| RDF students engaged in Bala Mela activities |
RDF believes that true learning goes beyond memorizing facts and statistics, but teaching students how to think creatively and analytically so they can be future leaders. Starting from nursery level, teachers use role-playing, debates, cultural events and creative games to encourage students to think beyond the textbooks.
In the upper classes, Bloom’s Taxonomy guides the lessons. This methodology moves away from rote memorization and emphasizes critical and analytical thinking. RDFs schools are grooming students for leadership roles: those who master the concepts quickly are given opportunities such as student teaching and extra assignments. Students move up the triangle of ‘basic knowledge and understanding’ to apply, analyze, evaluate and create. Examples of this include science experiments, , creative arts projects, and peer and teacher evaluations . And RDF’s small classes allow teachers to offer extra help to students who need more time understanding their lessons.
In its pursuit of offering a holistic education, RDF weans away from focusing upon students’ marks only and encourages students to reach their maximum potential and follow their passions.
