  1. CURRICULUM 2011-2012 Curriculum orientation for teachers www.cmcaindia.org

  2. THE CMCA EXPERIENCE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRAM CMCA – the organization The CMCA Member School Other Influences • Curriculum • Effectiveness of CMCA Volunteers/civic tutors • Systems and Processes • Support to the program • The teacher coordinator • School environment – how democratic & civic conscious is the school? • Awareness, practices & support at home vis-à-vis civic and democratic issues • Peer group • Media etc. Active & Empowered Junior Citizens www.cmcaindia.org

  3. Expected Outcomes • Base Outcomes: These are simple and basic outcomes that are to be achieved from each and every Civic Club member. It is important that these outcomes are the key focus while facilitating sessions. These outcomes focus on the first step towards changing attitudes and habits – awareness. • Mid-Level Outcomes:These outcomes focus on simple changes in attitudes and higher levels of awareness in civic club members (ME) and in spreading awareness to the family (through parent ripples). These outcomes are also influenced by the support from the school and teacher coordinator, from families and peer groups etc. We hope that mid-level outcomes are achieved from at least a third of the members in each club. www.cmcaindia.org

  4. Expected Outcomes • High-Level Outcomes:These outcomes focus on deep levels of understanding and practice of core civic values. There are many influences on a child that bring about such deep learning, including family, school and peer groups, media etc. We hope that increasing numbers of our Civic Club members achieve high-level outcomes each year. www.cmcaindia.org
