### EPISODE 3: S.M.A.R.T![](https://adm.globalindianschool.org/hubfs/Techmagnate/webinar/img/plus-icon.png) Series: Academics and more

Academics are an integral part of the school, but students need more than academics at school to succeed. Some schools offer skills development, some offer great sports programs, some offer after-school programs, etc. The days of learning just the alphabet in schools are long since gone. Now, we learn public speaking, communication, leadership, and much, much more. This holistic education encourages your child to learn more and develop a curiosity that goes beyond formal education.

Join our experts and thought leaders as they explore, analyze, and discuss; the evolving nature of education, how schools are coping to create solutions that are student-centric and how your child can discover and nurture their strengths and interests, cultivate important values, and realize their full potential to seize opportunities of the future.

### EPISODE 4: S.M.A.R.T![](https://adm.globalindianschool.org/hubfs/Techmagnate/webinar/img/plus-icon.png) Series: Results

How far do good results determine a student’s future? Can good grades be the only benchmark and reflection of a student’s performance? Of course, exams are important. That is how we measure and assess the skills and understanding of the subjects we learn. But we cannot view exam results as life-defining.

Join our experts and thought leaders as they explore, analyze, and discuss; the importance of looking at grades and beyond for a student’s holistic development and how we can define a good result.

### EPISODE 5: S.M.A.R.T![](https://adm.globalindianschool.org/hubfs/Techmagnate/webinar/img/plus-icon.png) Series: Technology - Enabled Schooling

The current world is evolving more rapidly than the capacity of any existing education system. The chal­lenge of learning is getting even harder for the next generations. What part does technology play in disbursing pedagogy? Is it an absolute necessity or is it just an additional requirement that may/may not be integral to the school?

Join our experts and thought leaders as they explore, analyze, and discuss; how modern facilities are helping schools impart education better and where there is no technology, how the same skills are imparted by working smart and thinking of solutions within reach.

### EPISODE 6: S.M.A.R.T![](https://adm.globalindianschool.org/hubfs/Techmagnate/webinar/img/plus-icon.png) Series: S.M.A.R.T Plus

What are the important values that students need to learn in a school? Is the school the right place to inculcate values in students or does charity begin at home? What can schools do to shape students to be well-balanced individuals who show the right amount of respect for the world around them?

Join our experts and thought leaders as they explore, analyze, and discuss; going a step further to imbibe the culture of making basic universal values of kindness and brotherhood among the students. Every school talks about discipline and manners among students, but through small, everyday gestures, how kindness is encouraged which leaves long term effects in teaching students about many other values interlinked to this one human truth.
