The fact that knowledge is constructed by the child implies that curriculum, syllabus and textbooks should enable the teacher in organizing classroom experiences in consonance with the child's nature and environment, and thus providing opportunities for all children, Teaching at Educon International School is aimed at enhancing children's natural desire and strategies to learn. Knowledge is distinguished from information, and teaching is seen as a professional activity, not as coaching for memorization or as transmission of facts. Activity is the heart of the child's attempt to make sense of the world around him/her. Therefore, every resource is deployed to enable children to express themselves, handle objects, explore their natural and social milieu, and to grow up healthy.
Children master the basic structure related to listening and speaking and use the language orally for daily communication needs. The multilingual character of Indian society is as a resource to promote multilingual proficiency in every child, which includes proficiency in English. Reading and writing, listening and speech, contribute to the child's progress in all curricular areas and is the basis for curriculum planning. Emphasis on reading throughout the primary classes is necessary to give every child a solid foundation for school learning. Special attention is paid to the improvement of pronunciation with correct modulation of voice along with good handwriting and correct spelling.
Learning of mathematics lays foundation about numerical and spatial aspects of the objects and activities. The child masters basic vocabulary, symbolism and computational skills related numbers, geometrical figures, money, time, measurement of length, mass, volume etc. And be able to apply them to day to day problems in his/her immediate environment. They also develop simple drawing skills and measuring skills. The teaching of mathematics should enhance the child's resources to think and reason, to visualize and handle abstractions, to formulate and solve problems. This broad spectrum of aims is covered by teaching relevant and important mathematics embedded in the child's experience. Succeeding in mathematics is seen as the right of every child. For this, widening its scope and relating it to other subjects is essential.
The major trust in Class I and II is to encourage children to observe and explore their immediate environment. In the later years the child is helped to discover and understand the scientific facts, concepts, principles and processes underlying various phenomena. The child is encouraged to systematically observe and explore things, formulate precise questions, record and classify observations, collect information and analyse it and draw conclusion. To make his / her observation precise, skill of measuring length, area, volume, time, temperature, etc are taught and developed.
Art as a subject covers all four major spheres, i.e. Music, Dance, Visual/Performing arts. The emphasis is on interactive approaches, not instruction, because the goal of art education is to promote aesthetic and personal awareness and the ability to express oneself in different forms.
