Editor’sNote “WHERE NEW-AGE LEARNING TECHNIQUES ARE THE FOCAL AREA…” A child’s mental, emotional, social and personality development completely depends on the early years of his childhood- the amount of care and attention ensured by the parents.

ALO EX Shaping Glocal Learners

KALOREX GROUP A

THE WOMAN WHO MADE IT HAPPEN

pioneer catering to the learning needs of students from all economic groups with its primary focus on K-12 educational activities, Kalorex Group is the creative vision of Manjula Pooja Shroff, the MD & CEO of the company. The seed of the vision was implanted in 1995 with the mission of achieving excellence in K-12 education through a sound vision, innovation, and professionalism.

Manjula Pooja Shroff, MD & CEO, Kalorex Group, is a dynamic entrepreneur and an educationist with ardent zeal. In 1996, she began her entrepreneurial journey by establishing the first Delhi Public School (DPS) in Gujarat with a strong value of dedication, compassion, and devotion to the complete development of children. Over her journey of 26 years in the realm of education, the inspiring leader has touched the lives of thousands of students and teachers and has played a crucial role in their success stories too.

Today with 40 plus institutions-strong network of eight K-12 institutions and 30 plus preschools in Gujarat, , Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka under the hat, Kalorex Group has steadily grown with its impeccable pedagogy, updated curriculum, state-of-the-art infrastructure, scientific and advanced study material, and added new dimensions to its portfolio ensuring that it covers every segment of the society.

Dr. Manjula has always believed in participative leadership and has promoted a flat rather than a hierarchical structure in the organization which empowers all the staff members to be responsible and accountable towards their role in their respective institutes. She is a strong self-made leader who has achieved remarkable success in a highly competitive industry and has made a mark by her sheer passion for education and determination to allow every student an opportunity that he or she deserves. She strives to break through the barriers of the conventional learning methods and focuses on establishing a contemporary and unconventional approach for education. Today, she works rigorously towards her dream, making education more accessible to all; regardless of their progress and socioeconomic status.

Offering high-quality education to over 34,000 plus students mentored by 3,700 plus teachers over the past two and a half decades, Kalorex is counted among the largest group of educational institutions in India that aims to “be the first choice for all possible target groups in providing quality education” It is a name that resembles professionalism and excellence in schooling and is often recognized as a quality conscious group with a focus on Innovation and use of Technology in Learning.

Its vision is “Shaping Glocal Learners with commitment to provide a safe and stimulating environment, to prepare competent, compassionate and creative thinkers in this rapidly changing world.”

Talking about the factors that inspired her to establish Kalorex, the dignified woman states – “Education has always inspired me. I come from a very conservative royal

family in Orissa where I was educated in a good convent school. I was good at studies and was also passionate about all schoolrelated activities and programmes. In my family girls were allowed education till the 10th and they were married at a very young age. When I saw this happening, I realized that this was not the kind of life I wanted to lead. I did not know that education was my liberation but I knew that education higher than 10th grade was important for me to become something. I became more determined to not only enhance my educational qualifications but to also empower others through the power of Education. This is how I undertook this journey of starting my own set of institutions”. The Kalorex Group thus started its operations in 1995 and moving to Ahmedabad gave her the opportunity to open her first Delhi Public School, as a franchise in 1996 . The success of that model led to several initiatives that came up under the Kalorex banner through more than two and a half decades now. Manjula’s journey as an entrepreneur in India has seen its share of ups and downs. Especially when she was at her initial phase, people did not take her seriously, she being very young and inexperienced, but over the years she got motivated when young women take inspiration from her journey to start their ventures. In the ecosystem of India today her journey is very relevant when people are emphasizing on women empowerment and equality.

A Name Synonymous To Professionalism & Excellence In Schooling- Kalorex With a wide range of opportunities and services to different natures and groups of students, Kalorex is actively catering to the education industry specifically in the K-12 segment. Since its inception, Kalorex has established under its umbrella, the two Delhi Public Schools ( Bopal and East Ahmedabad), Calorx Olive International School – a full spectrum IB school at Ahmedabad and Calorx Public Schools at Ahmedabad, Mundra, and Bharuch. Apart from this they also have a chain of Pre – Schools spread out across Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. These are franchise as well as company-owned schools. Dr. Manjula Pooja further apprised,

“Over the 26 years of our existence we have had an immense impact on the education industry of not only Gujarat but also across the country and abroad. Our alumni are spread across the globe working successfully as engineers, physicists, consultants, bankers, and entrepreneurs. They are the best ambassadors and have made the Kalorex Flag fly high across the world. Apart from this, our stakeholders, rights from parents, students, teachers, vendors, and consultants have benefitted from our outreach and experience. Our consultancy services also provide management support to academic and administrative aspects of other schools.” As a promise to cater to all educational and vocational needs of students, Kalorex Group has a school for Special Learning Needs to be called Kalorex Prerna and an institute called Visamo Kids Foundation which is a home for underprivileged but bright students who study in the partner schools across Ahmedabad and are offered premium K-12 education and vocational guidance beyond school years too. They have also opened a Vocational and Educational Institute of Calorx (VEDIC) for skill development for underprivileged girls to train them towards setting up their own business or getting employment.

KALOREX’S

UNIQUE PHILOSOPHY & LEADING EDGE

Kalorex believes in Academic Excellence as one of its Core Values. Towards this, they have always tried to upgrade themself by incorporating the best practices of academics in their classrooms through their teaching-learning processes. They have also developed their indigenous Kalorex taxonomy which incorporates the theories and practices that teacher are trained and use in their teaching.

In the words of Dr. Manjula, “We ensure that we address all groups of students. Be it from any economic or social strata or have any special educational needs. We feel that we are the only group that does that and this is what our leading-edge is.” VALUE ADDITIVE INITIATIVES

The annual quality audits are one feature that has added immense value to the organization. They have set quality standards across all aspects right from the Group’s Philosophy to the attributes required in students, teachers, and all stakeholders. These are measured as practices with visible evidence and best performing institutes are rewarded to motivate them further. Another value add is Kalorex’s Excellent Teacher Programme which ensures that the teachers undergo regular training in the latest pedagogies and are observed in their classroom practices for implementation of the same. This enhances the teaching quality and also provides continuous professional development for the teachers.

Kalorex Core Values exemplify the evolution of the organization with time and incorporate the values that have seeped into the organizational culture, signifying that it is always– Kinetic and Evolving, strives towards Academic Excellence, always Lives in the gaps, expects Ownership, questions Raison D’etre, it Empowers all and demonstrates the X factor.

SYNCHRONIZING WITH THE LATEST TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENTS

Kalorex Group believes in staying updated with the latest in educational technology and tools to enhance the teachinglearning processes as well as play a role in the improvement in the school management systems. When technology was a distant dream in most schools in the early 2000s, teachers and students were using laptops in schools and projectors and digital content for teaching. Today they have advanced to a level where the teachers are using the ICT tools in their classroom teaching and are using the new age teaching methods like padlets, mentimeters, and digital libraries in their blended classes.

The organization is planning for expansion in both pre-school and K-12 segments with the intent to make its presence in other southern and western states as well. The team is also exploring more ways to engage students constructively on the campus by offering them services that they seek outside school. Making Digital Learning all-encompassing is the way ahead through expanding our platform eKal to offer more courses for all categories of learners is our plan.

Dr. Manjula wraps with the message “Today is the time to take stock of where we stand and re-evaluate our positions. Post pandemic is a very different world that we will be living in. We will need to reinvent old practices and move on to the new normal ways of teaching and learning.”

High use of technology in education alone cannot ensure quality in education unless the intent and application are clear on both teachers’ and students’ fronts. The school management needs to make informed decisions on investing in the correct kind of technology which will lend itself to enhancing learning outcomes. Blended techniques thus need to be utilized where face-to-face teaching is supplemented by the

Teachers need to inculcate leadership qualities in students by focusing on students’ communication skills, strategic thinking and decision-making ability and negotiation skills clubbed with financial literacies. The world will be accessed more through a virtual stage in the coming era and online learning platforms are the way ahead. A good teacher encourages independent thoughts and independent learning. Contemporariness of the teacher is very important and continuous efforts have to be made to ensure that the teacher becomes a role model and a positive influence to set and achieve goals”.

EARLY LIFE Arianna Huffington was born as Ariadne-Anna Stasinopoulou in Athens, Greece, on July 15, 1950. She moved to the United Kingdom to study Economics at GIRTON College, Cambridge, at the age of 16. She was the first foreigner and the third female President of the Cambridge Union

CAREER Arianna began her career as a writer when, in 1973, she published a book called ‘The Female Woman’. In her write-ups, she has criticized the drive for Women’s Liberation. She has written articles and biographies of Maria Callas named‘Maria Callas - The Woman Behind the Legend’, and a life story of Pablo Picasso, ‘Picasso: Creator and Destroyer’, for the National Review. Arianna dipped her toes into acting. She starred in shows such as Roseanne and How I Met Your Mother. The path of her career was full of ups and downs. Despite the success of her first book, she had to face 36 rejections for her second book. Rather than sitting back and getting upset, Arianna decided to gain confidence and wisdom with each failure to take up even greater obstacles that she can tackle. The rejections only strengthened her determination in future pursuits. She stood up and together with her business partner Ken Lerer, launched The Huffington Post. Today, as HuffPost is continuing to dominate Internet media, sustainability has been achieved and traffic is currently five times higher than its new media opponents.

In the 2003 California recall election for the post of Governor, Arianna took part but withdrew her nomination. Hosted by Arianna Ariannaonline. com.

With Huffington and Matalin, a combined radio show was broadcasted over the weekends, Arianna was on the panel of Both Sides Now.

“It was injected into me by my mother that failure was not something one could fear, it was not the opposite of success. It was just a bridge that would take you to success. And I didn’t have to fear failure. Perseverance is everything. I’m not giving up. Everyone faces failures, but people who keep going on are successful”

As a Young World Counsellor, who is blessed with exceptional speechmaking abilities, she addressed representatives at summits held in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dublin and Ireland.

This curriculum was built on the ‘I Can affirmations’ that are Measurable, Specific, Contextual, Graded, Communicative, and Matched to the proficiency level of the learners. These ‘I Can’ affirmations were recognized to build positive affirmations in the children right from a young age. According to neuroscience research, people continue to acquire new skills, learn new concepts, and embed new habits, talent and capabilities, if we believe in ourselves and are willing to evolve through experiences. The new iCan Curriculum was built on a competence-based education approach whereby each learner receives a clear set of learning targets and gets the support they need to master each topic before they move on to the next. Kangaroo Kids ensures that as early as kindergarten, children know what they need to learn and how to work independently. The instructors at Kangaroo Kids continuously explore all the possibilities that young learners are capable of or CAN do, rather than focusing on what they cannot. Using ‘I CAN’ statements in communication encourages confidence and a mindset of growth in young learners.

through the E-L-P-S approach (Experience – Language – Picture Symbol). The young learners will build and connect mathematical concepts to real-world situations across disciplines, as they learn to identify objects, make comparisons, predict, test ideas and share discoveries. The curriculum is designed in a way whereby each child will use technology as an instructional tool to explore, create, find out about, and understand the world, and learn at their own pace. Our young learners will develop computational thinking and activities that have them logically organize and analyse data to create solutions through theme related application games and coding power sheets. SkippyTech, the in-house app of Kangaroo Kids, has been developed using the neuroscience approach to fast-track learning of vocabulary and reading. It has activities that are hands on, engaging, build enjoyment and provide scaffolding to ease the accomplishment of tasks, as learners take responsibility for learning. We ensure our young children respond to new information and learn to “shift gears” between tasks easily, encouraging them to adapt and adjust to routines and transitions independently. Kangaroo Kids also brings in group activities (including project-based learning), whereby the learners will connect and engage with others to share and develop ideas, collaborate to plan, carry out, and review constructions. This will provide higher engagement opportunities for scaffolding and assessing their progress. Kangaroo Kids continuously undertakes measures to foster young children’s creativity through Project-based learning and Maker Space, where they can work with resources to investigate, discover and solve problems. Under this curriculum, the young learners will be given opportunities to recognize and label their emotions through awareness activities, to identify, regulate and manage their emotions. They will develop the capacity to be reflective, thoughtful, mindful, and self-aware. Physical Wellbeing includes fine motor and gross motor development. Children will engage in activities such as threading beads, puzzles, sorting, etc. that will provide opportunities for handson reinforcement of concepts and skills that have been introduced in a whole group setting. Active play is important for health and wellbeing and for the development of emotional, social, language and thinking skills and leads to gross motor development –balance and laterality and eye-foot coordination.

With this new innovation, learners have enough opportunities to hone their logical, reasoning skills by identifying problems and generating possible solutions, to come to a decision. Kangaroo Kids ensures that the learning that takes place is Integrated as well as Interdisciplinary. Learners are encouraged to explore themes such as Physical Science, Social Science, Earth and Environmental Science, Life/Biological Science and Chemical Science. Young children through this curriculum will observe objects with curiosity, explore cause and effect relationships and apply this knowledge to a new context. They will learn to evaluate ideas, form opinions, and deduce to conclusions for themselves. To acquire the foundation for logical thinking, we at Kangaroo Kids give children many opportunities to count, sort etc.

The core pillars of Kangaroo Kids’ educational philosophy are Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (known as the VUCA world) have been the key principles which made it possible to appear in the Top 10 List of Preschools. The preschool acknowledges the fact that learning is the never ending process and in regard to this, they continue to establish a self-motivated and self- driven approach to ameliorate the overall experience. Thus, Kangaroo Kids proves to be a pioneer in changing the landscape of education. At Kangaroo Kids, we take pride in being able to forecast the future of learning for this decade and translated the insights about the future into action today. Enlighten the world with innovation

EMPOWERMENT

Why India needs a new brigade of Women Empowerment Companies?

A nation grows by the collective efforts of both men and women. You can’t think of a developed economy without allowing half of its population to participate in the development process. A country’s growth is just like a relay race. You run to the best of your ability and pass the object to your partner, but if the partner doesn’t contribute, you lose. There’s a very similar situation India has been facing all these years. The mindset over the last 70 years has been that a male member of society should work and the female should look after the household chores.

equal owner, were taken away from her. When she looked at things creatively and asked out of curiosity, the people around made her feel a fool and thus she stopped looking at things creatively and her curiosity died within. As she reached her teens, the family began looking for a groom and eventually got her married and the world around her changed immensely. Despite all these changes, most women never run away from their responsibilities. In most Indian houses we see a brigade of women who very honestly fulfill their duties towards their home. And this is where the potential lies.

The society has been very rigidly killing the dreams of the girl child through its senseless explanations. However, when I call the society as senseless, it has very much to do with the kind of education they have been imparted. A society is the result of its education. This is so interlinked. The country was looted by the Britishers. When they left the nation, India was an extremely poor nation with a rift between

If we can channelize their management skills in a way that more women gather the self-confidence to share their thoughts, to express their needs, the entire nation grows. Not sure how?

religions, lack of resources, poor infrastructure, and complete uneducated society. Eventually, as things began improving, one thing which grew at a slower pace than others was ‘mindset’. This mindset still believed that boys are the assets for the family and girls as a liability. Thus, the education of girls was considered as the least priority stuff. A human without education will be so much underconfident to make decisions about life. Girls grew up seeing their brothers getting new books to read, a new pair of shoes for school, a new bag and all these fascinating things which she should have been an

This is what happens when everyone gets a chance to contribute. India still lags behind when it comes to talking about sex education, women’s health, and female hygiene. These are still considered as a stigma, a taboo. Our conservative society needs a brigade of women who can step up and talk more about these. A start-up in the field of women’s well being is a need of an hour. At an individual level, we should begin to promote the growth of women through social

media platforms.

At a societal level, we need to be courageous enough to challenge the fixed mindsets. Women’s empowerment can bring in a muchneeded change in the perception of society. We need more of Neerja Bhanot a flight attendant who chose her passengers’ life instead of hers in a plane hijack. Mary Kom, who faced all the hardships from society and yet became a champion at boxing. Kalpana Chawla, who just defied all the stereotypes and went into the space making India a proud nation. There’s a lot to it. The message though is, there’s hidden talent in every Indian household. We must be proud of it and create more opportunities. As a father, brother, husband and in whatever role we can, we must at present and in the future always support the women in our house to be contributing factors to the nation. There’s a lot we can do as a nation when people unite and work together. This is the time when we should all be tired of the stigma and difficulties faced by women around the nation and let them step out and learn a new skill, choose a career, innovate, experiment, try, fail, manufacture, sell, invent and do a lot more of these regularly. Such approaches will make companies grow stronger. A new brigade of women empowered companies will make for a more empowered nation.

Here are the top three essential characteristics to consider while determining which professional international education organization best suits your needs.

Key Criterion No. 1: Excellent study abroad advisers must be well-versed in the subject. Find out how long the agency has been providing international education guidance. Key Criterion No. 2: Excellent communication abilities. How does the agent communicate with you? A professional consultant will take the time to explain his or her ideas to you in a friendly manner.
