PRESENT TRAINING
Preset training within the Direction Group of Schools pertains to the pre-service education and training provided to teachers prior to their commencement of teaching. The primary aim of preset training is to equip teachers with the essential knowledge and skills required for effective classroom instruction.
ASSESSMENTS
Assessment forms the cornerstone of education at Direction School. These assessments are substantiated by the following evidence:
Early Years Monthly & Terminal Formative Assessments
In the Early Years, our assessment process focuses on evaluating students' abilities, compatibility, academic proficiency, and understanding levels. We meticulously organize and execute authentic formative and summative assessments that enable us to identify learning abilities and potential disabilities.
In the early years, students undergo formative assessment consistently throughout the week, month, and term. This is facilitated through Monthly Formative Assessment Sheets, which are tailored to the syllabus for each specific month and gauge the attainment of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).
Primary and Lower Secondary Assessment
Our approach to assessments in Primary and Lower Secondary levels is well-structured, aligning with the students' learning capacity.
Terminal assessments are conducted twice during the academic year, evaluating core subjects comprehensively. Meanwhile, non-core subjects are evaluated through formative assessments. This balanced approach ensures a thorough evaluation of students' understanding and progress across both essential and supplementary subjects.
CURRICULUM & INFRASTRUCTURE
Our comprehensive approach to curriculum development incorporates essential elements such as assessment and evaluation, human resources, educational technology, and strong school culture and values.
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT
Effective school management encompasses student enrollment and admission processes, administration, finance and budgeting, safety and security protocols, and strong parent and community engagement.
INSET TRAINING
Inset training, also referred to as in-service education and training (INSET), involves ongoing professional development for teachers conducted throughout the school year. Direction Group of Schools' Training Department usually organizes INSET sessions for its campuses, focusing on various topics that are pertinent to enhancing teaching skills and classroom practices.
NEED BASE TRAINING
The Training Department provides tailored training sessions based on identified improvement areas as recommended by the School Review and Monitoring (SRM) department. The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) department consistently emphasizes new teaching strategies, subject-specific pedagogy, and operational enhancements during their training programs.
This approach ensures that teachers receive targeted training to address specific improvement needs while also staying updated on innovative teaching methods and effective operational practices.
