Do You Ask Yourself These Questions?
How
can we ensure a holistic approach to the overall personality
development of students?
How
can we offer a course/syllabus where students learn about life’s
important skills like communication, leadership, self regard,
teamwork ?
How

career choices?
Do you hear your students asking you ?

extra-ordinary?
How
do I get to know that there is more in me than I already know?
The
theoretical part of the course is fantastic. How can I be sure that

Why Life Skills?
Life
Skills is a combination of knowledge and abilities to perform to the
best of ones potential, personality and strengths in favourable or
adverse situations now or later in life.
Life
Skills also known as psycho-social skills –cannot be taught as
subjects. They are not the same as academic or technical learning
and require a hands on or experiential methodology of instruction
When
modelled and promoted as part of learning they bring value to the
individual and the institute.
These
skills have to do with the way we behave –towards other people,
towards ourselves, towards the challenges and problems of life.
They
include skills in communicating, in making decisions and solving
problems, in negotiating and asserting ourselves, positive attitude,
in thinking critically and creatively and understanding our
feelings.
These
gear the learner, by simulating and helping experience reality in
many situations, toward making real-life applications of knowledge,
skills and attitudes.
