Foreword

The State of Meghalaya has been facing tremendous challenges due to the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in the closure of all educational institutions. This has led to learning losses among learners especially in the rural pockets of the State. As a result, the Education Department has given utmost priority to the two most vulnerable age groups namely, children at elementary level, where learning loss can limit educational progress most and learners transitioning from upper primary to secondary education. To ensure continuous and minimum levels learning, the Directorate of Educational research & Training (DERT) developed the Adjusted Academic Calendar (AAC) for Classes VI – VIII in close consultation with schoolteachers. The rationalised Academic Calendar is to be implemented in all MBOSE affiliated schools of Meghalaya for the session 2020-21. The AAC has been worked out around the Learning Outcomes (LOs) developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi in 2017 and coded by the DERT in 2020. It is to be noted that the Learning Outcomes are now mandatory in the teaching- learning process in all schools with the amendment of the Meghalaya RTE Act 2009 State Rules of the State and notification No.EDN/RTE- 196/2012/182 dt. August 3, 2020. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) comprising of schoolteachers from 20 schools drawn from different districts of the state were involved in the mapping of the Learning Outcomes in different subjects areas for classes 1 to 8 with a focus on foundational literacy and numeracy. The LO based Elementary Stage Academic Calendar for schools in Meghalaya focuses distinctly on core competencies in English, Mathematics, Environmental Studies (EVS), Science and Social Science. Strategies for teaching have not been incorporated in the document. It is recommended that the Alternative Academic Calendars brought out by NCERT may be referred to for model instructional activities. Schools and teachers are to use this document to prepare for students’ continuous learning through unit and lesson planning, communicating with parents lesson targets, planning activities for home learning (parent, sibling, volunteer, peer-to-peer), online lessons, offline learning, notes and other learning resources. This document is an outcome of the collaborative efforts of the DERT Task Team and teachers from urban as well as rural schools. In view of this, I am hopeful that schools will be able roll out learning activities with a view to mitigate learning losses and ensure minimum levels of learning during these challenging times.

Acknowledgement

I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to all the individuals who contributed towards the development and finalization of the Academic Calendar (AC) for Classes I - VIII. Their contributions were noteworthy as the task of drafting the Academic Calendar could not be done through workshops and face to face consultations with subject experts and teachers due to COVID-19 health advisories and protocols.

It may be mentioned that the Academic Calendar is the result of the collaborative online academic exercises undertaken between the DERT Task Team and the Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) from 20 schools from West Garo Hills, West Khasi Hills, East Khasi Hills and West Jaintia Hills Districts of Meghalaya.

In this regard, special mention must be made of the support provided by the Meghalaya School Improvement Program (MSIP) Team of Dr. Lavinia M Dkhar, Monitoring & Research Associate, MSIP; Dr. Mark K. Lyngdoh, Research Associate, MSIP; the District Managers (DM) comprising of Ms. Doreen Shylla, DM East Khasi Hills; Ms. Jessica Elwyn, DM West Garo Hills; Ms. Onika Dhar, DM East Jaintia Hills; Mr. Ahiezer P. Suchiang, DM West Jaintia Hills and Mr. Iaidonryngkat Thangkhiew, DM West Khasi Hills who helped coordinate all academic activities with the schools as district level point persons. I also thank Mr. Nathan J. Nengnong, Executive Assistant, MSIP and Adriel A.L. Nongpyiur, Office Assistant, MSIP for the secretarial support and design of the layout of the Academic Calendar. I am also grateful to Ms. Iadarity Pyngrope, DEO, East Khasi Hills and Ms. Ibashisha Mukhim, DEO, West Jaintia Hills for compiling and collating all Learning Outcomes maps received from schools.

And finally, none of this would have been accomplished without the effort and endurance of the DERT Task Team comprising of Dr. David M. Nongrum, Selection Grade Lecturer and Team Leader, Mrs. Libera Lyngdoh, Sr. Grade Lecturer, Dr. Careleen Y. Kharmalki, Lecturer, and Dr. Baladiangti Nongbri, Sr. Grade Lecturer, DERT.

I also extend my thanks to the DERT reviewing team consisting of Dr. Danibha Pyrbot, Selection Grade Lecturer; Dr. Della G. Soanes, Selection Grade Lecturer; Ms. Arreelin Gathphoh, Sr. Grade Lecturer; Mrs. S. Hynniewta, Senior Grade Lecturer; Mrs. E, Rynjah, Lecturer; Mrs. Wilda Kharbani, Lecturer; Mrs. Beautiful Mylliem, Lecturer and Mrs. Hameki Nonghuloo, Lecturer.

Guidance Note for Teachers on how to use the Academic Calendar for 2020-21

1. Learning Outcomes are today mandatory in the teaching learning process with the amendment of Section 22 (2) Meghalaya RTE Act 2009, State Rules. They are learner-centric and important as they help ensure minimum learning standards for students of all grades (1- 10) in key subject areas and are focused on core competencies; in other words, they help ensure a strong foundation for learners to build on. 2. The number of lessons for each Learning Outcome (LO) is indicative. Teachers are to plan their units/lessons taking into consideration the skills and only key concept/knowledge areas identified. Emphasis should be placed on mastery of skills and ensuring deep understanding of only essential knowledge areas. 3. Other than the prescribed textbooks, it is recommended that teachers explore various sources of information, including textbooks available, as long as they are reliable and address (a) the identified Learning Outcomes, (b) what learners should able to do (reflected in the action verbs), and (c) what learners need to know/understand (reflected in the knowledge/concept areas). 4. Topics and sub-topics too are indicative and not exhaustive. Teachers may decide on the content areas to cover through Direct Instruction/ Teacher Driven Instruction (DI) and/ or Assignments through Project/ Inquiry Based Learning (PBL) after undertaking content analysis exercises based on the identified LOs for each Subject and Class for which students need to be assessed. Lessons can then be planned for home learning, online classrooms, remote learning, etc. depending on the situation. 5. All links included in this document are only available as long as the original content owners allow them to be accessible for public viewing in the concerned web portals. 6. All teachers are to identify their own links for the different LOs for sharing with parents and students. Please verify that all links work before sharing. Resources created like videos and audio files may also be shared with us at the email ID given at the Sl. No. 14. 7. Informal Assessments must be embedded in every lesson. Evidence of student mastery (how will we know when learners know it?) must be thought out during unit and lesson planning stage for every Learning Outcome and Learning Objectives identified in every lesson. 8. Informal methods of checking student understanding must be employed, and it is important to collect evidence of learning over time. Teachers are advised to work with students and document their learning continuously. Regular feedback and guidance to learners must be given priority. It is also important to let them know what they need to submit and when they need to do so. 9. Teachers should also use the Academic Calendar to plan out home learning activities where parents/siblings/volunteers can provide support through various activities at home. iv

10. Wherever possible, teachers can ask students to submit short reflection videos on WhatsApp or send photos of their progress. Screenshots also work well. 11. It is highly recommended that all teachers explore NCERT’s Alternative Academic Calendar and the LO based various teaching - learning strategies/ activities and come up with their own teaching learning activities for Meghalaya’s Academic Calendar. 12. Teachers must communicate with parents wherever teachers and students do not have virtual classroom facilities or access to internet services by using SMS messages as mobile phones are available in most homes. 13. Teachers may also contact parents and students using internet based technological tools for giving them appropriate guidelines for conducting activities designed by them in alignment with the Academic Calendar wherever internet services are available. 14. In case of further clarifications on the different aspects of the Meghalaya’s Adjusted Academic Calendar for 2020-21 or recommendations/suggestions for improvement, you may write to us at [email protected].
