Dr. Suchismita Khanra (Joardar) Assistant Professor, Department of Sanskrit Victoria Institution (College) Kolkata

I am proud to be an alumnus of Ramakrishna Sarada Mission Vivekananda Vidyabhavan. It is not merely an academic institution, but a temple of learning for me. I found profound bliss in the lush greenery of the college campus as well as in the serenity and the politics-free environment. The disciplined college life, the well-stocked library and above all the student-teacher bonding offered an excellent academic atmosphere. Not only the syllabus-oriented lessons, but also the daily Morning Prayer, the cultural activities throughout the year and the moral lessons enriched me a lot and helped me greatly to become a better version of myself. I can hardly forget the individual attention, immense support and continuous inspiration that I had received from my teachers. I express my sincere gratitude to my teachers, because of whom I have become what I am today. I feel, indeed, lucky enough to be a member of the Vidyabhavan-family and I shall cherish the sweet memories of the golden years of my precious college-life forever.

Departmental Policy for Slow and Advanced Learners on the basis of minutes of departmental meeting held on 14/07/2022

At first identification of slow and advanced learners was done from class through class-response/performance of respective students within one month from the commencement of their classes. Moreover regular assessments, teacher observations and input from parents or guardians also help to identify the slow learners.

Slow and advanced learners of semester II & IV are identified on the basis of their performance of previous tests as well as on the ability to participate in classroom activities.
Students are enlisted as slow learners and advanced learners with the objective of improving their academic proficiency.
Assessment of student quality made by teachers in individual capacity in terms of the following:

Discussion in classes
Asking relevant questions in class

Evaluation of knowledge through question-answer sessions

Student seminars, projects, group discussions micro teaching etc.
Written class assignments, class tests, oral tests, tutorials

Assessment made by teachers is discussed in a single agendum departmental meeting
Help is provided to slow learners in terms of monitoring their reading and writing abilities. Students are repeatedly told that they should read the Sanskrit text books thoroughly. All the teachers give written answers and study materials to them. They are asked to prepare notes themselves if they want more simple and easily comprehendible answers which will be easy to remember. They are encouraged to get these notes corrected by respective teachers. They are also advised to write within a time limit so as to facilitate their writing speed.
Advanced learners are encouraged join seminars and talks both online and offline on various topics on their respective courses. They are also advised to prepare Power point presentations, participate in group discussions on topics both within and outside the purview of the syllabus both within and outside the College

SLOW LEARNERS

Special monitoring is done by individual teachers in and outside classrooms to assist slow learners. We provide small group instruction or one-on-one tutoring for slow learners. This allows for more personalized attention and tailored instruction.
Important points and topics are highlighted, referral and class notes are simplified so that slow learners can learn without any difficulty. We adapt the Sanskrit curriculum to suit the learning needs and pace of slow learners. This might involve simplifying materials, breaking lessons into smaller segments, or providing additional resources
Special importance is given to them in tutorial classes.
We continuously monitor the progress of slow learners and adjust teaching strategies as needed. We take regular feedback from parents .
We allow slow learners extra time to complete assignments and assessments in the tutorials.This can help reduce anxiety and allow them to demonstrate their understanding.
We provide emotional and behavioral support as needed because slow learners may experience frustration or low self-esteem. There is counseling as well as mentoring session for the benefit of the students.

ADVANCE LEARNERS

Advanced learners are encouraged to prepare write ups on topics related to the syllabus.
We conduct periodic assessments to track the progress and development of advanced learners, providing constructive feedback and adjusting support as needed
Conceptual learning is encouraged for the advanced learners.
We provide advanced learners with opportunities for specialized training, workshops, or courses that cater to their specific needs and interests.
We allow advanced learners to participate in research projects and collaborative initiatives.
Advanced learners are also encouraged to participate and present papers in students’ seminars. We ensure that advanced learners have access to necessary resources, including books, journals, software, and equipment, to support their learning and research endeavors.

Attendance registers are prepared for semesters I, II & V and semesters II, IV & VI respectively. Assessment is given in the form of write-ups on important topics, classroom discussions on relevant parts of the syllabus, collaborative projects and individual home assignments.
