The faculty of Jiva Public School has played a vital role in shaping its quintessential spirit. Each faculty member is both a teacher, an expert in his or her own field as well as a guide for the students. The faculty at JPS consists of 75 full time highly qualified teachers, who have extensive teaching experience in their respective fields.

The teachers are emblematic of JPS culture and ethos, which is the thread that binds the entire teaching fraternity of the JPS community. This academic community not only imparts instruction through the regular teaching periods, but also engages students in a variety of activities, that instills both team spirit as well as leadership qualities in them.

Lesson Plan
Teachers at Jiva realize that time is precious, and that it must be utilized fully to bring out the best results. They take on the full mantle of creating environments that are conducive to learning. For this reason, each teacher creates a lesson plan that clearly defines her learning objectives, activities, appropriate questions, examples and home-school connection. The lesson plans (complete with a gamut of activities along with the Multiple Intelligences and Multiple Natures used) help teachers make the most out of the contact time with the students.
The Kindergarten teachers plan their day minutely to a five minute slot keeping the children engaged with equal energy throughout the day.

Activity Calendar
All Jiva teachers plan out various culminating activities that they perform at the end of each month, which are connected to their subject objectives. These include conducting elections, outside expeditions to local places of interest, exhibitions, interviews and surveys in the neighbourhood.

Portfolios
Portfolios are collections of students’ work representing a selection of their performances. Jiva has introduced ‘student portfolios’ this year to enable them to develop as whole learners. They would get an assessment of themselves while they explore the environment around them. It is hoped that such portfolios would teach the students to represent themselves to the world, not only academically but also through their skills and strengths and would increase their chances of creating opportunities for themselves and get the best jobs.
