Work Habits Cont.
d) Effort: Effort is the most important indicator of your child’s assessment as
it shows that your child is working up to his/her potential. We want every child
to give their best effort in all subject areas. Each child is an individual with
different strengths, talents and abilities. Not all students can achieve a top
grade in all subjects but all can give their best effort. It is of utmost
importance that we celebrate our children for their effort and not for the
overall grade; for their areas of strength, their talents and their achievements.
e) Homework: At RCIS we believe the teacher should be the first academic
instructor and educator. Therefore homework is given only to reinforce and
supplement the knowledge imparted in the class. Homework is an indicator of
the student’s level of understanding. For concepts still unclear, the student can
refer back to the teacher. The homework should be beneficial to students
‘educational development, it should be of reasonable length and expectations
so that the student has time to pursue other interests and activities at home.
Tasks are set within the student’s ability to enable them to work independently
at home. That is why for the lower grades (Pre-K to grade 5), there is a
timetable given to the teachers so that the homework allocated to the students
is not excessive and is equally distributed over the course of the week. Our
expectation from our student is that the assignments should be neat; they
should be his/her own effort and must be punctually submitted. It is important
that they put in their best effort. Home Work is part of our continuous
assessment and is assessed not just on accuracy but a student’s work habit
also.
