected in the academic curriculum and at the same time to see
that the academic curriculum takes cognisance of its relevance in present
social circumstances and aims to fulfill the aspirations of the students
and parents. The composition of the Council is as follows: Permanent
Members: Temporary
Members: ROLE
OF RESOURCE PERSONNEL BIS relies on experts in different academic fields for its enrichment programme for students. These resource persons are invited from time to time to talk to students at assemblies and to smaller groups of students. The School enlists
the help of these resource persons on a long-term basis to cover a
particular area of study that has been undertaken by the faculty members
as a Project or a Scheme of Study. SPECIAL PROGRAMME The school
endeavours to see that every teacher assumes the role of a special needs
teacher, adapting the teaching to the individual learning styles of
children. Hence the 'child in
need’ is not separated from the class to work with the remedial teacher. In the Primary
School, special worksheets are devised as per the level of the child
concerned. In the senior
classes, the programme involves coaching the child in special test-taking
skills. BIS have special
modes for helping dyslexic students even in Senior School. In the Primary
& Middle School, testing is carried out, as the School needs to
identify students with learning difficulties.
This helps them to get subject waivers, when necessary, from the
ICSE Council. |
