Specialist group of Faculty Members

At Pathfinder the most eminent subject specialist Board Faculty Members are associated to take Madhyamik Board Classes.

Methodology of Teaching

In the beginning of the new academic session, we prepare an Academic Calendar to frame the entire curriculum of the year. As per the Academic Calendar our Faculty Members prepare the Lecture Plan of the syllabus. Throughout the year

we assess the students by taking …… i) Class Tests (20marks) quarterly; ii) Unit Test (50 marks)- one; iii) Half- Yearly (70 marks)- one (for class- VIII & IX); iv) Annual Test (90 marks)- one (for Class-VIII & IX); v) Pre- Mock (70 marks)- one (for class- X) & vi) Mock Test- Set-I, II & III (90 marks) for Class-X. Also, we practice MCQ pattern of questions by providing a special class (quarterly) in the Activity Class. Video classes are also provided on specific subjects like Life Science; Geography and English. We do also provide Home Assignments after completion of each chapter and the students submit the same in the next class for correction. In every class before starting a new portion of a chapter our Teachers ask questions to the students from the previous portion of the chapter. Special Support Classes are being provided to the individual student if any chapter miss matches with their School curriculum. Also, individual doubt discussion classes are being provided to the weaker students. If any student does any extra home work from any other reference book our Teachers help them by checking their copies and solving their doubts. Also, when required our Teachers do provide valuable notes to the students and provide guidelines for the project work too. They teach the students in depth, clear the concepts of the chapters, teach them how to write an answer as per the Board norms and aware them the marking pattern of the Board.

Assessment and Feedback report of the Students

After each month we do take feedback of individual students from all the Teachers that how they are performing in the class, whether they are interacting with the Teachers or can answer the questions asked by the Teachers or they are attentive in the class or they are not responding in the class. Parents can see the feedback report after each month. For weaker students our Teachers do discuss their problems with the guardians and help them to recover from their problem areas. We also conduct Parents Teachers Meeting on regular intervals to discuss the entire progress of the students. Our Class Coordinators keep in close contact with the students, know their requirements by taking feedback from them and also from their parents that whether they are studying at home and completing their home works.

Preparation of Question Papers and Model Answers

Top notch eminent specialist subject Teachers prepare the question papers after rigorous research that which questions will be important from which chapters for the coming year. Model Answer is prepared as per the guideline of the Board norms.

Procedure after the examination

We declare the result after 20 days of completion of the examination. Along with the corrected answer script, students get the detailed model answer of each subject. The teachers associated in various West Bengal Board Schools and also the Examiners or Head Examiners of Board are associated with Pathfinder evaluate the answer scripts. While evaluating the answer scripts they do put remarks against incorrect/wrong answers so that in future the students can rectify themselves. Also, after correction of the entire answer script the Teacher gives an overall remark for a student in which area, he/ she must improve and where to give more attention and do more practice. After correction the same answer script is further scrutinized by the examiner. Evaluation is done maintaining the Board norms. After the declaration of the result, we conduct Doubt Clearing Class for all the classes. Here students come with their doubts on their answer scripts and clear from the subject teacher. This is a one-is-to-one basis doubt clearing session. It conducts in all the centres. After completion of the examination, we do also declare the Ranker List of our all 42 centres.

Capsule Classroom Programme

This is a special assignment-based classroom programme on all subjects held after Mock Test- Set-II. This programme is only for Class-X students only. Here our teachers prepare the assignments covering the entire syllabus based on the Board pattern and norms. Class duration will be 4 hrs for each subject. Hence a student will get 28 hrs total class duration. These classes are taken by Top notch eminent subject specialist faculty members. In the class they teach the students how to write as per the mark’s division, the writing style and techniques and the evaluation procedure as per the Board norms. Audio visual classes are provided in Life Science; Geography and English class. In short, a student gets a revision on the entire subject with Board norms and techniques in a nutshell before the Board examination. After the class students get a Home Assignment too on each and every subject for practicing at home.

Practice Test Paper & Help Line Number

Along with the above sets of examinations of Class-X, we also provide the student a Practice Test Paper with detailed solutions on all 7 subjects which is prepared by our group of faculty members. Again, all the students (only class- X) get the Helpline number of our Faculty members and students can clear their doubts over the phone and this facility remains till the last day of the Board examination.
