Compensation of Academic Loss Programme (CALP)

Under a “Compensation for Academic Loss” programme for the students who miss regular classes due to practice and participation in extracurricular school activities, there are several remedies that can be offered to ensure that they do not fall behind, academically.

*Make-Up Classes*: The school provides extra classes to cover the topics missed by the students involved in extracurricular activities such as games and cultural. These classes can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for the students as well as the teachers, such as after school hours or during the morning assembly.
*Online Resources*: Teachers provide the students, a smooth access to online resources such as recorded lectures, video tutorials, or interactive lessons that students can use to catch up with the missed out material. This allows students to study at their own pace and convenience.
*Peer Support*: Teachers encourage peer support by pairing those students who have missed their classes, with classmates who can help them pick up the left out topics. This can be done through study groups, peer tutoring and collaborative projects.
*Modified Assignments*: Teachers provide modified assignments or assessment sheets to students who have missed classes, taking into account their participation in extracurricular activities. This ensures that students get an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the content despite missing their classes.
*Flexible Deadlines*: Teachers offer flexible deadlines for completion of assignments or projects to students who miss classes due to extracurricular activities. This allows students to complete their work without feeling overwhelmed or pressurised.
*Parent-Teacher Communication*: Establishing open communication between parents and teachers is crucial in ensuring that students who miss classes due to extracurricular activities receive the support they need. Teachers can work with parents to create a plan and devise various compensatory techniques.

Overall, the key is to provide students with the necessary support and resources to help them make up for any academic loss incurred due to participation in extracurricular activities. By implementing a comprehensive compensation programme, teachers can ensure that students are able to balance their academic and extracurricular responsibilities effectively.
