Q:  " Manipulative report cards--Malpractice to retain admissions " ASHOK KUMAR-UNV "why so called branded schools , after charging fee since 12 years, suddenly told parents in classes 9 and 11 that we can't continue with your child in board classes. This is the case of malpractices in education by preparing manipulative report cards to please parents in home exams till class 8, this starts from very begining when teacher practice worksheet with students and take test, obviously they scored 20/20in all UT's, parents starts ignoring the weakness and schools happy with retaining students with them. In some cases parents know that their child doesn't deserve full Marks but they happy to see the report card. This game of 20/20 is promoting rote learning, parents and teachers should be honest to each other and dare to share the TRUTH with each other. Please save these children from rat race. __________________________________ ◼Solution to the a...

PreschoolCircle Time: A Catalyst for Creativity Preschool education is the most beautiful lifetime gift a parent can give to his child as these elementary years is the critical period for setting the foundations of learning. Evidences show that high-quality preschool experiences can build dialogue skills both speaking & listening, numeracy skills, scientific temperament and environmental stewardship, all of which support later academic success. In addition, preschool can help children develop key socio-emotional skills regarding self-regulation and interpersonal interaction.  Best practices adopted in preschool helps a child to bloom well in a tension free environment as well as generate thrust and love for learning at early years in a child. One of the best practices is Preschool Circle Time. Circle Time is a developmentally appropriate practice for preschoolers to get a sense of community with other kids of their age. Circle Time blends enjoyment with fruitful lea...

Trash to Treasure

Image
Trash to Treasure When our house is untidy, we clean it. When our body is dirty, we wash it. Even when we get an e-mail that is no longer useful to us, we delete it. It is a basic human instinct to discard waste. Feelings of bitterness, hatred, anger and regret are not only useless, but they are also harmful to us. If left unattended, just like trash, they will rot, turn venomous and become hazardous to our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Keeping the same in mind let us start with the future of nation i.e. our little ones. Life skills is a mandatory subject in schools that focuses on various values of life. Our objective should not be confined to the teaching of the prescribed syllabus given in the books, but to inculcate those values in the students. Kindness, Politeness, Courtesy, Empathy, Compassion and Forgiveness should not be neglected. As the students are exposed to various negative values in our society, so it’s the ethical duty of teachers alo...

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP SATISFIES THE STAKEHOLDERS.

Image
SUCCESSFUL STRATEGICLEADERSHIP SATISFIES THE STAKEHOLDERS. Effective education leadership makes a difference in improving learning. There’s no thing new or especially controversial about that idea. What’s far less clear, even after several decades of school renewal efforts, is just how leadership matters, how important those effects are in promoting the learning of all children, and what the essential ingredients of successful leadership are. Lacking solid evidence to answer these questions, those who have sought to make the case for greater attention and investment in leadership as a path way for large-scale education improvement have had to rely more on faith than fact Especially for struggling students, smaller schools increase the chances of their attendance and schoolwork being monitored. Smaller schools also increase the likelihood of students having a close, ongoing relationship with at least one other significant adult in the school, an important antidote to dropping ...

Help child to develop

With information on the click of a button, where there are filters but no awareness available, the role of a teacher has undergone a phenomenal change. They are not just the ones who are to focus an academic inputs but have to grow as a strong support system to hold the child firmly and help him grow morally. The inappropriate content which is not age specific is bringing with it a sea of responsibility With educators, but are we ready for it? Probably this IT smart generation needs a lot more from the teachers as compared to yester years with every generation having its own cognitive interests and skills and the gap ever widening as of now. The pre-service curriculum as what they are equipping our educators with are just few skills which are either getting outdated or are out of place. With the students becoming smart, the educators need to be smarter. The focus on interpersonal and intrapersonal skills are the need of the hour . The teachers as facilitators are to help t...

Mob lynching or the shamelessly inhumane

Mob lynching or the shamelessly inhumane It's quite haunting and the gloomy side of beautiful life the God has ever gifted to us.I don't know how many of you are affected but the souls are shaking on hearing the day to day news of mob lynching. How can a human being be too  brutal to keep on bashing the other being with a rod until death and that too on the context of menial theft or to say louder the name of one lord . Its entirely indigestible as every soul on the earth has equal right to survive in its own way even if he or she follows any religion or not because life is not the gift of religion but we are the producers of religion and finally god is one Sbka Malik ek hai the version of Saint's own saying clarifies but we are the devils under the mask of creatures created by God -the so called most beautiful and sophisticated man where we have made our notions of God and fixed HIS identity with our belief system.I call upon we are Indians and that is the re...

Learning-To-Learn: The Imperative Skill for Future

Image
Learning-To-Learn: The Imperative Skill for Future Learning to Earn is a very common phrase which we have heard in the era of 19th century but the changes as well as transformations in every field has made this phrase out dated. But, for me, it needs to be altered and the word EARN should be replaced by LEARN. Hence now it is the need of the hour to call it as learning to learn rather learning to earn. Learning to learn is the most essential skill for future. If you know how to learn then that will surely guide you towards how to earn and prosper better in life. In this 21st century era we need to be updated about the latest happenings & developments around us. To synchronize ourselves with latest changes & developments, first of all we must be open to unlearn the learnt and relearn the new. Continuous learning is the key to a healthy mind. A person who does not know how to learn, unlearn, and relearn are the actual illiterates of the future. To quote Alvin Toffl...

How to Prevent & React to Discipline Problems

Image
How to Prevent & React to Discipline Problems By Dr Raghvendra Kumar Dwivedi Principal , DLMIA VIDYA MANDIR RAJGANGPUR Student behavior problems may be the single biggest reason teachers get stressed and leave the teaching profession. Too often, teacher preparatory programs send smart, qualified teachers into classrooms with little or no skills for handling behavior disasters. Student teaching may prepare teachers for real-life teaching, but more often than not, the student teaching environment may not represent the actual teaching placement. Every student is unique, and that means every class is its own dynamic. Throughout the year, students have experiences with you or their peers that may trigger behaviors and make conducting class seem impossible. If you feel overwhelmed, it’s time to step back and take a hard look at your approach to behavior. Two Key Strategies There are two main strategies teachers need to maintain order in class. 1. Proactive approach to d...
