 Multiple intelligence (multiple approach teaching,)  project based learning( teachers rarely use although they know)  big idea and KUD planning )  performing theatre classes ( in co curricular activities to build confidence and skills)  Listening skills (four levels of listening)  subject Integration(acquiring different subjects knowledge based on one subject)  Four noble truths(use while planning and use as a teaching method)

What are we aspiring to implement?  Big idea and KUD ( block & lesson planning, share with colleagues )  Project based learning( lesson planning, unit planning, project work during vacations while making them to use the resources available )  Four Noble truths( teaching strategy, solve various youth problems, family, our own problems )  MI in the classroom( teachers work together once in a month)  Subject Integration( in practice but hesitantly, need to do more meaningfully throughout the lessons )
