Not Just CLASSROOMS but... Workshops for LEARNING

These are 21st Century classrooms! Here teachers are the facilitators of students learning and creators of productive classroom environment which nurture development of multiple skills and competencies. The teachers create a learning ambience that allows each child to grow intellectually with conceptual understanding and higher order thinking skills.

Interactive Smart Boards in Classes

The presiding members in the Goenkan Classroom are the Interactive white boards used in GDGPS as a replacement for traditional white boards or flip charts. They provide ways to show students everything which can be presented on a computer’s desktop (education software, web sites and others) in an actual working setting. In addition interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instructions and post the material for review by students at a later time. This is a very effective instructional strategy for students who are absent from school, for students struggling while learning, and for review work during examinations.
