testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

testing procedure

57

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

2 To support academically weak students differently abled

Action Steps

Remedial Education for the Students of the College The methodology will be a two - group process

The first group will be termed as differently abled students

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process

testing procedure

57

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

Here the remedial education will be initiated by administering tests in two phases

bull Phase one would consist of an informal test wherein around 250

students of English medium Gujarati medium and Commerce Dept

(First Year) will be tested Phase 1 procedure to be completed by end

of August 2010 It would take around 1 - V2 hour for the informal

testing procedure

57

bull Depending upon phase 1 results students will be selected for formal

testing which will be Phase 2 wherein testing will be done to assess

their levels and areas of difficulties faced in academics and thus it

will be easier for the college to provide them with the needed

assistance

bull The cost of the formal psychological testing will be 6000- per

student the cost of the testing could be borne by the parents

themselves It will be the responsibility of Remedial Educator to

counsel the parents for the formal testing of their wards The final

decision will be completely left upon the parents as to whether they

agree to proceed further and allow their daughter to undergo themiddot

testing

bull Another suitable alternative will be to provide the needy students with

sponsorships so as to help them undergo psychological evaluation

bull Following the completion of phase 1 procedure remedial education

will be immediately started Irrespective of whether the students

proceed further for phase 2 procedure they still will be a part of

remedial education sessions

bull The sessions will be conducted every Wednesday comprising of two

lectures for each group Thus the college is expected to allot a room

for the remedial sessions on every Wednesday

bull Two groups of 10 girls per group could be catered to simultaneously

on the same day

The Second Group will be termed as academically weak students

bull Herein each department will volunteer for remedial education of their

respective depts

58

bull The professors will initially identify the academically weak students

on the basis of their previous test results of their subject

bull Those students scoring less than their expected potential could also

be selected for the remedial education

bull Ex - students senior students teachers will be assigned with the

responsibility of providing intensive remedial teaching to them The

professor - in - charge of the subject will provide them with the

needed assistance and resource material

bull These sessions will be conducted twice a week for each group

bull The remedial teachers appointed for each department will keep the

remedial educator updated as to how the sessions are proceeding

bull Herein they will follow the system of a pre- test followed by three

sessions which would then be followed by a post - test The results of

the post - t~st will help to assess the success of the remedial

seSSlOns It will also enable them to assess the teaching methods

followed by them in the teaching process
