REOPENING THE SCHOOL- SOME SUGGESTIONS (Suggestions via- IIEP

REOPENING THE SCHOOL- SOME SUGGESTIONS (Suggestions via- IIEP_UNESCO):

- The COVID19 pandemic has led to another crisis of reasonable ideas in order to resolve all sorts of emerging issues in front. Educational plannings in times of crisis seem to be another challenge because of the judgmental dilemma about the importance of education as well as health.

However, focusing on balancing the importance of both the aspects- education and health is focal. What and how implementable plannings could be done is the big question to be responded by most of the concerned authorities and stakeholders. Currently, school founders, principals, administrators and concerned heads are considering many ways to win this situation.

There are very key areas which the school leaders should consider- Finance, Infrastructure and Human resources. Here we are discussing some ideas and suggestions that have been addressed regarding the reopening of the schools (Please refer the full resource from UNESCO at the end of this article).

1. Finance: The financial factor is going to be a fundamental aspect when schools are reopened during the times of crisis. Because the budget system would impact more than actual activities as the pandemic has already impacted badly in Socio-economic. Family economic must be boosted up as parental involvement must be far more high than usual with school reopening plannings.

2. Infrastructure: The existing infrastructure would not be much support for the reopening of the schools during this disastrous period. Safety measures, to be prioritised. The schools might also look at diversifying the funds into ICT in education (Information, Communication and Technology).

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is the mode of education that use the information and communications technology to support, enhance, and optimise the delivery of information. Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods (Source).

3. Human resources: This is another important factor to be looked at. Human resource management in a proper manner in terms of deployment of the teachers and stakeholders based on the issues and challenges demographically would help in the proper functioning of school reopening.

How does too much nagging effect children:

- Imagine an 8-year-old girl named Lily is getting ready for school. Her mom is constantly reminding her: "Lily, have you brushed your teeth yet?" "Did you pack your lunch? Don't forget your water bottle!" "Hurry up, we're going to be late! Put on your shoes!" "Don't forget your homework!" Lily, feeling overwhelmed and rushed, may: Become distracted: Forget what she was supposed to do and lose focus. Feel anxious: Start to worry about making mistakes and disappointing her mom. Resist and argue: Refuse to do things quickly, leading to a power struggle. Feel overwhelmed: Feel like she can't do anything right and lose confidence in her ability to get ready for school. This constant pressure can make getting ready for school a stressful experience for Lily. Instead of nagging, her mom could try a more supportive approach, such as: Creating a visual checklist: Help Lily create a checklist of things she needs to do in the morning,...

The challenges children face at school which all the teachers and parents should know:

- Teachers and the parents play a very crucial and key role in children’s life and accordingly they shape the child’s career too. Teachers and parents have a unique understanding of the challenges faced by children due to their close and consistent interaction with them. Teachers spend significant time observing children in a structured learning environment.

They observe their children's behavior, emotions, and social interactions closely, providing valuable insights into their challenges. The teachers and the parents can help a child to a very large extent in terms of academic, social and other needs. Thus teachers and parents should unde...

Cultivating Critical Thinkers: The Role of Rhetoric in Education:

How will you communicate to them so that he is convinced by your words and presentation. Here comes a skill called ‘Rhetoric’. Rhetoric is a valuable skill in all aspects of life, from everyday conversations to public speaking and writing. It helps us to communicate effectively, build relationships, and make a difference in the world. The earliest recorded study of rhetoric can be traced to ancient Greece, particularly in the city of Athens during the 5th century BCE. With the rise of democracy, the ability to persuade through speech became crucial for political participation and public debate. Aristotle, the philosopher and scientist, made significant contributions to the study of rhetoric with his work "The Art of Rhetoric." He analyzed the elements of persuasive speech, including: ethos (speaker credibility), pathos (appeali...

How to develop responsibility in children aged 6 years old:

- Developing responsibility in children is crucial for their overall growth and well-being. Responsibility fosters essential character traits like self-discipline, self-reliance, and accountability. It helps children understand the consequences of their actions and the importance of fulfilling commitments. In the real world, individuals need to be responsible for their studies, careers, finances, and relationships. Fostering a sense of responsibility in childhood prepares them for the challenges and responsibilities of adulthood. Here are some effective strategies: 1.

The qualities of a teacher:

- _The Modern Definition of a Teacher_ When we think of a teacher, most of us imagine someone who teaches us academic subjects. This traditional definition is not incorrect, but it doesn't fully capture the essence of what a teacher truly is in today's world. A modern teacher is much more than an instructor; a teacher is a motivator. If a teacher does not inspire and motivate their students, they are not fulfilling their true role. Teaching, explaining, and conveying information is important, but the primary task is to create a spark in the minds and hearts of students. In developed countries, becoming a teacher requires obtaining a teaching license. Before this license is granted, six major qualities are evaluated: **1. Subject Mastery:** A good teacher must have a strong command over their subject. However, it's not enough to merely possess knowledge; in developed countries, teachers are also evaluated on how updated and relevant their knowledge is. Continuous learning a...

OUR ROLE AS PARENTS:

- We know that today's children are tomorrow's citizens. How do we develop the young citizens. How can they become the productive contributors for the family as well as the society. The parenting is a multi dimensional approach. It involves emotional, physical, moral, spritual, and cognitive aspects of the child. Good parenting involves a style that considers children's age and stage of development. Good parenting involves a great deal of consistency and routine, which gives children a sense of control. A good parent , often does their best to teach their child how to live life to the fullest. Bad parenting is a series of actions that can seriously harm the child's demeanour and psychology. Bad parenting isn't restricted to a single act; it is a collection of these acts that are usually what contributes to a harmful effect on the child. Thus every intention, and action of a parent impacts children. Below we have brought a collection of day to day child's an...
