कुछ अपनी बात............

शिक्षा के क्षेत्र से मेरा नाता पिछले दो दशकों से भी अधिक का है, और वर्ष-प्रतिवर्ष इस क्षेत्र की गति-विधियों, उतार-चढ़ाव से परिचित होती रही। जो समय की माँग के अनुकूल थे। जहाँ सीखने-सिखाने की प्रक्रिया एक दूसरे के सहयोग से चलती रही। इस लम्बे अन्तराल में अनेक परिवर्तन आये। पिछले कुछ दिनों से अकसर यह सुनने को मिल रहा है कि छात्र किसी की सुनता ही नहीं है। यह एक सामान्य प्रश्न हम सभी के बीच एक समस्या बनकर उभर रही है।

एक विश्लेषण के बाद मैं इस के कारण जानने की कोशिश में यह जान पायी कि एक तो बच्चे का परिवेश। जहाँ पर सभी को किसी के विचार को सुनने समझने की आदत ना हो। साथ ही बच्चे के विचारों और बातों को महत्व न देना, तथा उम्र का वह पड़ाव जहाँ बच्चा स्वयं और अपने मित्रों की ही अधिक सुनता है। इन कारणों का निवारण बड़ा आसान है। सबसे पहले तो हम अपने बच्चे पर विश्वास करें, उन्हें अवसर दें, बोलने और अपनी बात कहने का मौका और मंच दें। हाँ हो सकता है, उसके वाक्य और शब्द परिष्कृत न हो परन्तु हमें उसकी भावनाओं को समझने की कोशिश तो करनी ही चाहिए। उसकी बातों को, समस्याओं को गंभीरता से सुने, अपने प्रति विश्वास जगाये ताकि बेझिझक होकर वह अपनी बात आपसे कह सके और स्वयं को उपेक्षित महसूस न करे।

Make A Difference

My journey as an educator began 25 years ago at this very school- Oxford Public School. Teaching different grades in this awesome journey, I have developed deep appreciation and understanding for this noblest profession. Providing an environment where my students can take risk and experience authentic learning is the cornerstone of my educational philosophy. The connection between student and teacher is everything. All through these years I have been trying to repair self- efficacy of students in different subjects, especially in English. Earning trust of students is the vehicle for making the necessary adjustments to make them believe, in their ability to analyse and create their own masterpieces. 'What is best for our students?' This is the question that twirls around my mind about one hundred times a day. My job as a teacher is to make learning experience engaging, encouraging and inspiring to all learners. I teach with purpose in mind. I want school to be a f...

Thank You Note For My Beloved Principal Ma'am

You never really know someone until you understand things from their perspective; until you get into their shoes and walk around in them.  I have been very fortunate to join Oxford Public School, first as a student and then as a teacher. When I was a student, though I loved my school immensely, there were a few things I could not understand. But today, being the part of Oxford as an educator, I have understood what all this institution has been doing for 25 years now; especially principal ma'am.  Ma'am, you have helped us to open our eyes to the world, you gave us curiosity and confidence, you taught us to ask questions, you connected us to our past and future, you have never been less than a super star. You are the one who has shaped many students' lives, you are the one because of whom Oxford shines. You allowed us to be the best we could be. You touch the life of every student and make sure it is set on a constructive path. You have changed so many lives an...

Secrets of a Teacher's Ward

It has been a year I passed my 12th grade and began a new journey of my life, but the memories of Oxford Public School have not yet faded. It has been a long journey with some ups and downs, a lot many things a child experiences in his school days - bunking a class, roaming around the corridors, standing outside Principal’s office, parents being called for annual report and what not. I am pretty sure most you might have experienced all of this, but to everyone’s surprise all of this never happened with me because my mother teaches in OPS. I find this blog the right platform where I can explain how it is to be a teacher’s ward. It is definitely fun. You are neither ghar ka na ghat ka :D . Classmates see you as a potential tale-teller and teachers expect you to be a perfect student!  I always studied in the school where my mother taught and for a year she was my class teacher too. So in my 15 years of schooling, I never missed her. We literally spent 24 hours together unde...
