Our Little Man Turns 2 Months Old!

          Our dear son, Sarvagy has reached his 2-month birthday yesterday! These past two months have been a wonderful whirlwind as we've adjusted to life as a family of three. We still remember the excitement and nervousness when we brought him home from the hospital. How tiny he looked in his car seat!           We are so amazed at how much Sarvagy has grown and changed in such a short period of time. He has developed his own little personality and seems to have new abilities each day. From lifting his head steadily, to cooing and smiling, to grasping objects with his tiny hands - we celebrate each new milestone.           While the sleepless nights can be tiring, each morning we are energized by his sweet smile and chubby cheeks when we go to get him from his crib. Our hearts melt with every little coo and gurgle he makes as he takes in the world around him with wide-eyed wonder. As first-time ...

  On this Teachers' Day, I want to share my thoughts on Teacher's Wellbeing as its an integral part of educational environment.

Investing in teachers’ wellbeing not only contributes towards improved health and wellbeing for teachers and students but also ensures learning outcomes.

PERSONALISED AND SELF-PACED LEARNING- IS THE FUTURE OF LEARNING?

Image
  PERSONALISED AND SELF-PACED LEARNING- IS THE FUTURE OF LEARNING? A student learns best when the Learning plan is based on keeping their interest in mind. The process of a teacher recognizing the strength of her/his students will help them learn faster and leave a deeper impact.     The best fallout after the COVID-19 is the adaptability of teachers to a technology driven learning platform to reach out to their students and ensure minimal learning gaps occur. This has also effectively promoted personized learning where individual pace, performance, personal development and, adaptive adjustments have played a major role. Earlier students with different learning styles and performance could marginally be addressed only through remedial classes but today technology helps the teacher to plan her/his teaching plan suiting the learner profile, competency-based progression, flexible and stress free learning environment. It has helped build learning communities of students with ...
