#EducationForAll- Simplifying online education:

- (Don’t forget to watch an amazing video at the end of the publication)

When we hear the word ‘Online Education’, what does come to our mind? Smartphone, laptop, Zoom, Meet, Webex, Teams etc. etc. and whatnot. Are these only sources of online reach for the children’s education? The life is easy, it’s how we perceive it makes it harder.

Today we are struck with a global pandemic, because of which our priorities have reorganised. The way we were educating until now is taking different turns. The classrooms are being made virtual, replacing blackboard and chalk. And there are few schools who have decided to completely shut down the teaching and learning until the things are back to normal. As we said in our previous articles, now it’s going to be ‘New Normal’.

Currently, our focus is on reaching parents and children through smartphone or laptop. But believe me, we cannot reach 100% of the population with these hi-tech facilities. What about the parents who do not have an ever active SIM card, or who are with only a basic mobile phone.

If we have a will and intention, we can do an all-inclusive education just with a basic mobile phone of parents. These kinds of children's learning and platform can be our 'Plan B'.

In this publication, we are presenting to you an advertisement from the 'Idea' telecom company, which did telecast this advertisement way back in the year 2008. I feel proud that the people behind the advertisement script did get this idea of reaching children even in the remotest part of the country. And this advertisement clearly shows what an energetic educator and a true teacher can do to educate each child. #EducationForAll, AllForEducation

Instead of explaining everything over here, we would like you to explore a 2-minute advertisement, I challenge you that as a school stakeholder you will infuse confidence within you with the power of unlimited. Don’t cry, this video might get you emotional.

Kya Idea Sir Ji…

Involve parents, carers and families for school success:

Work with parents/carers and families can add strength and depth, and has been shown to have a significant impact in making approaches and specific interventions more effective, both by helping family life reinforce the messages of the school and through helping parents and carers develop their own parenting skills and attitudes. The school has an important part to play in supporting the kind of parenting and family life that boosts well-being. This can be done informally, through conversation with individual parents and carers, or more formally through presentations at parents’ evenings, printed information, parenting education courses, and designated family link workers. Parents and carers who may not have had a positive experience of parenting themselves may need particular help to respond to their children’s behaviour in emotionally literate ways, to spend quality time with their children, to focus on their children’s strengths, to listen, empathise and understand the causes

Teacher encourages 6th class dropout, later on that student establishes a successful food company:

- A boy fails in 6th standard and drops out of school. After being concerned of a student dropping out of school, a teacher encourages that child to join back the school. Later on this boy in his career develops a food business and delivers his success story at Harvard University. Today the company which he developed is know as 'iD fresh food'. As of 2021 the company is valued at ₹2,000 Crore. After failing in Class 6 he joined his father on the farm. He said in one of the interview, "We barely earned ₹10 in daily wages. Eating three meals a day was a distant dream. I'd tell myself, 'Right now, food is more important than education',". Many successful people are those who come out of hardship and struggle in their venture and later on this struggle gives them motivation to achieve in life. These people are ready to take risks in life, as they have already lived 'out of their comfort zone'. This story also highlights the value of a teacher who was

CBSE manual for mental health and wellbeing:

- Children's success in school and life is directly linked to their mental health. Many of us either do not understand the connection or just ignore it. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. There is a very crucial need to understand this area of children at school. This is a manual (See at the end) published by CBSE board, which lays down perspectives on MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING. The 21st century emerging challenges have necessitated that the schools also shift the focus to the psychosocial needs of students and take care of the overall wellbeing. The schools should take actions and adopt strategies for identification and prevention of various mental health and wellbeing needs, which would create safe school environment. The priority in schools should mainly be about early identification at the individual and systemic level. This document attempts to align the role and import

5 points - Better teacher collaboration and better school outcomes:

- Collaboration means collective efforts to achieve shared belief and common outcome. Collaborative efforts are essential, particularly when the focus is on progress and development. Below are the 5 points why collaboration is key at school: 1. The collaboration between the teachers is key for academic development and progress at school. Working together can lead to the exchange of valuable teaching methods and intellectual insights, but these advantages are often overlooked amid busy schedules. 2. Teachers have usually a very packed schedule. Teachers often face challenges when it comes to collaboration due to packed schedules filled with specific duties and fixed periods, making it difficult to find the time for deeper planning and individual student assessments. 3. The education of teachers in teaching techniques and methodologies and child development is very very important. Poor educational backgrounds, particularly among non-B.Ed. teachers in private schools can further hind

10 key points for parents for children’s educational success:

When parents are involved, children are more likely to feel connected to their school and their learning. Below are 10 points: 1. Parents must adopt a more proactive approach to their children's education and upbringing than ever before. 2. At home, parents should facilitate meaningful engagement with children in quest (journey) for learning. 3. The parents should develop a collaborative and open communication environment at home. 4. Parents should be informed about teachers' ongoing instructions and assigned homework/activities. 5. Parents should attend all the meetings, orientation and events organised at school. 6. Parents should have full awareness of their children's educational activities at home and school. 7. Parents should show consistent interest and care towards children’s academic lear

School meal programs are linked with improvements in the classroom:

- > A school meal (whether it is a breakfast, lunch, or evening meal) is a meal provided to students and sometimes teachers at a school , typically in the middle or beginning of the school day. Countries around the world offer various kinds of school meal programs , and altogether, these are among the world's largest social safety nets . > Providing students with breakfast in the classroom is associated with lower rates of tardiness, fewer disciplinary office referrals, improved attendance rates, and improved math and reading achievement test scores. > A considerable body of evidence shows that the school meals programs are profoundly important for students, especially low-income students, with well- documented benefits. > School meals support good nutrition throughout the school day. Program participants are less likely to have nutrient inadequacies and are more likely to consume fruits, vegetables, and milk at breakfast and lunch. “ The exposure to healthi

What if somebody labelled you a 'Slow Learner':

- You will realise many aspects after reading this. *How to remove ur label given by others*?(Overcoming blindspots) Worth reading... I sat in my chair quietly next to my Mom & Dad as my grade 4 teacher gave them an update on my progress at school. “your child is a slow learner” said the school teacher quietly. I held my breath & sank a little lower into my chair. I looked up at my dad to see if he was in trouble. My father glanced down, smiled & gave me a quick wink. On the way home from the Parent-Teacher meeting, I thought about what Mrs. Shastri had called me – ‘Slow Learner’. Deep down I knew that what she really meant was that I was dumb. Later that evening, my Mom & Dad came into my room carrying a piece of paper & a pen. They sat down on the side of the bed & said, “Want to talk to you about what Mrs. Shastri said today.” “A Slow Learner” I replied. I had already taken the words to heart. “That’s right” said my dad as my mother wrote the words ‘Slow L
