Our Teaching Methodology is based on ‘dynamic feedback’ approach. The teaching plan of a lesson is divided into many checkpoints. An average session (or lesson which lasts for around (60 minutes) has around 5 to 6 checkpoints.

At Mindsplash Academy, we strongly believe that our teachers are like gardeners. Every plant is unique with respect to its needs and growth rate - so is every child! We cannot have rigid templates. Our job is to consistently nurture and After every checkpoint, the teacher asks questions (to take feedback) to see how many students understood it the right way.

If there are students who did not understand or misunderstood, the concept is cleared to all the students. Only then, the teacher proceeds further to the next checkpoint. This regular and dynamic feedback approach lays.

Highlights

3 One level up: At Mindsplash Academy, we strongly believe that students shall practice questions of one level up! Over years, we have seen that this approach has helped our students to be ready for any surprises during their exams! Given that the syllabus of many international curricula and their examination trends are changing frequently, it is important that our students leave no stone unturned with respect to the content they get to work on. They shall be ready for any format!

4 Content Consistency: No ‘content gap’ between board and boards!Many a times we see students complaining “nothing that was taught in class came in exams!” OR “nothing that I practiced from worksheets came in exams!” - We are sure this problem is more prevalent with respect to international curricula like IB/GCSE. This is due to ‘content gap’ between class board to boards (board examinations; To eliminate this gap, we have worked on our lesson content, worksheet content and examination content and made sure that they are of same level.

5 Mindmaps: Our Curriculum has been one of our strong pillars of success. Having a rich experience of developing content for many corporates across the globe, we at Mindsplash academy design new lesson materials which are very closer to exam-style questions.

1 Mock Examinations: Almost all the students preparing for IB/GCSE exams take previous year questions during their mock examinations at schools! These will not add any freshness or surprise or anxiety element to the students as they might have already answered these during their preparation. The actual examination questions are not repeated. In order to plug in these factors, we prepare our own questions which are one level up so that students are habituated to handling timeand emotions, both at ease! For IB MYP, we conduct examinations on digital platform similar to eAssessment platform.

2 In Sync with School: Our Curriculum has been one of our strong pillars of success. Having a rich experience of developing content for many corporates across the globe, we at Mindsplash academy design new lesson materials which are very closer to exam-style questions.

Our Teachers: Our teachers are not just learning facilitators! They are here to understand their emotions and limitations. They plug these factors during their lessons! At Mindsplash Academy, our teachers consistently strive to make the class room a fun-filled learning space. More than academic results, our achievements are measured in smiles we bring on their faces!; Our teachers are hired from premier institutes of India. The hiring process is very rigid which evaluates their knowledge, passion, communication, emotions, sense of humor, lesson planning abilities etc., Almost all our teachers are postgraduates or doctorates. For our teachers, their professions is their identity, not a mere job!
