Soft Skills Guidance Centre & Library

Daily Conversation Session (DCS) : At School, being an educator is all about being able to make connections with Students in the classroom . Connectivity with students sets the tone & foundation for an interesting learning environment and experience. A Teacher could be most knowledgeable when it comes to the curriculum, but if we aren’t able to deliver in a way that is meaningful to students and meets them where they are as individuals, they are going to have a very difficult time learning during and retaining the information. Making connections with students makes it evident that Teachers are passionate about teaching. The Daily Intellectual Conversation Session Period (DCS) is a learning strategy applied by Teachers. The DCS is available for students studying in Std 8 up to Std 12 The DCS assists teachers in making better connections with Students than while teaching the prescribed Academic curriculum. As the year progresses, DCS routine aids Teachers to know about their student’s strengths, their mindset, aptitude & enjoy learning about them as individuals.
