Explain how physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development interact in children aged 6 to 11, using at least three concrete classroom examples per domain.
Compare the key claims of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bandura on how primary-age children learn, and state one instructional implication of each.
Identify and describe at least five learning-skill milestones (attention span, working memory, fine motor control, decoding readiness, self-regulation) that shape lesson pacing in Classes I to V.
Distinguish intrinsic from extrinsic motivation and list four teacher moves that build intrinsic motivation in young learners.
Analyse three short classroom scenarios and label the developmental principle each one illustrates, with a one-line justification.
Your checkpoint
A one-page developmental profile template covering the four developmental domains plus a 300-word written analysis of three classroom scenarios, each labelled with the principle it illustrates.
Language and Literacy Development (Odia, English, and Early Reading/Writing)
Sequence the stages of early reading from phonological awareness through decoding to comprehension, and place each stage on the Classes I to III timeline.
Design a 10-minute daily phonics and phonological-awareness routine that fits an Odia-medium classroom.
Contrast how the Odia script (akshara structure, matras, conjunct consonants) and the English alphabet create different decoding challenges, and name one teaching adjustment for each.
Draft three activities that build oral language and vocabulary in Odia and three parallel activities in English.
Plan a writing progression from pre-writing strokes and pattern practice to dictated words and short guided sentences.
Your checkpoint
A two-week literacy block plan (Odia and English strands) with daily 10-minute phonics routines, three vocabulary activities per language, and a writing progression chart.
Mathematics and Numeracy Foundations
Map the primary numeracy progression across number sense, place value, operations, measurement, shapes, and patterns for Classes I to V.
Explain the concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract (CPA) sequence and convert three abstract problems into concrete and pictorial versions.
Design three low-cost teaching-learning materials (TLM) from local or recycled materials that teach place value, addition with regrouping, and fractions.
Identify five common misconceptions in early number work (for example, counting-all strategies, place-value confusion, treating the equals sign as 'gives the answer') and write a corrective response for each.
Write four open-ended problem tasks that invite reasoning rather than a single recalled answer.
Your checkpoint
A numeracy activity bank of 10 tasks, each tagged with class level, concept, CPA stage, materials needed, and the misconception it addresses.
Environmental Studies and Foundational Science & Classroom Management and Positive Discipline
Outline the process-skill approach in EVS (observing, classifying, measuring, predicting, inferring) and write one classroom activity for each skill.
Design two local-environment investigations using materials available in an Odisha village or town school, and state the safety precautions for each.
Compare three classroom-management models and justify which routines best suit multi-grade primary classrooms.
Draft a full positive-discipline routine set: entry, transitions, group work, and exit, with the specific teacher language used at each point.
Distinguish corrective from punitive responses to misbehaviour, and write a five-step de-escalation script for a disruptive incident.
Your checkpoint
A combined unit: two EVS investigation lesson plans plus a printed classroom-routine chart with a five-step de-escalation script for handling disruption.
Inclusive Education and Supporting Diverse Learners & Health, Safety, Nutrition, and Well-being
Explain the difference between impairment, disability, and barrier, and apply the social model of disability to two classroom cases.
Identify the early signs of common learning differences (dyslexia-type reading difficulty, dyscalculia-type number difficulty, ADHD-type attention difficulty, hearing and vision issues) and state the first classroom accommodation for each.
Adapt one standard Odia reading lesson and one standard maths lesson for three different learner needs, using the principles of universal design for learning.
Describe the legal and policy framework for inclusive education in India, including the RPwD Act 2016 and the RTE Act 2009, and state the classroom obligations that follow.
List the components of a school health and safety checklist (drinking water, toilets, handwashing, first aid, fire safety, playground supervision) and the daily nutritional needs of primary-age children.
Your checkpoint
One adapted lesson plan per subject (Odia and maths), each with three differentiated versions, plus a completed school health, safety, and nutrition checklist with at least 15 items.
Assessment, Observation, and Documentation & School-Community Partnerships and Professional Ethics
Distinguish assessment for learning from assessment of learning, and give three formative techniques usable in a 40-minute primary period.
Construct a simple observation schedule and an anecdotal record format, then practise writing three non-judgemental observation notes.
Design a portfolio structure and a reporting format that communicates progress to parents without ranking children.
Draft a parent-teacher meeting agenda that covers learning progress, attendance, health, and home support.
Apply the professional code of conduct to three ethical dilemmas (confidentiality, corporal punishment, gifts or favouritism) and state the correct course of action for each.
Your checkpoint
An assessment toolkit containing one observation schedule, one anecdotal record template, one portfolio checklist, and one parent-meeting agenda, plus written responses to the three ethical dilemmas.
Information and Communication Technology in Primary Classrooms & Child Development and Learning in the Primary Years & Language and Literacy Development (Odia, English, and Early Reading/Writing)
Evaluate three free digital resources (for example, DIKSHA, a phonics app, an offline story library) against criteria of curriculum fit, language, accessibility, and data safety.
Design one blended lesson per subject area (literacy and numeracy) that integrates a digital component without exceeding available devices.
Explain how to use ICT for assessment and record-keeping while protecting student data and following child-safety rules for online content.
Revisit the developmental milestones from Week 1 and revise your earlier scenario analyses in light of new learning.
Revisit the literacy progression from Week 2 and identify any gaps in your two-week block plan, then revise it.
Your checkpoint
Two blended lesson plans (one literacy, one numeracy) with a written ICT resource evaluation, plus a marked-up revision of the Week 1 and Week 2 deliverables.
Child Development and Learning in the Primary Years & Language and Literacy Development (Odia, English, and Early Reading/Writing) & Mathematics and Numeracy Foundations & Environmental Studies and Foundational Science & Classroom Management and Positive Discipline & Inclusive Education and Supporting Diverse Learners & Assessment, Observation, and Documentation & Health, Safety, Nutrition, and Well-being & School-Community Partnerships and Professional Ethics & Information and Communication Technology in Primary Classrooms
Consolidate all domain notes into a single revision sheet that maps each domain to its key concepts and classroom applications.
Complete two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and score them against the official weighting of each domain.
Analyse mock-test errors by domain, and re-study the two weakest domains until you can explain the underlying concept without notes.
Rehearse written answers to scenario-based questions in each of the three heaviest domains (1, 2, 3) within time limits.
Assemble the final portfolio of all weekly deliverables and self-assess it against the exam syllabus.
Your checkpoint
A complete revision sheet, two scored mock tests with a written error analysis, and a bound portfolio of all eight weekly deliverables with a one-page self-assessment.

Week 4: Scores at least 70% on a self-made 30-question test covering Domains 1 to 3, and has completed the numeracy activity bank, EVS investigations, and routine chart.
Week 6: Has completed the adapted lesson plans, health and safety checklist, and assessment toolkit, and can describe the RPwD and RTE obligations for inclusive classrooms from memory.
Week 8: Scores at least 75% on both timed mock tests, with no domain below 60%, and has submitted the full bound portfolio with self-assessment.
