It is based on the children’s interest and allows each and every child to learn at their own pace. To achieve this, teachers undergo constant training sessions to learn about alternative approaches. They are also encouraged to use new technologies in the classroom such as computers, tablets and projectors. Various teaching methods are employed in the classroom such as Reciprocal Method, Group Work and Peer-to-Peer teaching. Teachers also have access to various teaching aids such as flash cards, charts, counting-beads, number cards, cards of different shapes, currency, blocks, puzzle games and activity books. 2016-2017 Students Standard Age Range (yrs) Boys Girls Total 1st 6 - 7 7 11 18 2nd 7 - 8 9 13 22 3rd 8 - 9 15 15 30 4th 9 - 10 12 12 24 5th 10 - 11 15 10 25 6th 11 - 12 7 13 20 7th 12 - 13 5 10 15 8th 13 - 14 10 9 19 9th 14 - 15 6 8 14 10th 15 - 16 10 9 19 Higher Education 16 - 25 30 21 51 Total 126 131 257 8 9 Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya annual report 2016-2017 Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya annual report 2016-2017 The subjects taught in Lower Primary (1st to 4th Standard) are Kannada, English, Mathematics, Environmental Science, Art, Storytelling and Games.
