  • There is no ambiguity in expected outcomes from the student and students are given an opportunity to revise their attempts in academics.
  • Discussions and debates and inward thinking is encouraged.

2. Institute supports rigor in achievement:
  • It is imperative that high standards are set for student learning and this is supported by teacher excellence too. The support extended enables students to progressively move towards the desired outcomes.
  • Scaffolding of lessons, learning tools, reinforced learning, organization of content are chief indicators of rigor in academics.

3.Validation of Achievement:
  • Students are provided feedback of their achievement through formative and summative assessments.
  • Systems of checks and balances put in place for collaboration in learning and taken up challenging tasks.
