FOREWORD
Dear Parents,

Education is often mistaken to mean literacy and academics alone, as

technology steps in with major interventions and the world ushers in new
paradigms of learning, school education now seems set for a major
overhaul in ways that we need to prepare our future generations for life as
professionals and productive and useful members of the civil society.
Even more importantly, the schools have evolved by working
collaboratively with community to address the challenges that the children
face in the fast-paced environment today. To protect and promote the
development of each student, schools and the community must accept
responsibility of maintaining conditions conducive to the development of
intellectual, academic, physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health of
all students.
As a leader in school education, Delhi Public School Ghaziabad Society is
reaching out to build vibrant partnership with families and communities. It
focuses on creating structures, opportunities and events that will bring
stakeholders together. The group carries a wealth of expertise and
experience to create meaningful teaching-learning environment in schools
with the Curriculum Design 2020 in place.
The society may further assist families with parenting skills, family support,
understanding child and adolescent development, and setting home
conditions to support learning at each age and grade level. Schools
become an extended family and families provide learning opportunities to
their wards, in sync with curricula for scholastic and Foundational Domains.
As we step into the academic session 2022-23, we assume that students,
parents, teachers and community would connect with the CD 2020 with
Blended Learning and develop meaningful context. We optimize
experiential learning by creating an inquiry based, student-led classrooms.

To ensure that you and your ward derives full value from the school, this
almanac lists out some important policies and a framework of working
relationship amongst all the stakeholders; the school, parents and the
student hereby commit themselves irrevocably to comply with and be
bound by letter and spirit of such policies.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Dear Stakeholders
Greetings!!
A glorious session has begun, so also a journey to learn through
experiences, observations, hard work and commitments. The aim of the
school is to provide opportunities and quality education to the students
in every field i.e., academics, sports and cultural. It’s a journey towards
perfection – which can be rewarding and full of accomplishments if we
strive to remove the barriers of effectiveness. What I feel is to chart the
roadmap with Super-positivity, ambition and yes! ACTION!! DPSGV is
an institution where students are empowered to learn in their own way
and find their destiny. Not all lessons need to be academic – they can
be life-lessons which we want our children to learn as well for which a
joint effort is ultimately required to meet this end.
The path in today’s scenario is challenging but the wheels of progress
will have to be steered with determination, the right direction and a
sense of purpose. Remember, rights and duties run parallel! I feel glad
to present the e- almanac 2022-2023 in your hands for the purpose of
making you familiar with the code of conduct and also to make the
communication highly effective. The school almanac is the only link
between home and school, thereby intend to materialise this almanac
to establish an intimate and valuable understanding between parents
and mentors. A perfect co-ordination can be maintained between the
two to shape the future career of our dear children.
Let us make the best of every situation as our combined efforts will help
our children to be the best in every field and that’s what I wish for!!
I do agree that the recent times has provided us with a strange glimpse
into the possible future of learning and growth and we have accepted
the challenge, rather set challenges with rewards!
Last but not the least, Dear parents, feel free to contact us for any issue
related to your ward. Looking forward to your esteemed help, support
and active co-operation.
‘LEARNING IS NOT THE PRODUCT OF TEACHING.
LEARNING IS THE PRODUCT OF THE ACTIVITY OF LEARNERS’.

Happy Reading!!

Warm Regards
Trilok Singh Bist

GUIDING PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCHOOL

“A happy school with blend of values, tradition, technology to enable young

learners become creative problem solvers and responsible global citizens.”
Our guiding philosophy and approach is a synthesized expression of our
years of experience of observing and engaging with how children learn; our
collective endeavor of exploration and research of new pathways and our
aspiration to bring to the fore their true and best potential.
The new Curriculum Design 2020 is all about learners exploring,
investigating, discovering, learning, evolving and preparing for life.
And that every learner is unique and therefore classroom diversity is the
new opportunity for Learners and Educators.
Salient Features:
 Physical, Mental, Emotional and Social Development of the learner
 Learning instead of teaching
The new shift will ensure that the learners take lead in all educational
transactions and teachers ensure that learners partake this new role
and teachers become facilitators.
 Student-led inquiry-based learning
Instead of teacher led teaching, learners investigate, explore, discover,
collect, collate, analyse, present, discuss and debate under the
guidance and supervision of their teachers.
 Experiential and joyful instead of didactic
Making learning hands-on and connected to lived reality of the
learners.
 Setting up Personal Learning Pathways (PLP)
The learners, under the overall guidance and support of their teachers,
create their own learning pathways, that address their needs, learning
styles, pace and resources.
 Assessment as learning milestone
Assessments are used to ‘aid’ and ‘guide’ learning in stress free, non-
judgmental and non-threatening environments.
 Authentic task-based assessments
Focus on authentic contextualized task providing learners
opportunities to explore, discover, reconstruct, refine and demonstrate
classroom learning to real life situations

DPSGV LANGUAGE POLICY 2022-23

THE PURPOSE
Communication being the thread which links the world, it becomes
absolutely essential that our students learn to communicate effectively and
accurately. Language plays a pivotal role in effective communication,
hence, the need to develop a better quality of language amongst our
students. Simultaneously, any learning process involves learning of
languages too. Learners use language as a tool to listen, think, discuss and
reflect on information, ideas and issues. It empowers the learner and
provides an intellectual framework to support conceptual development and
critical thinking.
DPSGV, being an English medium school, uses English as the working
language within the premises of the school. The educators not only use
English as the medium of instructions but also expect the learners to think
and respond in the same language, hence, it becomes essential that the
English language be introduced and developed Early Years onwards.
Keeping this purpose in mind, this language policy provides a framework
that will ensure adequate development of the four skills (LSRW) of the
language, however, developing isolated skillset through prescribed
literature and grammar books can cause difficulties for the learner. The
learners must be provided with opportunities to engage in learning
language within meaningful contexts.
The language profile of students in National Capital Region is diverse and
complex in nature, therefore, for children below 6 years of age, the
educators need to be flexible in the language of instruction. Students are
given ample exposure to English language through repeated audio and
visual inputs, hence, equipping them with a common language skill to
establish healthy and meaningful social interactions.
Through years 6-9, students are expected to have adequate command over
English language. Age-group 10 onwards, additional languages like
French, Sanskrit and Japanese are introduced. Exposure to and
experience with languages, with all their richness and diversity, creates an
inquisitiveness about life and learning, and a confidence about creating new
social interactions.
Language provides a vehicle for learners to engage with the world and,
acquisition of more than one language enriches personal development and
helps facilitate international mindedness.
At DPSG Vasundhara, National standards of language, IB standards and
global standards are referred to develop the scope and sequence of
language curriculum. Vertical and horizontal alignment is ensured between
PYP and the National Board classes.

OBJECTIVES
The objective for this Language Policy is to design a uniform methodology
of addressing Learner’s needs in the areas of:
1. Effective communication Skills
2. Building Confidence
3. Increasing comprehension of learning modules
4. Empowering research and knowledge enhancement skills
5. Receptive skills (Listening and reading)
6. Productive skills (speaking and writing)
SCHOOL’S CULTURE
Speak softly and pleasantly, smile always, be positive and progressive.
Feel good, look good and do good, and show confidence. At DPSGV, we
aspire to develop an ecosystem of learners, teachers, parents and visitors
who communicate with each other through understanding and respect.
Support and Enhancement strategies

 School recognizes the potentiality of ATLs in enhancing language and

uses these approaches to learning in language development.

 In teaching, learning and assessing, Phases of language learning as

suggested in PYP practices are referred to identify the levels of the
students and render appropriate support.

 English being the medium of instruction, prior knowledge is assessed

during admission. For all those who require special support in English,
school accommodates time, space, work and people.

 Records from Induction program done at the time of admission will be

used to give appropriate support in language development.

 Differentiated instructional plans for varying learning needs.

 Tests for identifying strengths and weaknesses in grammatical areas

of language will be conducted to give suitable support. Assessments
will be analyzed to plan diagnostic work.

 Collaborative planning sessions also aim at building collective

responsibility of teachers to develop language of all students.

 Teachers across the DPSG group of schools researched and

developed the ELCC (English Language Curriculum & Competencies).
The curriculum has been designed in such a way that the classes have
been divided into grade groups (Pre Nur- KG/ Classes 1 & 2/ Classes
3-5/ Classes 6-8/ Classes 9 & 10/ Classes 11 & 12) and the skill sets,
strategies and level indicators have been worked upon. This has been
taken as a base for developing the LSRW skills.

AUTHENTIC AND DIVERSE LANGUAGE LEARNING

EXPERIENCES IN THE SCHOOL:
Creative writing policy: Writing tasks are incorporated in Unit of Inquiries,
with additional tasks for children to write creatively and assess their work
through self, peer or teacher assessments.
Communicators: Class assemblies to encourage public speaking, oratory
skills, confidence and fluency. Additional tasks for expressing views,
exposure to a variety of speaking skills are well incorporated in the Unit of
Inquiries.
Assemblies and Special Events: Children are encouraged to respect and
appreciate all languages and mother tongue. And events like Hindi Diwas,
inter- house and inter section competitions like recitation are created to
celebrate mother tongue.
School functions: Many Indian languages and foreign languages are
included in the school functions to give exposure to students.
REVIEW PROCESS
Annual review is done during the Curriculum review meetings to ensure
upgradation of language teaching in the school. Departmental review
meetings are done periodically to review language development and plan
for further improvements. Language policy is done by language teachers,
homeroom teachers (HRTs), class wise subject in-charges, Heads of
Departments, Exam In-charge, PYP Coordinator.

RATIONALE/ STATEMENT FOR ACADEMIC

INTEGRITY POLICY
It is important for the school to develop a policy for academic honesty. At
DPSG Vasundhara we stand committed to imparting quality education for
the holistic development of the children, with a focus on the learner profile
thus ensuring that each child develops the virtue of honesty in life- honesty
as a virtue to help in lifelong being which stems from being honest from the
inception at school. Children should be honest towards, self, their work and
presenting their learning acquired. This will encourage them to be original
and appreciate work done by others. The policy encourages practices that
are fair, transparent, known to all the four stakeholders. Also it is a guiding
document for the expectations from each stakeholder and elaborated about
the consequences of digression, if any.
STUDENTS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN WORK
 Students will be encouraged to think independently and present their
own ideas creatively. They will be encouraged to be original, develop
their own independent thinking and present their work.

 Students will be asked to reference their work, acknowledge members

or agencies for the help extended and cite or reference their work
according to the sources used.

16 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

 They will be encouraged to develop the attributes of the learner profile

from time to time.

 Parents will be addressed on how to help the children and to what

extent help should be provided. Parents should monitor children’s work
at home.

 Teachers will design tasks which will promote individual thinking and
creativity for each inquiry cycle.

 They will design the assessment criterion which will value original work
rather than copied work.

 The process and design of assessment will be discussed with the

learner so as to increase learner accountability which will reduce the
chances of plagiarism

 Teachers will reinforce the essential agreements from time to time.

CASES OF BREACH OF POLICY
 Plagiarism/ copying from the web
 Copying from another person

 Getting the work done by another/ elder

CONSEQUENCES
 A warning will be given the first-time children do this
 The child will not be given a grade for the particular work

 The parents will be called and addressed

The true purpose of assessment is to ensure quality education. Classifying
assessment as Formative or Summative is trivializing the understanding of
assessment at a deeper level, which needs to be guided by the need that
a particular assessment is addressing for example improve actions,
redesigning instruction, supporting conversations, encouraging self
directed learning, curriculum planning and review, monitoring transfer and
progress, diagnoses, resource allocation, building accountability and
motivation. The intended use governs the design and implementation of an
assessment. (Newton, 2007; Schildkamp and Kuiper, 2010).
The purpose of assessments needs to be explored from the perspective of
all stakeholders. Also, assessments must be examined as assessment to
support learning, assessment for accountability and assessment for
certification, progress and transfer. A good educational system would
balance the above three for optimization of resources, establishing well
defined goals , identifying professional development opportunities,
understanding specific learner needs, develop ethical culture and provide
pathways for reflection and improvement within the system.

17 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

Along with the purpose, the most important questions that need extensive
understanding are what and how to assess. A learner is an individual and
his/ her attributes, disposition, social and emotional conditions impact
his/her ability to acquire knowledge, skills and competencies to make his
learning relevant and contextual. Merely acquiring a body of knowledge
with no ability to apply it in real life situations implies cognitive non
assimilation of knowledge as a relevant body that would help a learner be
productive in his/her real life. Hence, besides testing the scholastic, a
deeper assessment of a student across several domains will help in
developing the right support system that will cater to individual needs and
provide the pathway to progress. Assessment and tracking are closely
interlinked as only a continuous process can yield meaningful results.
A good assessment structure needs to consider the student profile and
allow for variations within the age appropriate benchmarks.

18 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSMENT
Principle 1: Learning and development are continuous, lifelong
processes
Assessment should be ongoing and based on a continuum of
learning/development. Learning and development are maximised when
opportunities are matched to current readiness, building on what has
already been experienced, learned and developed.
Principle 2: Assessment should provide information about where
individuals are in their learning and development, and inform
practitioners in planning and delivering progressive learning
opportunities.
Emotions, beliefs and relationships play a crucial role in learning and
development
Principle 3: Assessment should build positive attitudes and self-
confidence in children, young people and learners by assisting them
to see what they have achieved and the progress they are making.
Feedback and reflection are important elements of effective learning and
development
Principle 4: Assessment should promote further learning and
development when combined with constructive feedback and
opportunities for reflection. It should enable individuals to see and
appreciate the progress that they have made and recognise that they
are being successful in their learning.
Learning and development is advanced with opportunities, support and
engagement within families and in partnership with practitioners
Principle 5: Approaches to assessment should maximise
collaboration and sharing of knowledge between families and

INCLUSION POLICY
What is inclusion?
Inclusion is an ongoing process that aims to increase access and
engagement in learning for all students by identifying and removing
barriers.
Learning Diversity in the International Baccalaureate
IB program principles and practices call for school to be organized in ways
that value student diversity and respect individual learning differences. At
DPSGV, we believe that inclusion happens best with collaboration, in a
non- judgmental and non- threatening environment where all stakeholders
are at the same plane.
Purpose of inclusion
 Clear guidelines for children who require extra support

 Communicate to all stakeholders the areas and extent of support extended

 Establish clear expectations from each stakeholder i.e role clarity

 Not only does creating greater multicultural awareness and inclusion help
students with different backgrounds and needs succeed, but it encourages
acceptance and helps prepare students to thrive in an exponentially
diverse world.

 Diversity in and out of the classroom will continue to grow, so it’s essential
we prepare students to adapt to an evolving world and embrace those
different from themselves
INCLUSION—ADMISSION POLICY
DPSGV is an inclusive school and offers inclusion as long as the infrastructure
supports the physical and learning needs of the child.
Inclusion Practices/ strategies:
FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
 Informal assessment at school level

 Referral system - / Referring for formal assessment by outside agencies/

Referring the children for intervention (special education/ occupational
therapy etc.)

 ILP’s for each learner as per requirement

 Support in the classroom – push in or pull out (after consultation with the
special educators) in collaboration with teachers.

 Student mentor support

 Scribe in cases of physical injury or visual impairment

20 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

 Altering Instructions/ Intervention/ Adaptations to make the Curriculum

Content, Teaching Methodology, and Evaluation more accessible for each
and every student

 Student and parent Counselling for guidance (incidental/ on parent’s

request etc.)

 Sensitization of peers/ classmates/ teachers/ all stakeholders

FOR SOCIO CULTURAL DIVERSITY
1. Get to Know Your Students
Ensuring that cultural awareness is promoted in the classroom starts
with the teacher understanding each individual student. Take the time
to learn about each student’s cultural background, hobbies, learning
styles, and what makes them unique. Demonstrating a genuine interest
in learning about each student and their culture will help establish trust
and allow you to form a bond with them so they feel valued. If students
feel appreciated by and comfortable with the teacher, there’s a better
chance they’ll feel comfortable talking with and respect their peers in
the class – and communication is the core to a culturally aware and
inclusive classroom.
2. Maintain Consistent Communication
Aside from getting to know students, teachers should also continue to
maintain ongoing communication throughout the school year.
Scheduling CIRCLE TIME meetings with students ON A WEEKLY
BASIS HELPS BUILD A STRONGER CONNECT. Students can talk
about whether they felt included in the classroom culture. This can help
identify issues or ways to improve the overall experience. It’s also an
opportunity to discuss their progress in the class and offer guidance on
how they can improve, based on their individual needs as a student.
3. Acknowledge and Respect Every Student
It’s also important for students to celebrate and respect their own
diverse backgrounds, as well as each other’s. When appropriate,
teachers should encourage students to research and learn about their
own ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This allows them to better
understand their own culture as well as the differences and nuances
with their peers. For this purpose the school calendar scopes in for
special assemblies and events to celebrate diversity. This creates a
safe space for discussion helps promote understanding in the
classroom and beyond. Also, as it encourages students to learn about
their diverse backgrounds, teachers take the time to highlight what’s
offensive and the distinction between cultural celebration and
appropriation. Learning how to talk about other cultures in a respectful,
mature way is essential for success in life outside the classroom.
4. Practice Cultural Sensitivity
While it’s important to keep an open dialogue amongst students, it’s
equally as important to make sure everyone is sensitive to everyone’s
culture, beliefs, and language concerns. Take the time to understand
each student’s cultural nuances – from learning styles to the language
21 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

they use – and use these insights to design your lesson plans. For
example, provide English language learners with appropriate and
relevant resources that help them improve their English
comprehension skills. Rather than teach with a traditional lecture style,
create learning experiences that are more interactive and require
collaboration. These considerations will help ensure that every student
feels included, is given the space to learn in their own way and is given
a chance to succeed.
5. Give Students Freedom and Flexibility
Teachers often feel like they need to take on a strict, authoritative
approach when it comes to managing their classroom. The most
valuable lessons are often learned through a student’s own
experiences, so giving them some freedom in the course encourages
more connection to the curriculum. Allow students to read and present
their own materials that relate to the fundamental lesson so they can
approach the topic from their own perspective. As a teacher, you can
act as a facilitator and encourage conversation and healthy debate
between diverse opinions. Group assignments are also a great way to
expose students to diverse perspectives, allowing them to work
together to explore and solve a problem. This will also help prepare
them for a diverse workforce where they’ll have to partner with a range
of people to accomplish their professional goals.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TEACH CULTURE IN THE
CLASSROOM?
Students Become More Empathetic
Students Gain a Better Understanding of Lessons and People
Students Become More Open-Minded
Students Feel More Confident and Safer
Students Are Better Prepared for a Diverse Workplace

PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES - AN OVERVIEW

Delhi Public School Ghaziabad Vasundhara is a progressive school

affiliated to CBSE. Over the years the school has adopted the latest
pedagogical practices in the field of education to nurture well rounded
personalities.
Learning- the acquisition of knowledge and skill, is essential in our journey.
As we pursue excellence and strive to be elite, learning becomes
requirement.
DPSG group of Schools under the able leadership and guidance of their
respective Principals taking the lead could come up with a very
comprehensive and well researched Curriculum Framework CD 2020. A
design of a futuristic school education program which is not just limited to
the scholastic needs of the learners but one that comprehensively
addresses; wellness- physical, mental, emotional, spiritual; environmental
awareness, social and cultural sensibilities and fostering of skills and
competencies for the emerging paradigms in 21st Century. The journey is
never ending.

JUNIOR WING
Taking a step further Delhi Public School Ghaziabad Vasundhara is a
candidate school for the IB PYP program which prepares students for
the intellectual challenges of further education and their future
careers, focusing on the development of the child as an inquirer, both
in the classroom and in the world outside.
The curriculum is transdisciplinary, meaning that it focuses on issues that
go across subject areas. The school will develop students’ academic, social
and emotional wellbeing, focusing on international-mindedness and strong
personal values.
The PYP nurtures independent learning skills, encouraging every student
to take responsibility for their learning. By learning through inquiry and
reflecting on their own learning, PYP students develop knowledge,
conceptual understandings, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner profile
to make a difference in their own lives, their communities, and beyond.
The IB Primary Years Program (PYP), is the first curriculum framework
designed for students aged three to ten (grades preschool to five). It aims
to develop the intellectual, emotional and physical potential of each child,
in a secure and stimulating environment.
International perspective: A driving force behind the PYP is the
philosophy of international mindedness. The IB’s mission statement strives
to nurture young people who recognize that they are global citizens and
who are motivated to make changes to and in the world.

23 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

SENIOR WING
In a major departure from the current conventional didactic pedagogy
where teacher transacts and transfers information and knowledge, the new
approach positions the students in central & lead role. They explore,
discover, analyze, synthesize & reconstruct knowledge and its application.
Teachers design, guide, provide, support and advise on learning resources,
benchmarking, assessments, reflections, assessment dialogues and
handhold to ensure that each one enjoys the journey as they move along.
This curriculum design, therefore, rests on a basic shift away from the
conventional academic processes. The Learning shall, henceforth, be
Student Led and Inquiry Based - Explore, Research and Discover.
While the proposed shift will stimulate, inspire and support students to
acquire, integrate and refine knowledge and develop subject mastery, they
also will develop and hone in skills & competencies to use and apply new
knowledge to real life situations. Acquiring, integrating, refining and
applying knowledge shall remain central and integral to all educational
transactions across all domains.
Skills & Competencies are now the key determinants of success;
howsoever, defined. Arts education, covering a whole range of
Performing, Visual and Vocational arts would be an integral part of the
school.
Wellness programs that include Health & Fitness and Socio, Emotional &
Ethical well-being, are a precondition for a rewarding and joyous life.
Hence, physical conditioning and sports would be an equally important part
of school
curriculum together with opportunities of fostering right kind of Attitudes,
Dispositions, Values & Beliefs [ADVB].
The curriculum has been broadly divided into two components:
I. SCHOLASTICS DOMAIN [SD]
Within Scholastics, there are core and electives subjects that can be offered
as per curriculum plan as applicable to a specific grade
CORE SUBJECTS
The CORE - I
a. English, Hindi, Sciences, Mathematics
b. Humanities & Social Sciences
c. Commerce & Business Studies
d. ICT – Information & Communications Technology

24 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

The CORE - II
a. This applies to classes 11 & 12 only.
b. As per the existing CBSE pattern, only four subjects form CORE – I.
Any subject opted as fifth or sixth subject shall be considered as
CORE – II.
c. For example, Physical Education & Sports is a part of foundational
domain, but if opted for in class 11 & 12 as subject stream, it shall be
treated as CORE – II and shall be transacted accordingly.
II. FOUNDATIONAL DOMAIN [FD]
1 ICT Education & Digital Literacy
2 Arts Education – Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Vocational Arts
3 Citizenship Studies
4 Clubs And Societies
5 School Health Program
6 Goal Setting
7 Value Added Programs

25 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

SCHOLASTIC AND FOUNDATIONAL DOMAIN

Education at all levels is also viewed today as acquisition of skills rather
than bookish knowledge. As such, the curriculum imposes the imperative
need of including in it, a variety of activities that impart skills that can form
the basis for a career later on. It is with this purpose in mind that activities
such as Visual Arts, Performing Arts, School Heath Program (SHP) which
includes Sports and Physical Education, Socio Emotional and Ethical
Learning (SEE), Citizenship and the knowledge of ICT etc. are included in
our curriculum. Children are encouraged to be original, creative, analytical
and expressive.

LABORATORIES AND LIBRARY

The school is equipped with modern science laboratories and a fully
working Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL), exclusive international language lab and
activity labs. DPSGV is the first school in the vicinity to have Technology
Enabled classrooms well equipped with LCDs and Smart Boards. The
school has technology networked library with a collection of usable
volumes of books and e-resources, for the students and teachers. The
school library also provides access points for maps, prints and other data
storage & e-documents for research purposes.

MORNING & EVENING SPORTS

The school lays a lot of emphasis on physical fitness, hence games and
sports are an integral part of the school curriculum.
Delhi Public School Ghaziabad Vasundhara has a program in the school
for all classes, in which students get an hour of sports every morning. There
are professional coaches who give specialised training on regular basis in
various games and sports. The school also provides evening sports
facilities.

SPORTS ACADEMY
We have a big sports ground which offers children facilities to play various
sports and games. The school runs a cricket and tennis academy under
the guidance and patronage of expert professionals. The bowling machine
prepares children to achieve excellence in cricket. The school has three
practice pitches and a turf cricket pitch of high standards and specifications.
The school also has lawn tennis court of standard size. Special coaches
train students for Basketball Team in District, State and National Level.

NATIONAL CADET CORPS (NCC)

DPSGV has introduced NCC – Army Senior Wing, for the students of class
XI and XII.
The training curriculum of the NCC is primarily focused on character
building, inculcating leadership qualities and skill enhancement through
structured academic syllabi, practical training and opportunity for

26 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

exposure/interaction beyond a cadets’ immediate environment, and

thereby enabling them for a brighter and progressive future.
The Aims of NCC:
(a) To develop character, comradeship, discipline, secular outlook, spirit
of adventure and the ideals of selfless service amongst the youth of the
country.
(b) To create a human resource of organized, trained and motivated youth
to provide leadership in all walks of life and always available for the
service of the nation.
(c) To provide a suitable environment to motivate the youth to take up a
career in the Armed Forces.

CLUB AND SOCIETIES

programs – Dhanak Pathshala, Robin Hood Academy, Bal Pathshala to
name a few.
Students are provided hands on experience in art & craft, sculpture,
photography, theatre, classical dance, western / fusion dance, vocal and
instrumental music by professionals. Over the years, these classes have
become extremely productive and popular.

TECHNOLOGY
To facilitate the teaching learning process, all class rooms are well
equipped with networked smart boards & projectors. They are further
connected to a knowledge centre for research purpose, which is a treasure
house of information in the field of education as far as subject content is
concerned. The school campus is wi-fi enabled with more than adequate
bandwidth which caters to blended teaching-learning experience. There
are three resource labs for computer aided learning.

HOUSE SYSTEM
The traditional system of grouping children into different 'Houses' has the
inherent advantage of fostering loyalty, team spirit and healthy competition.
The school has four Houses to which children are attached when they
reach class IV. These are named after the four rivers of India - the Ganga,
the Yamuna, the Satlej and the Cauvery. Inter house, Inter Class and Inter
Section competitions are organized in sports, cultural programs, literary
and creative activities. Emphasis is laid on the development of values
27 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

through these. Cultural activities are streamlined in order to nurture in

children a sense of pride for the motherland and its rich heritage and being
a part of the biggest democratic and secular nation in the world.

FLIPPED CLASSES
DPSGV is providing flipped classes for students on all working Saturdays.
These classes allow learners to explore content and continue learning.
Learning takes place through various tools and platforms like: videos,
quizzes, links, web based activities, MS Teams etc. The research work
gives an opportunity to the students to learn beyond books and without the
fear of being tested. It takes the child to a higher level of thinking and
develop their analytical skills.
DPSGV conducts these Flipped classes and provides worksheets, Case
studies, question banks and assignments through online interaction
between students and teachers.
In order to address classroom diversity based on the performance at the
end of UI Assessments and personal reviews and reflective and
assessment dialogues, a facility of feedforward is provided to the learners
through Personalized Learning Pathways (PLP).

ASSESSMENT RULES & PROMOTION POLICY

ASSESSMENT PHILOSOPHY
Assessment is an integral part of the teaching learning process- or perhaps
its flipside. In fact assessment drives student learning. They are a medium
to ensure that everyone arrives at the destination called learning.
Assessment provides information about the child’s level of understanding
and internalizing concepts.
Assessment at DPSGV is an ongoing process which provides all the
stakeholders information about student performance- both the strengths
and challenges of a child. The aim of assessment being to maximize the
potential of each student. Assessment should be constructive, build
positive attitudes and self- confidence in children by assisting them to see
what they have achieved and the progress they are making. It should
provide further learning and development when combined with constructive
feedback and opportunities for reflection. It should enable learners to see
and appreciate the progress that they have made and recognise that they
are being successful in learning. It should be constructive, non-judgmental,
stress free and have a holistic approach for the all-round development of
the learner. As each learning style is different, a range of assessment
strategies are to be adopted. Evaluation should be varied (self, peer,
facilitator). The assessment process should be transparent to allow
students to build confidence in their abilities and take ownership of their
learning achievements. Finally, our assessments provide opportunities that
create out-of-the-box thinkers, risk takers and problem solvers.

28 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

Why do we Assess?
 To ensure student learning
 To see the level of prior knowledge and build on it.
 To celebrate student learning
 To demonstrate voice, choice and ownership
What do we assess?
 Knowledge
The prior knowledge of the learner
The new knowledge gained and it’s application in real world situations.
 Skills
Skills which will develop a learner for life
Skills to perform, function and think at various levels
 Concepts
The key concepts of an inquiry
Attitudes and behaviors
The development of the IB learner profile
Student response and action to stimuli
 Actions
Student action within and at the end of an inquiry.
Student action towards being a global citizen
How do we assess?
Pre knowledge Assessment
 A short quick activity to understand the prior knowledge of the students
so that the teacher can build on her pervious knowledge
Formative
 These are activities used to measure student learning on a daily,
ongoing basis. These assessments reveal how and what students are
learning during the course and often inform next steps in teaching and
learning. They need to be linked to the lines of Inquiry.
Summative Assessments
 Tests, quizzes, and other graded course activities that are used to
measure student performance. They are cumulative and often reveal
what students have learned by the end of a unit.
Process based
 These assessments are an on-going process focused on the learning
process rather than as a single episode that occurs at the end of a
teaching unit.

29 DPSG VASUNDHARA
 ALMANAC 2022-23

Performance Based
 A performance-based assessment is a type of assessment that
requires students to perform a task using skills learned in class.
Open ended Tasks
 This is a form of authentic assessment that allows students to use
higher-order thinking skills through a variety of content areas. It
requires students to construct their own responses rather than select
them from a set of given possibilities.
Selected Responses
 These assessments help children to choose from a variety of
responses.
Observational Assessments
 Observational assessments involve obtaining evaluative information
through direct observation.
Assessment Tools
 Rubrics
 Checklists
 Anecdotal Records
 Reflections ( Both student and teacher)
 Portfolio
 Pen and Paper Tasks
Reporting Assessments
 Performance Achievements Cards ( Report Cards- twice a year)
 Student Led Conferences (once- At the end of a term)
 Portfolio Presentation (Once- At the end of the year)
 Parent Teacher Conferences (Once in two months in online or offline
mode)
Different perspectives on Assessments
Student Perspective
Assessment provides the learner information about the current state of
learning and helps set learning goals.
Parent Perspective
Assessment gives the parents insights into the learning levels of their ward
with complete information about skill development , areas of concerns and
areas wherein parent support is required.
Teacher Perspective
Learning styles, designing learning engagements and assignments. All 4
stakeholders – student, teacher, parent and leadership perspective on

SENIOR WING
OUR APPROACH TO ASSESSMENTS
We, at DPSGV, believe assessment needs to be an ongoing activity that
leads to improvement in learning process by providing necessary inputs to
take informed decisions for organizing learning experiences in classroom
and school spaces.
The broad approach involves identifying WHAT and HOW of testing,
measurement & assessment and how will that be interpreted as a positive
feedback to the assessor and assessee; all of that in the backdrop of
designed learner profile and the intended learning outcomes.
In the backdrop of the guiding principles, our assessment approach
comprises:
A. Learner Engaged Assessment Practices [LEAP]- Mid UI and End
UI Assessments
The entire curriculum will be transacted through Units of Inquiry [UIs].
LEAP are integral to the UIs' learning journey and hence essentially is
formative type of assessment and plots the developmental continuum
of the learner through that academic year
B. Standardized Assessment Practices [SAP] – Midterm and End
Term Assessments
SAP are both criterion-based and norm-referenced assessments and
form the basis of decisions on certifying learner achievement levels,
grading and promotion to next grade.
The DPSGV Learner Profile articulates the attributes that are critical for
our students to be ready for life. The curricular areas- both scholastic
and foundational domains intricately map the knowledge, skills,
competencies and ADVB [attitudes, dispositions, values, beliefs] to be
developed through meaningfully designed learning experiences.
Assessment of Scholastic Domains
The focus in the Middle School is towards developing skills and
competencies with a robust knowledge base and evaluated through variety
of assessment tools, whereas the focus in Secondary and Senior
Secondary Wings is more aligned towards developing subject mastery
evaluated through performance.
The respective weightages of LEAP and SAP are shown in the table below:

 ALMANAC 2022-23

Assessment of Foundational Domains

Assessment in Foundational Domain is considered as a part of an
integrated, collaborative learning experience. The Grades are assigned on
the basis of Rubrics and the grading is done on a developmental Continuum

of the Forum constitutes of all the parents whose children are studying in
the school. The Executive Committee of the Forum is a nominated body
represented by parents and teachers of the school. The Principal of the
school is the ex-officio President of the Forum. The PTF plays a pivotal role
in making decisions from time to time regarding the welfare of the school.
It facilitates closer association between parents and teachers in their effort
to make the school an ideal place for the all-round education of children. It
also offers parents a platform to express their views freely and frankly,
thereby involving them in a process of mutual participation aimed at the
welfare of the children studying in the school.

OUR EXPECTATIONS FROM

PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
Parents must realize that school is the second home for children. They
need all the considerations in their favour by way of safety and security,
love and co-curricular work. It is from this point of view that we expect
parents and guardians to follow the norms, given below, extremely
meticulously.
1. Parents are expected to go through the school calendar carefully and make
a note of important dates and events, especially parent-teacher meetings,
tests and examinations. We expect the parents to come in large numbers
and meet the concerned teachers to discuss not only the academic
progress but also other areas of personality development like attitude,
aptitude, confidence building etc.
2. Parents must register a permanent mobile phone number with the
school on which SMS and other alerts may be sent. In case of change,
the parents MUST notify the changed number in writing within 3 days.
3. No student of classes XI or XII will be allowed to leave the school early
on the plea of attending private coaching classes.
4. Parents may please see that their child adheres to the school uniform
strictly. Children accompanying their parents during PTM days must
also come in school uniform.
5. Wearing of fancy shoes, jewellery, unruly hair and fancy haircuts like
mushroom cut etc., streaking/highlighting of hair by fashion hair
colours is not permitted. Skirt hemlines are to be knee-length.
6. Parents/Guardians are not permitted to enter class rooms to meet their
children or to seek unscheduled interviews with teachers during school
hours. Prior appointment for meeting the staff must necessarily be
taken through appointment cards given at the back of the almanac.
7. In case of emergency, parents/guardians must meet the Principal/
Headmistress and adopt a course of action in consultation with them.
8. No strangers are allowed to meet children.
53 DPSG VASUNDHARA

9. Usage of school bus is compulsory for all students unless parents take
on the responsibility of a drop & pick of their ward.

are an illegal and dangerous mode of transportation and are totally
banned by the school under instructions from the District
Administration.
11. Pick up point for a private commuter is gate number 1. No stranger,
driver or family friend is allowed to pick the children up.
12. Once the child has come to school, parents and guardians are not
permitted to take him/her back home during the school hours unless
there is a major emergency. In such cases, the permission of the
Principal/Headmistress is mandatory. Lunch boxes and water bottles
are not allowed to be sent for students once they have entered the
school premises.
13. Parents and guardians must know that no school teacher is allowed to
take private tuitions. As such, they should not press the teachers of
this school to accept private tuition work for their wards. The Principal's
helpline may be used to inform any irregularity in this regard.

there is a change in their address.
15. Any communication that parents wish to make with the school must be
addressed to the Principal/Headmistress of the respective wing only

while entering the school premises.

Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat and Maratha
of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and the Ganga
and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea;
They pray for thy auspicious blessings and sing thy praise.
The salvation of all people in thy hands,
