3. • Acknowledging existence of diverse learning spaces / curriculum sites (apart from classroom) viz., farm, workplace, home, community and media. 
4. • Building knowledge base treating the child as constructor of knowledge (instead passive listener) through dialogical communication (instead of didactic communication) making learning 
5. a joyful, participatory and meaningful activity; so that knowledge becomes dynamic instead of “given”. 
6. • Organizing learner centered, activity based, participatory learning experiences – play, projects, discussion, dialogue, observation, visits and learn to reflect on their own teaching practice. 
7. • Integrating academic learning with social, personal qualities of learners responding diversities in the classroom. 
8. • Promotes constitutional vision – values of peace, democratic way of life, equality, liberty, fraternity, secularism, zeal for social reconstruction. 

5. The purpose of all these, is to make teacher fully engaged in children’s holistic learning and development, for which she / he (teacher) should have thorough understanding of the child and her / his social cultural contexts. In addition, the teacher must have competence in different areas of school
