NEW WAYS TO LEARN
We are always looking to find new and creative ways to stimulate learning and continually striving to improve the way we teach. Our emphasis on enquiry-based approaches, both within and beyond traditional learning environments, means we're quick to implement new technologies wherever we believe they will be beneficial; we are looking to develop well-rounded students with 21st century skills who are ready for an increasingly globalized world.
At OOS - Daniha, we benefit from best-practice teaching methods shared by professional educators but some of our freshest ideas come from listening to our students and their families.
PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT
As a parent, it’s only natural that you’ll want to take an active role in your child’s education. At OOS, we actively encourage parents to engage with their child’s learning and are leading the way to introduce a parental engagement strategy into our schools.
Research has shown that the single biggest reason a child does well at school is the support of parents who take a real, active and consistent interest in their child’s education at home. The research suggests that a parent who is actively and consistently engaged in their child’s learning can add the equivalent of 2-3 years of additional education over their school career. This is precisely why we’re so keen to promote the importance of parental engagement.
Conversation is at the heart of positive parental engagement. It’s not necessarily about sitting with your child and helping them with their homework. Every parent, regardless of their culture, language or experience, can talk to their child and show an interest in their learning. By asking questions, listening and encouraging your child with praise and direction, you can reinforce learning and become an active partner in the educational process.
We believe passionately in helping all our students reach their full potential, which is why we have introduced the Parental Engagement into our schools. This provides opportunities for parents to engage with their child’s learning and develop a better understanding of engagement strategies and their child’s learning needs.
