Every child is different. Children of every age are different, their thought process and academic needs are different. We understand this and we deliberate on this issue at different levels.
In our HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL concept, we have introduced different methodologies for primary and secondary divisions.
*Through various interactive technologies and traditional media we make the teaching interesting. *And only teaching is not enough, learning is vital . we have various assessment techniques to assess our students’ ability on various grounds and not only on marks.
OUR IDEOLOGIES inevitably influence the development of the curriculum , but at the same time are themselves influenced by the prevailing social ideologies.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Curriculum is a standards-based sequence of planned experiences where students practice and achieve proficiency in content and applied learning skills
Curriculum is the central guide for we all educators at our Hasti public school , one of the top ranked school in the Khandesh region as to *what is essential for teaching and learning, so that every student has access to rigorous academic experiences.
Curriculum is organized into three main sections:
1. Program Planning (general information)
2. Curriculum Context (information for specific curriculum)
3. Curriculum Expectations (what students learn) and Teacher Supports (how students might learn).
Curriculum is written primarily for teachers and educators, so
Program Planning
*Program Planning information applies to the curriculum in all subjects and disciplines in Grades 1 to 12. It provides the most up-to-date information on policy governing education in schools . For example, it includes information regarding the creation of safe, accepting and inclusive classrooms.
Educators are guided by Program Planning information as they:
• develop lessons and programs based on the curriculum and
• create the classroom and school environments in which the lessons and programs are taught.
Curriculum Context
Each curriculum has a section that supports the teaching of the specific subjects. This section often includes the vision and goals for the curriculum. It also has information that guides educators as they develop lessons and programs. n.
Curriculum Expectations and Teacher Supports
The curriculum combines the curriculum expectations (what students learn) with teacher supports (how students might learn) while giving teachers the flexibility to choose appropriate resources and teaching strategies.
Curriculum
Teacher Supports
Curriculum expectations are often accompanied by optional “teacher supports” that give tools, examples and resources related to specific learning goals.
Teacher supports may include examples and other teaching resources. These show how students may achieve the learning outlined in the curriculum expectations.
STRUCTURE OF OUR CURRICULUM
Primary school years are the crucial years that lay a foundation to a life-long journey of learning, hence aptly called as the Early Years Foundation Stage
The curriculum focuses on play-way method with the epicenter being the key areas of learning: physical, personal, social and emotional development; literacy skills; numeracy skills;
understanding the world through enquiry; and expressions through art, music and dance
The curriculum provides a balance of daily teacher-directed activities and child-directed activities that make learning fun.
Primary Curriculum
Our Core Curriculum
We follow four guiding principles for curriculum development:
• Connecting knowledge to life outside the school.
• Ensuring that learning shifts away from rote methods.
• Enriching the curriculum so it goes beyond text books.
• Making examinations more flexible and integrating them with classroom life.
Children at our HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL ,DONDAICHA learn and develop through:
• A number of informal methods like activities, projects, presentations and hands-on experiences, apart from formal learning;
• Activities like free play, dramatization, enacting through puppets, singing, dancing, cooking, art, and so on;
• Outdoor and indoor play and games;
• Sharing ideas with other children and discovering facts for themselves through observation and reference work; exhibitions
• Exciting experiential learning opportunities through field trips which are planned for specific educational purposes;
• Exploring and reading books, newspapers and magazines, thus enhancing their knowledge and inculcating in them an interest to be learning-oriented while appreciating the value of reading and research;
• An appropriate balance of whole group, small group and individual activities, which cater to individual differences in learning;
