A child typically spends six hours a day in a classroom. To transcend the boundaries of mere academic excellence and truly unlock the human potential in each child, we have transformed these classrooms into ThinkRooms. This awakening enables a child to listen, think, and create in their own unique way.
The ThinkRoomredefines the role of the six classroom elements in a child's education, shifting their focus fromachieving mere academic excellence to awakening Human Potential.
Each child possesses a unique Studio within the ThinkRoom. Studios are question-based learning materials that help children practice thinking in the cognitive, emotional, social, and metacognitive domains. With Studio, we transition from promoting better learning to bringing out excellence in every child.
Every child can express themselves in their own way, and yet, a teacher can objectively assess their true learning. The assessment indicators, success criteria, and judgment statements aid the teacher in conducting an Authentic Assessment of the child. With Authentic Assessment, we shift from making every child 'the best' to finding the best in every child.
The walls of a ThinkRoom do not separate the child from the world. The ThinkRoom Kit contains powerful tools that enhance learning and help the teacher make lessons engaging. With the ThinkRoom Kit, we transform the child's learning environment from a meaningless wall that separates to a meaningful wall that unites children through learning.
Parents of a child in the ThinkRoom create an emotionally safe and enjoyable environment at home. They delight in observing their child's unique qualities every day. By continuously involving them in aspects like HomeFun (instead of Homework), ThinkRoom day (instead of Projects day), and meaningful learning outcomes (instead of just marks), we educate them on the real goals of education.
A teacher's strongest belief is not in the blackboard, subject books, or examinations but in the human potential of every child. A teacher in a ThinkRoom asks questions, lets every student express themselves in their own way, assesses learning objectively, equips themselves with the latest pedagogies and teaching practices, and collaborates with other teachers because they believe in awakening the minds of every child. We restore the pride that the role of 'teacher' deserves.
When you walk into our school, you won't encounter fear in anyone; instead, you'll witness faith in everyone. As the school leader and Chairman of Pavithra International School, Mr. Y. Venkatesh wholeheartedly owns the vision of education for human potential for every child. He serves as an inspiration wherever he goes and to whomever he speaks. He empowers his teachers and ensures that children are awakened in his school and extends his influence beyond the school to transform the education system.
