Isdan-School
We believe that modern teaching methodology should prepare students for the workforce.
For this reason, we have decided to apply a pedagogy entirely based on project practice.
Indeed, we agree that students need to be prepared to follow specifications and deadlines. To achieve this, we immerse them in an active pedagogy based on practice.
Throughout each year, students will complete around twenty different projects, or more, to acquire specific and solid skills.
In Isdan School pedagogy, we aim to build an active network of students and future professionals. For this reason, at the end of the learning period, our students can choose a tribe name as a promotion team to gather everyone under one flag.
Superior year tribes may tutor lower year tribes during projects supervised by the teaching team.
Our teaching teams have been trained according to these pedagogies, so they have also been trained to teach.
During their course, students can become technical/pedagogical assistants and teach on modules to learn not only to transmit but also to sharpen their knowledge.
This is done under the supervision of the teaching team and on specific cases selected by them.
Project-based pedagogy implies that students are graded either during presentations or by correction robots.
Presentations allow students to present their projects as they would in a company.
Correction robots teach students rigour, as they check the writing standards in their codes and prohibit certain types of writing.
Any pedagogy, no matter how modern, requires students to be diligent and dedicated to their studies. For this reason, we have decided to be strict on this point.
Students can work remotely, but only if their attendance score is higher than 2/5. The attendance score is a note that appears on their user interface and takes into account, on each mandatory module, the respect of deadlines, frequent push on Git, their presence during daily meetings, and their success on modules.
All these factors create a score out of 5, and depending on their involvement, the pedagogy may decide to make adaptations.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
