Understanding Assessment and Evaluation at classroom:

 - The purpose of a teacher and education system is to, 'motivate the weak, to address the average, and challenge the gifted'. Every teacher and parent has to continuosly understand the child's holistic development and performance at school and at home, that's where assessment is a useful thing. Currently there is very less awareness of assessment method, and most of them are  using evaluation method at school/classroom. What is assessment? Assessment can be defined as, a methodical way of acquiring, reviewing and using information about someone or something, so as to make improvement where necessary. And evaluation is derived from the word ‘value’ which refers to ‘usefulness of something’. Therefore, evaluation is an examination of something to measure its utility. Currently many schools are using evaluation method without giving much importance to assessment method. Below we are discussing about the basic difference between assessment and evaluation: The basic

It's the time for us to rethink education:

-  All the trees are of same height. All the cars going at a time at a speed of 80 kms/hr. All the students eating same quantity of food at a given time. All the fishes are of same length and weight. All the students wearing sweater on a given day. All the trees' leafs are of green colour. All the mangoes are of same taste. All the clothes are of white colour. The entire earth's soil is of same quality. All the rocks are of black colour. All the lights are yellow colour. The entire water is sugar. All the chalks are white. If all the above is not possible, similarly below is also not appropriate. All the students getting 1st rank. All the students enjoying all subjects. All the students learning things at same pace. All the students learning through same teaching style. All the students showing same interest at a given time. All the students becoming high level intellectuals.  We can't expect students to perform at a same level, as their IQ, Genetics, Environment, etc also

Lessor know facts about India during Mughal rule:

-  By the 1700 CE, the GDP of Mughal India had risen to 24 per cent of the world economy, the largest in the world. - Till 1750, India produced about 25 per cent of the world's industrial output, and key industries included textiles, shipbuilding, and steel. - Mughals built an extensive road system, which was vital to the economic infrastructure. The Mughals set up a public works department which designed, constructed and maintained roads linking towns and cities across the empire, making trade easier to conduct. - India's economy was apparently better than that of the entire Europe. And all of that happened during the Mughal rule in India. - When it came to coin designs and minting techniques, Mughal coinage showed originality and innovative skills. - The Mughal rulers introduced agrarian reforms and funded the building of irrigation systems across the empire, which produced much higher crop yields and increased the net revenue base, leading to increased agricultural productio

Once my Dad took a glance of my school marks card:

 If you are a Parent... Please don't ever make your Child feel depressed like this.  During my School Days, I came home with the Mark Sheet showing 90 marks scored by me in an exam, hoping to get compliments from my Dad.  However, once my Dad took a glance of it, he said I added the 0 on the Mark Sheet to make it 90 and beat me a lot.  I told him honestly that I didn't add the 0 but he wouldn't believe me.  I felt so depressed that my Dad did not believe me that I did not add the 0 .... and till date don't know why my Dad kept saying I added the 0. Actually I added the 9! 😂 Source: received through WhatsApp message

Why it’s important for parents to give time to their teenage children:

-   Parents and children share unconditional care and support with each other. This is a natural god-created relationship. Parents and children both have expectations from each other, in terms of communication, discipline, care and helping hand.   A teenager is a growing child which is the age category between 13 to 18 years . Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years.   It is important to remember that teenagers are just like you and me. They want to know what they want, they want to know what they are doing, and they want to be able to take decisions on their own terms. They are not an exception to the rule; there is no reason why they should not have the same rights as you or me. But there might be a few things in which children should take approval from parents, otherwise they might take an unsafe decision.   Parents should not be stressed out during parenting:   It is important that parents give their children the time and attention they need. Res

What can my child study other than engineering degree:

Very Thoughtful advice... Just because I am holding a senior position in HR, I have been getting many requests from my relatives, friends, acquaintances, to help their sons or daughters, who have freshly passed out from engineering college, to get job in my company. The number of requests are huge. So many fresh engineers are unemployed, I could hardly helped only few of them to get job in my very successful company or in some other companies where I have contacts. I feel bad to say NO to many of the requests or for those whom I can't help. They get disappointed... I can understand. Parents invest their life time earned money just to see their sons or daughters getting degree in engineering. They think that jobs are easily available for engineers. After interviewing many of them, I can't even tell them that your son or daughter do not even have minimum required technical knowledge. Getting first class or distinction has become so easy without having fundamental knowledge of e

School Operations Manual:

- A school is a complex organization where multiple activities should co-ordinate in sync. Each stake holder - Management, Teacher, Students, Parents and supportive staff, everyone has an important role to play. All these stake holders need to know their job, roles and responsibilities, and also the structure, policy and procedure of their work. Thus a team has come up with a 'school operations manual' to support schools in designing their school policies and procedures, which will help to strengthen the school system.  This manual outlines the significant policies and procedures covering a wide spectrum of activities in a school, starting from affiliation, curriculum planning, extra-curricular activities, value education, school administration, statutory compliances, HR, etc.  The core objective of this manual is to communicate, describe and help in implementing the best practices, policies and procedures so as to bring standardisation in our schools through collaboration.

General information - Maths formula, abbreviations etc

 - Maths Formulas: 1. (α+в)²= α²+2αв+в² 2. (α+в)²= (α-в)²+4αв 3. (α-в)²= α²-2αв+в² 4. (α-в)²= (α+в)²-4αв 5. α² + в²= (α+в)² - 2αв. 6. α² + в²= (α-в)² + 2αв. 7. α²-в² =(α + в)(α - в) 8. 2(α² + в²) = (α+ в)² + (α - в)² 9. 4αв = (α + в)² -(α-в)² 10. αв ={(α+в)/2}²-{(α-в)/2}² 11. (α + в + ¢)² = α² + в² + ¢² + 2(αв + в¢ + ¢α) 12. (α + в)³ = α³ + 3α²в + 3αв² + в³ 13. (α + в)³ = α³ + в³ + 3αв(α + в) 14. (α-в)³=α³-3α²в+3αв²-в³ 15. α³ + в³ = (α + в) (α² -αв + в²) 16. α³ + в³ = (α+ в)³ -3αв(α+ в) 17. α³ -в³ = (α -в) (α² + αв + в²) 18. α³ -в³ = (α-в)³ + 3αв(α-в) ѕιη0° =0 ѕιη30° = 1/2 ѕιη45° = 1/√2 ѕιη60° = √3/2 ѕιη90° = 1 ¢σѕ ιѕ σρρσѕιтє σƒ ѕιη тαη0° = 0 тαη30° = 1/√3 тαη45° = 1 тαη60° = √3 тαη90° = ∞ ¢σт ιѕ σρρσѕιтє σƒ тαη ѕє¢0° = 1 ѕє¢30° = 2/√3 ѕє¢45° = √2 ѕє¢60° = 2 ѕє¢90° = ∞ ¢σѕє¢ ιѕ σρρσѕιтє σƒ ѕє¢ 2ѕιηα¢σѕв=ѕιη(α+в)+ѕιη(α-в) 2¢σѕαѕιηв=ѕιη(α+в)-ѕιη(α-в) 2¢σѕα¢σѕв=¢σѕ(α+в)+¢σѕ(α-в) 2ѕιηαѕιηв=¢σѕ(α-в)-¢σѕ(α+в) ѕιη(α+в)=ѕιηα ¢σѕв+ ¢σѕα ѕιηв. » ¢σѕ(α+в)=¢σѕα ¢σѕв - ѕιηα ѕιηв. » ѕιη(α-в)=ѕιηα¢σ

Why it is important to let children fail:

Did the title of the blog feel absurd? Think of your life incidence where you actually learned to ride a bicycle on the busy streets of Mumbai without any training wheels. You fell many times, skinned your knees, cut your lip and hurt your ego. But you kept getting up again and again and eventually became comfortable with pedaling. It was an unforgettable experience for you—and similarly don’t you think it’s important that children today have similar life lessons both at home and in school. We live in a culture that is focused on the success of our children: admission to the "right" schools, the best college, sports teams, and countless other extracurricular activities. All parents want their children to be successful. What we forget or do not know is, ‘failure’ is also an important part of life that helps children to do trial and error and become confident in future endeavors of life. It turns out that letting kids fail, and fail big, is the best way for them to learn. It

Fatima Sheikh- Indian educator and social reformer

Source: Google The above image is the doodle by Google on 9th January 2022.  This is the image of Fatima Sheikh. She is born on this day (9 January 1831) in Pune was an Indian educator and social reformer, who was a colleague of the social reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. When Jyotirao and Savitribai were asked to vacate their ancestral house by Jyotirao’s father – as he was angry with the reform agenda of the couple – it was Fatima and her brother Usman Sheikh who opened the doors of their house for the Phules.    She is widely considered to be India’s first Muslim woman teacher. She taught at all five schools that the Phules went on to establish and she taught children of all religions and castes. Sheikh took part in the founding of two schools in Mumbai (Then Bombay) in 1851. Click to read an article on her from theprint : Source: collected and compiled through WhatsApp
