2.1 Develop the natural learning process
Based on the unique learning style each child has a natural learning process. The basic object of any learning program should be to develop this natural learning process. Seven Core Creative Competencies have been identified whose development may lead to development of natural learning process.

2.2 Develop core creative learning competencies
In order to bring out the inherent creative potential APCL has identified seven Core Creative Competencies (C3) which are essential in any natural process of learning:

Power of Observation
 Concentration
 Memory
 
Thinking
 Imagination
 Power of Expression/Communication
 
Emotional Control
 
These competencies are the base of any creative learning process. As these competencies are related to the natural process of learning, their efficient use may make a person most creative. Activities have been designed to develop these Core Creative Competencies. All subjects presently being taught in the schools are taught in such a way that they develop these C3. During the course of development of these competencies the text materials developed to transact CBSE syllabi are used so that learners may not have any difficulty in learning at higher level. In this process traditional learning practices of our indigenous system are also used.

2.3 Learn and master the symbolic method of learning
Each intelligence method has a set of symbols and patterns, which help us in learning through a particular mode of intelligence. For example, the verbal intelligence use words as symbols, spatial intelligence use pictures as symbols, and so on. It would be important to learn the symbols of various intelligence and the art of their arrangement in patterns for effective communication.

2.4 Learn the art of learning
APCL believes that teaching is effective only if it leads to self-learning. Children should be given opportunity to master the art of learning. This way they would be able to utilize entire time available at their disposal right from cradle to grave. It believes that a school should prepare the learners for this onward march on the path of learning. For this purpose APCL believes that :

Every occasion is a learning occasion.

Every person, animate and inanimate object in the world is a learning object, learning facilitator and learner.

In this sense APCL believes in working towards the formation of a Learning Society.

2.5 Lessen individual competition and promote group competition
As individual competition has led to feeling of success to a few and failure to maximum people, more and more group activities and group competition should be organized at the school. As managerial skills are going to be important, managerial skills should also be taught from early classes in the forms of games and activities. They have also been linked with the evaluation methods to bring seriousness.

2.6 Develop creativity through games
Games basically provide a good opportunity to perform an activity in an atmosphere of joy. It is always played in a joyful atmosphere. Although seriousness is introduced by introducing competitive elements into games; however, joyfulness is never allowed to be lost. When children play games, they have to continuously face new situations. As such they also get an exposure of handling new situations. This way it facilitates development of creativity in children.

Games basically serve various purposes:

Learning to experiment, explore and discover

Learning to play together and cooperate

Learning to use their own hands and other loco-motor system

Learning to use one''s imagination and memory in a creative way

Learning to live with successes and failures in right spirit

Learning to be self-confident and self-reliant

Learning to handle emotions and relationship in a better way

Now, as children love playing games, it would be better to design activities in the form of games. In this connection, it would be important to note that children in different age groups like to play different types of games. Initially, children love any kind of kinesthetic activity. If a small child is asked to run and count the number of trees in garden, he will perform the task with great happiness. He will consider it to be a fun. But, if grown older, he may not like such running around, but he may love games dodging other children. He may love to solve mysteries. The nature of games may change, but still love for games is never dwindled. Children never get tired of games. So, to attain creative flow, activities in the form of games are the best forums for learning. All activities have been converted into this mode as far as possible without sacrificing the real content of learning.

2.7 Develop mental image making
Based on Yogic methods of learning, APCL has developed unique Visualization exercises to develop processes of Mental Image Making. These exercises help learners to develop power of concentration, memory and imagination. It further helps them to have better emotional control, which is now considered to be so vital for achieving success in life.

2.8 Learn the art of questioning
Inquisitiveness and curiosity holds the key to creative learning. Curiosity is basically a self-propelling lubricant, which keeps on inducing a person towards self-learning. A child is by birth inquisitive. This curiosity has to be sustained. Mihali Csikszentmihalyi has suggested an interesting curiosity development plan. APCL has found that learning the art of questioning may provide a forum to such curiosity development plan. APCL believes that it is not only important to know the art of answering (as is being done in the normal schools today), it is rather more important to master the art of questioning. Questioning guides the path of thinking- both convergent and divergent and thus gives direction to curiosity. Therefore, the school teaches art of Questioning and evaluates the growth in it.

2.9 Manage emotions
Learning can be best, if they can be linked with their emotions. Hence, activities are linked with the emotions of learners and are performed in a festive mood. For this purpose traditional games played in different parts of world have been studied and the lessons have been linked with them. Different activities have been linked with the traditional festivals. A well-defined plan is followed to teach emotional management to the learner. Entire environment in the school is kept informal. Learners address teachers and other staff as uncle/ auntie. Creative excellence can be attained only in an atmosphere of total freedom.

2.10 Activity based learning
As the learning through activities is most durable, APCL has evolved a system of learning, which involves learning through different kinds of activities involving:

Books
 Physical activities
 Games
 Stories
 
Projects
 Pictures
 Rhymes & Music
 Role Play
 
Exhibitions
 Computers
 Discussions
 Debate
 
Children Parliament
 Excursions
 
Although books are important agents for transfer of knowledge, they are not taken to be the only agents of such transfer. Other materials are also used properly to ignite the flare of learning. Investigative methods are be used to promote inquisitiveness. Even Science and Mathematics are taught through activities involving joy and exploration

2.11 Make creativity a habit

APCL CHARTER
It is said that a child is born creative, but he remains creative till he goes to school. There is a natural tendency of every child to explore nature, try out innovations and work for a personalized solution. But in the school this tendency is not encouraged. In the rote learning system a child is expected to learn whatever is taught in the class and reproduce them whenever he is asked to do so. This kills the natural creative instinct. APCL tries to sustain the creative spirit through various well thought-out activities. Learners are expected to be engaged in their creative pursuit by designing new games, toys, and items from day-to-day waste. Learners are also expected to compose/write poems, stories, etc. right from Std. I. They are also be expected to design and construct new items of their aptitude in every term. The skill of creativity and innovation forms an important competency for monitoring and evaluation.

Creative Teaching/Learning Methodology requires development of competency where creativity can become a habit. For this purpose APCL has adopted a program called APCL Charter to inculcate the habit of creativity.

2.12 Learn the art of management
In the new millenium every person has to be a manager. Be it a family management, social function management, or business and industry management, all require high level of competence and professionalism. Hence, managerial ability is required to be developed right from primary classes. APCL has developed unique package of activities based on traditional cultural practices to develop managerial abilities and monitors the development on regular basis.
