Due to Covid-19 Pandemic, Schools have been closed for a long
period and there is a gap in teaching learning process. Government has
provided energized textbooks and notebooks to all children and
telecasting educational content videos in Kalvi TV and other private
channels also. To reach the unreached, idio
are being
broadcast in All India Radio. Though Government of Tamil Nadu has
taken stringent effort to mitigate the learning loss still there is a gap.
In Kalvi TV, video lessons are telecast from 5:30 am to 10:30 p.m
covering all classes, Detailed time table has been prepared for all
classed based on the telecast schedule and sent to all schools to enable
the students to watch the programme without missing it. Teachers are
also informed to watch the programmes and facilitate the children in their
learning process In addition to that, many teachers are preparing
educational contents on their own and reaching the children through
social media like, Whatsapp and Google Meet. They also continuously
monitor and ensure their learning.
But it is found that in some places, there is some lacuna in the
teaching learning process. The principal Secretary of School Education
instructed SCERT to ensure uniformity in the teaching learning process
among the children to attain the learning outcomes. SO SCERT is
entrusted with the task of developing month wise assignments to all the
classes. These assignments will be sent to all the schools to enable the
students to do the tasks themselves with the support of their teachers.
These are only suggestive and model assignments and the teachers can
develop variety of assignments on their own based on this. This effort
will really streamline and synchronies all the efforts put forth by the
teachers.
For Primary level (1 to V) the assignments will be based on
creativity. They can be given projects which relate to the day to day life
activities like preparing greeting cards, creating art works, writing new
words on their own and so on. They will be given minimum two projects
per subject for a month which will kindle the interest of the students to
perform the assignment, and if it requires, they can get the assistance of
their subject teachers.
For classes (VI-VIII) the project will be like testing the
comprehensive skill. They can do simple experiment, composition
writing, creating portfolio, sharing their experiences on some trips, letter
writing etc.
For classes (IX-X) the assignments will focus on the content. The
students can be asked to do various projects and writing assignments on
the given topics, book review, doing simple experiments with available
low cast or no cast materials
I Kindly request to instruct the CEOs to follow the guidelines given
below without fail.
Month wise and subject wise assignments will be prepared and
sent to CEOs.
CEOs and DEOs should ensure creating WhatsAPP groups with
HMs in all High and Higher Secondary School. BEOs should
ensure the creation of Whats App groups with HMs in all Primary
and Middle Schools.
• Inspecting officers should share the unit wise assignments
prepared by SCERT in all HMs groups.
• HMs shoud share them in School groups and instruct the teachers
to share the assignment to the children through WhatsApp groups.
.
• The students can do the assignments in their notebooks referring
the textbooks and submit to the teachers.
• Teachers should not insist the children to do all the assignments at
the same time. The teacher should distribute the assignments on
weekly basis and should assist them to do the assignments.
• Teachers should analyse the assignments of the students and find
out the difficult areas. To enrich their learning level in these areas,
the teachers should share the concerned students the digital
contents in OR codes, content videos telecast in Kalvi TV through
WhatsApp
HMs should ensure the submission of the assignments by the
students and should instruct the subject teachers to maintain the
records regarding the number of assignments submitted by the
