Teaching is a fascinating job. So many things to explore and learn every day a new take away from the class each day, many perspectives and new ideas which makes me surprised and gives a new insight to think out of the box .
I feel a good teacher is a best communicator .The teacher who is able to make the lesson full of curiosity where she allows the class inquiry to be driven by the students has the best communication skill. The one who thinks about I am the guide and the facilitators instead of a teacher who teaches .The teacher which allows the exploration and learning to happen has the best learning opportunity for her students.
We teachers are called as the potters who shape the students and create different profession of the society.
I would like to share an example of one of my class where it was like the material is laid out and students are exploring by touch and feel and the conclusion of the touch and feel activity completed my topic. The lesson was about solid, liquid and gases where students acted as solid, liquid and gases particles. And later with the help of different materials students quickly understood the boiling, melting and freezing points and so on…. I feel a kinesthetic and practical learning which is exploring, analysis, synthesis, sort get the lifelong learning.
And as a teacher what we want is our students should be the lifelong learners for that we need to be on our toes have a good gel with the technology and make a class a fun learning
I would like to give a big thank you to my mentor Mrs.Shanaz Ma’am who is like a Mentos, so supportive and full of ideas “jo hamare Dimag Ki Batti Jala Deti he “ and allows us to make each lesson a memorable for the kids.
