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।

Let's be a child again

A child, who is a new spring A child, who is full of energy A child, who has desires A child, who has immense love. Life is not a game to tame, It is to feel the pleasure Life is to do silly acts, Add to regret them. Life is to appreciate what you have, It is to cherish the beauty you have. Life is to love the people around you, Not to question the relationships with you. Life is to accept the reality. It is to express heartily. Life is to live the moment, to be around the people you love, to keep your heart out, to enjoy the beautiful time, to plead, to regret........ Life is too short to be spent in ignorance and hatred. Life is just to love and spread love..... Priya Mundra Educator, Oxford Public School

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...

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...
