Phonotics
Message from Academic Head
Padma Rekha P.
“Guru Sakshath Parabrahma”, Indian culture treats teachers next to the creator himself as in practical sense teachers are the sculptors of childrens' future. In turn they are also moulding the society and the country by providing value-based education to children. It is teachers, who make or mar the society through their intensity of quality and dedication towards education. It is the responsibility of the Educational organizations to make teachers conscious about the value education and keep motivating them towards the same. This being the sole principle, JNANA GAMYA plunged into the Teachers Training, by providing rigorous teachers' training course and also by opening the job opportunities within and outside the country.

The Prepared Environment (LEARNING AIDS)
The environment of the child itself tends to either foster creativity or restrict it. Based on PHONITIC learning principles, the Prepared learning aids are created & devised to be consistent with the needs of a child during their process of learning and development. Given the appropriate environment each child / adult is enable to develop and learn naturally through spontaneous, effortless, self-directed activities. Refer Annexure -1, 2 & 3
The Teacher/Directress:
The Teacher/Directress, guides the child through an ordered arrangement of developmentally appropriate activities. The teacher does not teach per say but instead, assists the child to slowly gain mastery over the carefully thought out environment, prepared especially for him/her. She demonstrates the correct process in using the materials as they are individually chosen by the children. The presentations are brief and efficient, giving just enough information to intrigue them so that they will come back to investigate it later. She is a keen observer of the specific interests that pique the curiosity of each child. Observation is crucial to the phonetic Method. She keeps an accurate record of their strengths, accomplishments and work. Thus the role of the teacher is not to lecture with pre-existing knowledge and theory, but instead, to connect each child with the world around them through creative, hands on, sensory integrated materials, to help the child better understand and grasp the concepts presented to him/her. Encouraging each child as they strive to reach their maximum potential at his/her individual rate.
