How far our teaching approach is following the trend and demand for future challenge OR static. Our product is students who will face the future career challenge, competitative, senergy etc. Thinking-Based Learning Promoting Quality Student Achievement in the 21st Century. When we should start.

Educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom observed that most teaching and learning never gets beyond remembering and comprehending facts. As he explained, the true goal of learning is to be able to analyze, synthesize and evaluate facts and ideas, and to develop original ideas.
Traditional “frontward” teaching begins with basic facts, and gets stuck there. Backwards Thinking™  begins with the highest level of reasoning. Students start by designing and making a never-before-seen object that represents what they will learn in the textbook. They explain how it functions and where it belongs. Then they have traditional guided lessons to learn the basic subject matter.
