Pre-Nurture & Career Foundation: Teaching Methodology

Aptitude

Aptitude is the natural ability to learn particular activity quickly and easily. We're all familiar with aptitude. We've heard of the "gifted" musician or athlete, the "born" scientist or engineer, the "natural" salesman or politician. When we use these sort of designations, we mean that these people seem to fit perfectly into a Job/ Talent/ Role.

Pre-Nurture supports in identifying the right aptitude of a child at the right time to excel in life through:

• National Mathematics Talent Contest (NMTC),
  conducted by Association of Mathematics Teachers
  of India (AMTI), India. Cyber Olympiad (NCO / UCO) conducted by Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), India / Unified Council.
• TECHNOTHLON, conducted by lIT Guwahati, India.
• Various Summer Workshops like SSEP, EPGY, CTY in USA & OSP in UK
• IRIS Science Fair conducted by Department of
  Science technique, India in association with CII
  (Confederation of Indian Industry) & INTEL..

Skills

In every human some skills are natural and some are developed through training. We can develop above skills in children to succeed in life and manage every stage of their career successfully.

Pre-Nurture supports in developing skills through :

• Participating in various Workshops, Seminars and
  Conferences throughout year as a individual and in a team.
• Personal counselling to child for her/his specific
  needs or problems.
• Spiritual events and value based education to help a child to think right & positively and developing
  her/him as a good human being.
• Cultural Activities.

Exposure

Exposure to various aspects of the world around us helps to dream big. A person can only aspire to the level of her/his awareness and exposure in life. Our life is a cumulative effect of all the decisions taken time to time.
Our decisions at every stage are based on what exposure we had till date. We can never dream of something we have never come across. It is important to take note of the
areas that increase your level of exposure as these become the much needed arsenal to propel us to the next level of life. Children sometimes only aspire as far as they can see their parents doing. Expose your children to good things and watch them excel.

Pre-Nurture Helps to widen the exposure of a child and her/his degree of awareness by participation in :
