Our teachers are chosen from educational institutions in India and abroad. They seek a position at Mayoor for the opportunity to teach differently, to be active agents of change and growth, and to evolve as a ‘friend, philosopher and guide’ in an empowered atmosphere of creativity, inquiry and caring.
Teachers undergo regular and rigorous training in pedagogical (instructional) methodology, pastoral care and in their specific subject areas. Professional development opportunities will be provided to teachers on an ongoing basis ensuring that faculty is motivated and up-to-date with their curriculum.
The procedure for selection to faculty is as follows:
Mayoor recognizes the importance of discipline to facilitate learning and growth for every child. We strive to create an atmosphere of orderliness and respect for others' needs which, at the same time, nurtures an environment of freedom to enquire and to express. We have a strict Code of Conduct for students. There is also a merit system wherein students get positive or negative house points on areas such as hygiene, cleanliness, submission of homework etc., exhibiting ethical behavior which supports the core values of the school and of the society.
Awards are given for excellence in different areas, as we believe that positive reinforcement of good behavior can build self-esteem and strong values.
We believe in developing students to be independent learners and be responsible about their own learning, thereby meeting the demands of the increasingly challenging world.
There is a dedicated room for the Counselor as well as Academic Support services. Specialized teachers offer these services, to students facing academic or learning difficulties. The school counselor will provide short term personal and academic counseling to support students in addressing the issues impacting their learning and/or their emotional/social wellbeing.
