Our Pride : OUR STAFF

Our teachers are our greatest strength. Through their committed, sensitive mentorship, students at NMH Global School evolve and grow in academic, creative and social ways. Our teachers execute our dynamic teaching-learning model with incredible focus, unlocking and sparking students’ potential and firmly setting them on the path to life-long excellence in today’s challenging environment. And most of all, they are warm, approachable and caring.

The Staff become lifelong learners, upgrading their practise and personal growth constantly. It is their compassion, zeal and expertise that makes our school an inclusive space, nurturing yet disciplined, progressive yet grounded.

Parent-Teacher Collaboration: The old African Adage of ‘It takes a village to raise a child.

In order to ideate and design an optimal teaching-learning schedule for different age groups and ensure students remain focussed and meaningfully engaged during classes, we need to –

  • Define Learning outcomes and developmental goals.
  • Focus time for different age groups.
  • The amount of time that students can/should spend online and offline learning.
  • Balance between synchronous (face to face) and asynchronous (independent work)-small group and on-on-one instructions. Suitable balance between Academic and Beyond Academic Classes.
  • The time parents are able to dedicate to apporting their child(ren)’s learning.
  • Resources available with the teacher and taught for the online platform.
  • Tools ideal for teaching learning needs.

Critical years for Brain development

To understand this better, we need to look at the stages of brain development. Studies have shown that at 3 years of age the brain is developed at 80% of its capacity and the rest of the child’s development is based on nurture and the environment that the child is exposed to.

By age 6, the brain is 95% of its adult weight and peak of energy consumption. But the neural connections or ‘grey matter’ ae still pruning and wiring of the brain is still in progress from ages 7-22.

This makes schooling a vital link in a child’s neurological development. Social interaction, exposure to novel experiences and avoiding stress through positive relationships ensures that the child’s brain development is organic and this further helps to develop citizens with deep empathy. Online schools provide safe learning spaces within the home where students are engaged and productive, which facilitates the development of neural pathways. This further reduces the extend and severity of the Covid slide.
