Welcome - Our class policies
Our vision at Chumbaka is for all children to have the right skillsets and values to navigate the changing future. As such, we hope that our students will have a fruitful learning experience together with their peers throughout the sessions.
We aim to lead a respectful, conducive, and disciplined class for our students. To achieve this, we have established a few simple policies. You and your child are responsible for complying with these policies upon signing up for our courses.
Classroom Values and Culture
When students attend our classes, they are expected to uphold these values to ensure an effective learning environment for everyone.
Self-paced Learning with 3B
Our material is designed for self-paced learning, with our mentor as guidance. Therefore, students are required to be less dependent on mentors and take charge of their learning by adhering to 3B.
BRAIN: Instead of asking mentors, students are expected to think for answers.
BUDDY: If you can't find an answer on your own, you can ask your friends. Discuss and consider everyone's opinions.
BOSS: Only when all else fails, you may ask your mentor for help. But there's a good chance your mentor will ask you even more questions to help you find an answer.
Right Behaviour with 3R
Being aware of how you behave in class is necessary to create a conducive learning environment. 3R are values that you practice while in class. Each value — respect, responsibility, and resourcefulness — is broad in nature, so you can apply the 3Rs in various situations.
RESPECT
I will listen when others are sharing (muted with video turned on in online classes)
I will put up my hand to ask permission (using appropriate substitute in online classes)
I will be punctual
RESPONSIBILITY
I will keep my goals
I will take care of all properties
I will keep my workspace tidy
RESOURCEFULNESS
I will check if there are any mistakes in my work
I will search for answers before asking for help
I will be creative in solving my problems
Here are some examples of how you check your behaviour by using 3R.
Making jokes about my friend's situation
Your action violates being respectful to others.
Being careless with your books, components, or class property
Your action violates being responsible for your things and other people's things.
Giving up after facing a problem and start disrupting the class
Your actions violate being resourceful and being respectful.
