Note: This project is in the early stage.
In Jan 2018, we started PSchool App as a simple web app where the students can practice what they learn in the classroom. As teachers, we observed students forget what they learn in the classroom after a week or a month. So we build an App that students can practice the concepts and retain their learning. PSchool means Practice School.
No Student Left Behind.
Every thing is Teachable. Everyone is Teachable.
Practice make the learning Permanent.
Just like generic medicine, we need generic curriculum for teaching subjects like maths, english & science.
This allows teachers and parents to get assess to quality curriculum and content.
We define the content in layman's term so that it is easy to follow for everyone.
This curriculum is not rigid and we encourage experts to have discussion around the various points, so that it evolves over a period of time.
Diversity in the approach is encouraged. There are multiple ways to approach a problem.
Some students are not able to do well because pre-requisites are not met. For example, if the students are not comfortable with tables, they cannot do multiplications. To address this, each learning unit should be mapped with a list of pre-requisites.
We need to scientifically order the content so that we can take students from level zero to level 100, one step at a time.
We want to define the curriculum and content in a simple way so that parents, senior students should be able to follow it.
We don't prescribe or discuss teaching methodologies. Instead we focus on what the student should learn. How the student is taught is upto the teacher.
Eg:
- What are the 3-letter words that a 5-year-old should be familiar with?
- List of 100 simple antonyms for class-2
- Simple addition problems for class-3
- Short paragraphs on 10 leaders for class-4
