Teaching and Learning
Students are placed at the centre of teaching and learning at DAIS. An inquiry-based and concept-driven
approach across all subjects will empower students with skills essential for success in the 21st century.
Our academic programme is enhanced and enriched by a wide range of complementary activities that
support and augment students' learning experiences.
Our definition of High Quality Teaching and Learning (HQTL) encompasses a broad set of guidelines
where learning:
• is holistic to meet the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs of learners.
• takes place in a safe and supportive environment.
• happens through inquiry, conceptual understanding, differentiated instruction and use of technology.
• develops critical thinkers.
• nurtures creativity, research and innovation.
• fosters collaboration and effective communication.
• provides experiential learning in local and global contexts.
• incorporates formative assessment, summative assessment and self-assessment to inform teaching
and learning.
• inculcates the values of integrity, empathy, and compassion.
• creates self-directed learners.
