Snippets: - Social understanding is particularly important because of the social nature of humans and human life, even in early infancy. - Social-emotional development includes the child’s experience, expression, and management of emotions and the ability to establish positive and rewarding relationships with others. - Emotions and social behaviors affect the young child’s ability to persist in goal-oriented activity, to seek help when it is needed, and to participate in and benefit from relationships. - Since human life is relationship-based, one vitally important function of empathy over the life span is to strengthen social bonds. - Infants experience, express, and perceive emotions before they fully understand them. - Emotion and cognition work together, jointly informing the child’s impressions of situations and influencing behavior.  - Together, emotion and cognition contribute to attentional processes, decision making, and learning. - Cognitive processes, such as decisio

LSRW is the sequence of language learning. I.e. Listening Speaking Reading Writing In language learning, writing is the last skill. But in today's schools, so much stress is put on little children to write. Before writing, children should be taught to listen, speak and read (In writing, pre-writing skills starts first). Once children start listening, speaking and reading, they will be able to communicate well. Writing on paper is one of the least multisensory experiences for the child. As part of writing, most of the schools just do meaningless and mechanical copying. We need to agree that readiness varies from child to child. Click to read whole article:

Behind child's failure it's a fail and flop education system. Our children are prone to rote Learning. Rote learning is a memorization technique based on repetition. The idea is that one will be able to quickly recall the meaning of the material the more one repeats it. Our education system is stopping us just here i.e. recalling of lessons which are read. It's like we take train ticket to travel, and the real purpose is travel and not taking ticket. In a similar way, in today's education system we are just buying ticket. Ticket is memorizing and travel is application of knowledge. As per one study in India most of the engineering students are not apt to be employed.

*Laws of teaching* Be sincere… Be understanding… Be available… Don’t preach, even if it seems to be called for… Make what you’re teaching fun and interesting… Never be mean to a kid, or, an adult student, you have no idea what their life outside the classroom is like, even if they are from a rich family… Try to do some of the teaching outside the classroom to shake things up… Don't be closed minded about anything… Give other sides of every theory, if there are any. Teaching is as much about listening as constantly blathering… Some students will nod their head, saying they understand, and they probably truly think they have it, but if you listen, you will realize that they don’t have a clue yet… You can’t logically give a test, if you’ve failed to actually deliver the material in an understandable fashion… And whether you like it or not, believe it or not… Watch the moon phases, kids learn better on certain moon phases than others… Source: received from WhatsApp and ed

- The curriculum must create the best opportunities and lead to best outcomes for young people. - Any new curriculum must equip the next generation of adults for the creative, flexible, entrepreneurial and open-ended challenges that their multiple careers will throw at them. - The curriculum mustn’t be a drawing-board to indulge the whims or ambitions of adults, not even of politicians. - Meanwhile, arguments rage between adherents of a “knowledge-rich” curriculum and those who want it to be “skills-based”. - But equally vital are those other activities, often (misleadingly) called co-curricular (and, worse, extra-curricular): playing in a group, team sports or competitions, outdoor education, voluntary service. These and a host of other activities are the elements that build character, resilience, altruism, appreciation of community and social responsibility. Click to read full article from source:

What is Inquiry-based learning : “It is a student-centered approach where the instructor guides the students through questions posed, methods designed, and data interpreted by the students. Through inquiry, students actively discover information to support their investigations” ( Edutopia ). Inquiry-based learning creates excitement for learning! In this learning approach students aren’t stuck behind desks quietly answering problems from their book.  Some teachers might feel uncomfortable with inquiry-based learning as students are more in control of their learning. It is a very important skill a child learns, whereby child becomes curious learner. In inquiry-based classrooms, students are moving around, discussing situations, using materials, and solving problems Teachers can stimulate inquiry-based learning by asking a question and allowing students to build, create, discuss, draw, write or blog, present, experiment, or solve the problem employing whatever method they’re most

Nurturing, supporting and valuing teachers is vital to making teaching an attractive and rewarding career choice. Reducing teachers’ workload would reduce the numbers of teachers quitting the profession. There is a clear need to improve the working conditions of teachers, with a focus on making the teaching career more manageable and sustainable. When faced with impossible workloads, endless accountability, a testing culture run riot, and flat or underfunded pay deals year after year, it is all too common for good teachers to leave the profession. We can start cutting down the amount of unnecessary and bureaucratic workload teachers face. Click to read from source:

When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. And every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the Wall... because each time they bribed the guards & came through the doors! The Chinese built the Wall but forgot character building of the wall guards! Thus, the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else.. That's what our students need today. Like one Orientalist said:  If you want to destroy the civilization of a nation there are 3 ways: 1. Destroy the family structure. 2. Destroy education. 3. Lower their role models & references. To destroy the family: Undermine the role of Mother, so that she feels ashamed of being a housewife. To destroy education: You should give no importance to the Teacher & lower his place in Society

Many preschool and kindergarten teachers, parents have at least some point of time extremely upset— by the increased pressure on them to teach academic skills to little children and regularly test them on such skills.   Parents are facing difficulty at home in completing their child's homework. As we ourselves as children in our good old days, have experienced, that the early years of childhood always demands - Play, Play, and only Play. How about the idea of using this instinct urge of play to teach academic skills, where concepts are taught through play. In current academic focused preschools, we can see firsthand the unhappiness generated by children in order to learn academics through direct instruction. Few researches have now proved that children would be learning much more useful lessons through playing, exploring, and socializing, as they did in traditional nursery schools. Early academic training somewhat increases children’s immediate scores on the specific tests th
