Launchpad Curriculum Design

 

The program has been designed for the students of classes 7th, 8th and 9th. Students in each subsequent year will be progressively exposed to new and complex scenarios to ensure that the learnings stick with them throughout their lives. The program, depending upon the choice of the school management, can be run in the following ways:

 

a)  Option 1 (Learning & Development Partner Approach): In this method the program will be made a part of the overall learning curriculum and the school will allocate two periods per week per section of a class to be set aside for the Launchpad Program. In this scenario, the program will be completed over a period of 8 months and the learnings and monitoring can be sustained and mapped adequately.

 

b)  Option 2 (Workshop Approach): In this method the program will be run in the form of workshops which will be organized once a month for a total of 4 months for each class. The monitoring of the progress and mapping of the competencies desired for the students will be carried out post workshop in the intermittent period between the two workshops.
