QCT Practice

November 24, 2010

Dear Parent,

Greetings!

School is back into action after Diwali break with lots of cheer and gusto!

I am happy to share with you that we have started a practice in school which will help our children to become emotionally stronger and more self disciplined.

This practice is called quality circle time- QCT. Although we have been practicing QCT from the beginning with our children but now we have made it more formal and included in the class time table of each class.

Every Thursday will be QCT time for Nursery to Class V. Classes VI to IX will have QCT on every Monday and Tuesdy..

The purpose and the outcome of this practice…

Purpose of QCT –

• To create a culture where all adults and children relate to each other in honest and enjoyable ways and learn to listen to each other and build a sense of ownership in the entire school community.

• To help everyone to ‘know thyself’ and understand ones own strengths and weaknesses.
• To develop the skills of Thinking, seeing/observing, concentrating, listening and speaking

Outcomes of QCT –

• Practicing democratic processes to celebrate success and solve issues of concern.
• Developing ability to respect differences
• Motivation and willingness to share thoughts and feelings,
• Learning to receive and give feedback
• The practice will initiate collective responsibility for the promotion of self-esteem and positive behaviour.
• It will establish a forum where children can help one another.

Please do let me know if you wish to know more about this practice. We will be happy to share it with you..may be you may try it home also.

Regards

Smita Rathore
