Learning for life

Life is all about gaining knowledge. I am sure that everyone out there agrees that education is important for us to gain knowledge. But I believe that learning from our own experiences is also equally important. It makes us wise.

I have done my bachelor's in computer applications and I had always dreamt of being a part of the corporate world. But God had planned something different for me and so I landed in Oxford Public School for my first job. Since it was not something I had ever wanted, I was not very enthusiastic about my work in the initial days. It took me sometime to realize that my job was not monotonous, it had its own challenges and I could learn a lot from it. This realisation and the love and support of Oxford family made me comfortable and soon I was loving my work.

The 3 years that I have worked here have just flown away. I have gained experience, knowledge, wisdom and have created so many wonderful memories. Handing phone calls, managing visitors, coordinating one thing or the other, practicing and performing on stage on various occasions. I love everything I do at school. I am happy to be working here and I have grown as an individual.

And for all this, I have to thank Principal ma'am. Interaction with her is always an enriching experience. I remember one day in my initial days, ma'am had given me some work which I could not complete on time. She counseled me and when she understood my problem, she told me - 'Every problem is a chance'. At first I had no clue as to what she meant. How can a problem be a chance? Aren't they troubles with a capital T? But later, I realized what ma'am meant. According to her, every problem is a fresh chance to learn something new.

I am fortunate to be working at an institute which has helped me change my perspective to view things. Thank you Oxford.

My family, My Oxford

The title is indeed apt for my write up. Oxford is not just an elite school, its’ a royal family. I am extremely happy to be able to express my feelings towards my family through this blog post. The year 2007 was one of the best years of my life. It was 15 th of March when I joined Oxford Public School. First day can be frightening and I was nervous too. But the environment was so encouraging, all the educators were so dedicated towards their students. Everyone helped a new teacher like me, even the students – I was on cloud nine! Everything was so good! Continuing my journey in the school I made great friends, learned many new concepts of teaching and became part of this huge family. More importantly, Oxford became an integral part of my life. At Oxford, the students don’t just learn, they grow – mentally as well as emotionally. The senior administration including Principal Ma’am, Vice Principal Ma’am and Sudesh Ma’am have made this possible. They make sure that the educat

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

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
