Esperienze

It is rightly said "To teach is to learn twice over". I've been teaching for 25 years and there has never been a day I haven't learnt something new. Teaching is not just a job for me, it is what defines me. It gives me a purpose. We often complain about how terrorism can't be fought or how some educated people throw garbage or how kids are becoming lazy in a tech world and the list goes on. It is always easier said than done. Teaching gives me the power to shape our youth into becoming a good person as in the end that is what matters the most.
It's been a year I have been working in this school, the experience and exposure I got here is exceptional.  Experience always changes with the schools we teach, but the one I am having here is having a huge impact on my confidence. Colleagues here are positive competitors and good personal friends. This environment is best suited to grow as a person and individual. Freedom I get here in the process of teaching helps me to give an extra bit of effort to share the knowledge in the way I was exposed to the same.
Knowledge is most certainly power. Power to bring a change in your and others' life and I am fortunate enough to have this power. This profession brings a sense of contentment. Not only do I get to share my knowledge with students, I also get to be a mother like figure for all of them and it is the greatest feeling a woman can ever have.
It’s been a joyful journey here and I am looking forward to coming many more years here.

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...

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
