At Nisarga, learners are motivated to learn when they are challenged to solve real problems. When students pursue answers to questions of interest to them and apply their learning to something they care about, they are more likely to remember what they have learned than if they are taught skills out of context. No matter what we teach, we look for ways to build on students’ interests and help them see the relevance of their learning to everyday life. While offering an environment for students to acquire knowledge, importance will be given to: • Setting clear and precise goals for the knowledge and skills that the students are expected to acquire • Communicating these goals to the students and ensuring that they are understood • Organising assignments in a clearly planned sequence • Providing guidance for the students
