Global is not centered on study materials. Instead, its goal is school transformation. Global puts
emphasis on a school's ethos, positive languages and processes:
1. Culture, ethos and positive languages are accompanied by study processes and methods that
make learning joyful and accelerated. Data on each student's academic topic wise performance

Global study methods integrate kinesthetic, tactile, visual and scienti c methods. Classroom strategies involve every child in hands-on interactive learning. These methods help children discover the
facts by themselves and understand better. World class assessments help students self-assess progress, plan and study smarter. Every child learns more and shows greater progress than in the past.

Cooperative Games No school can exceed the quality of its teachers. We have to train our teachers in a systematic manner in which the end results, the
assessments, the study materials, the methods and the processes are all part of an integral whole and training addresses them as a
