Online Digital Teaching and Learning Academic Action Plan
Dear Learner/Parent/Guardian,
THE BUILDING IS CLOSED; THE SCHOOL IS OPEN. We would like to express gratitude to our learners and the parental community for their extended cooperation with the school and teachers during the difficult times of the first wave of pandemic, thus strengthening the home school agreement and the social contract. As per the recent government and NCOC directives for school closures, educational institutions are once again shifting to the Online Digital Teaching and Learning mode which has been a rewarding experience in terms of digital continuity of academic timelines, course works, and curriculum along with the online assignments, assessments, and examination conducted to ensure progression and attainment.
Online Digital Academic Action Plan
The Online Academic Action plan shall continue during the closures and we shall proceed with syllabus completion, reinforcement of the taught concepts, assessments, assignments, project submission, and academic term progression as per our regular academic routine and timetables. TME Learning Management System (MATRIX) is a cloud hosted, integrated, flexible and secure dynamic platform that allows Millennium Education to manage the organization through the web, any time and any where in the world. It establishes connectivity between campuses, teachers, Millennials and parents in a most effective manner. To assess learning for the first academic term consolidated E-Progress / Result Cards shall be shared with the parental community through the Learning Management System (MATRIX) and Parent-Teacher Meetings would be organized either online or face-to-face, as per the academic calendar and COVID situation. This online academic action plan offers more flexibility and real-time engagement for our learners in terms of online mode of teaching and learning, assessments, online exams, quizzes, assignments, and projects for evidence-based grading and progression. The schedule and timelines shall be shared by school and college leadership as and when required. We expect a strong digital attendance and online punctuality from our learners on Microsoft Teams in our quest for an effective online teaching and learning ecosystem. From our recent experience of COVID closures and online education, we have learnt that through digital inclusion, there is more trust between the teacher and the learner, enhancement of digital literacy skills, and Information Communication Technology integration.
Parental Facilitation and Responsibility in Support of Online Teaching and Learning
For an effective collaboration in support of academic rigour, we shall continue the student-work on notebooks / copies, and worksheets, thus we need your facilitation, involvement, and engagement as the school administration office shall remain open throughout the pandemic. You may coordinate with the campus administration and submit notebooks and other resources for regular checking and feedback from the subject, class, and homeroom teachers. This shall help our learners stay in connection through the online classes and receive reflective feedback on their performances on weekly basis as assigned by the teacher. Your cooperation in this regard is highly anticipated.
