Parents in Education

“Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.”

At KRMVP, parents fulfill an important role in the education of their children in school. Families working together with the school can create an outstanding educational environment and experience for all. We seek to welcome new families, keep parents informed about what’s happening in the school, provide opportunities to get together and offer meaningful and relevant programming for the parent community. The Parent Teacher Meetings provide an opportunity for a meaningful interaction with the parents regarding the performance of the children and keep them informed about the proceedings of our school.

Beginning with morning assemblies, events and the workshops conducted for the students of classes I – XII, parents on a regular basis interact with students. The following are a wide range of workshops and orientation programs held for both, students and parents :

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

KRM believes that it is one of the best ways to help students develop intellectual skills in a way that leverages their strengths and shores up their weaknesses through multiple intelligences. As Howard Gardner asserts- anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences. The Multiple Intelligence approach provides educators with a framework and tools that will allow them to meet the needs of the different types of learners present in the classroom. We focus on reinforcing several skills – linguistic, mathematical, art, music, nature, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal and kinesthetic. An athlete, for example, could have strong bodily-kinesthetic and spatial intelligence but poor musical intelligence. That’s why it’s important to use instructional strategies that involve a variety of these multiple intelligences so every child has the opportunity to learn in a way that works best for them. Giving our students the chance to discover and develop their different intelligences can have a series of benefits for them. Mingling curricular and co- curricular skills to strengthen concepts can help them become more involved and active learners.

PARENTS INVOLVEMENT

We, at KRM, realize the immense importance of parental involvement in the education of the students and for their wholesome development. When schools collaborate with parents to help their children learn and when parents participate in school activities and decision-making about their children’s education, children achieve at higher levels. We regularly have meetings with the parents to talk about the schoolwork where they share ideas and discuss the child’s progress and problems.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

School activities, events and functions are great opportunities to bring together students and parents. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in school functions, contests, and sports events. Children naturally want to exhibit their talents and skills for everyone to see, especially their parents. Class presentations, special occasions like Annual Day and Sports Day cannot be imagined without the involvement of the parents. Behind the scenes as well as guests of honor, the parents and school are intertwined to make the events successful. The Orientation session gives parents a platform to voice their concern and ask questions which are further addressed by the school.

WORKSHOP FOR STUDENTS

Workshops for students by parents related to areas of their expertise are often held in the school. The workshops are conducted on topics which are relevant for the teenagers like adolescence issues, stress management, mathematics phobia etc. One of the many workshops conducted by the parents was “Making communication with Teens a joyful experience”. This was a very informative and an enriching session for the students and teachers. Parents contribute their own knowledge and skills at all levels, to assist in the child’s learning and to support the school’s goal of “Together Towards Tomorrow.”
