Character building plan for class 5th:

- Question asked: Mujhe class 5th ke baccho ka Tarbiyat plan dijiye please. Answer by Meta AI (In WhatsApp) Aapke liye main ek tarbiyat plan suggest kar sakta hoon jo class 5th ke bacchon ke liye upyukt ho sakta hai. Sabse pehle, bacchon ko discipline aur time management ke mahatva ke baare mein samjhayein. Unhein ek routine banane mein madad karein jismein padhai, khel, aur aaram sabhi shamil hon. Iske alawa, bacchon ko saaf-safai aur swasthya ke baare mein bhi shikshit karein. Unhein apne kapdon aur juton ko saaf rakhne aur haath dhokar khane ki aadat dalen. Bacchon ko apne emotions ko control karne aur dusron ke saath accha vyavhaar karne ki shiksha bhi dein. Unhein samjhayein ki kaise apne gussa ko control karein aur dusron ki bhavnaon ka samman karein. Yeh plan aapke liye upyukt ho sakta hai, lekin yeh yaad rakhein ki har bachcha alag hota hai aur unki zarooraton ko samajhna zaroori hai. Kya aapko iske baare mein aur kuchh puchhna hai?

Developing positive relationships, social understanding and care in children:

 - Children start understanding relationship and social connections from very early age. The children aged around 2 years start connecting with their caregivers. They form strong attachments to primary caregivers (usually parents). This bond is crucial for their sense of security and trust. They can recognize and express basic emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. I remember an incidence, once I was in a family function where 4-5 of us were sitting in a corner, suddenly my 1.5 year old daughter comes with 2 sweet pieces in her hand. She directly comes to me and hands over one piece of sweet to me. At this point of time it came to my mind, how did she give that sweet piece only to me and not to others in the group which was seated. I started questioning myself how come my 1.5 year old child knows I am special to her. How children start connecting strongly to their parents. We need to make sure that we support children in understanding and developing positive relationshi...

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 ...

Parents must adopt a more proactive approach to their children's education and upbringing than ever before. 2.

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...

 - > 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.

Philipsborn's journey from Germany to India to help during setting up of Jamia University at Delhi:

 - How did a German Jew  Gerda Philipsborn  come to Delhi, India to help establish one of the top university of India ‘Jamia’. It was a place so distant and disconnected from her homeland. Philipsborn's journey from being a German   -  a European women in colonial India - to becoming Jamia's  Aapa Jaan  (which she was fondly called at the university) began in 1933 when she traveled to India. At the university Philipsborn encouraged Jamia's girls and women to play a more active role in society. When she joined the editorial team of Payam-e Ta'lim, Jamia's children's journal, she contributed articles that spotlighted the hobbies and interests of women and encouraged girls to write for the journal.  Apart from her work with the children of Jamia, Gerda also helped its founders raise funds for the university. She managed to make friends with the people of Jamia and even began teaching in the university's primary school. Like the rest of the teach...

How do you celebrate Teacher's Day in Japan?

 - In Japan, there is no Teacher's Day! One day, I asked my Japanese colleague,  teacher Yamamota:  How do you celebrate Teacher's Day in Japan?  Surprised by my question , he replied, We don't have Teacher's Day! When I heard his reply, I was not sure whether I should believe him or not.  A thought passed through my mind : " Why a country, which is so advanced in economy, sciences & technology, is so disrespectful towards teachers and their work? " Once, after work, Yamamota invited me to his house .We took the metro since it was far away. It was the evening peak hour, and the wagons in the metro train were overcrowded . I managed to find space to stand, holding tightly to the overhead rail. Suddenly, an elderly man who was seated beside me offered me his seat. Not understanding this respectful behaviour of an elderly man, I declined, but he was persistent, and I was forced to sit.  Once we were out of the metro, I inquired Yamamota to explain exactly ...

What teachers taught us for life:

 ಕಾಗುಣಿತ ತಪ್ಪಾಯ್ತು ಅಂತ ನೂರುಸಾರಿ ಅದನ್ನೇ ಬರೆಸಿ ಅಕ್ಷರ ದುಂಡಾಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದ  #ಕನ್ನಡ ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ  ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಪಾಡಿಗೆ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಮಾತೃಭಾಷೆ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಟ್ಟ  #English ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ  ಕಳೆದದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊರಗಬೇಡ ಗಳಿಸುವಾಗ ಮೆರೆಯಬೇಡ ಎಂದು ಹಿತವಚನ ಹೇಳಿದ #ಗಣಿತ ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ  ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಮರೆತವನು ..ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಲಾರ ಕಣಯ್ಯಾ ಎಂದು ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿದ #Social ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ  ಮೇಲೇರಿದ್ದು ಕೆಳಗೆ ಇಳಿಯಲೇ ಬೇಕು .ಇದು ಗುರುತ್ವಾಕರ್ಷಣೆ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ . ಜೀವನದ ನಿಯಮ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದ #Science ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ  ತಪ್ಪು ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಬಸ್ಕಿ ಹೊಡೆಸಿ ದೇಹ ಗಟ್ಟಿ ಮಾಡಿದ  #ಪಿಟಿಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಿಗೆ

Respect and support for teachers, who play a vital role in shaping young minds and their future:

 - Teachers are extremely important not only for schools but for our society also. Respect and support for teachers is vital who work relentlessly for our children. By involving teachers and other stakeholders in decision-making processes, democratic leaders  promote collaboration, trust, and inclusivity, contributing to a positive school climate . Despite its benefits, challenges such as resistance to change and power dynamics exist. The democratic leadership style  prioritizes collaboration above direction, and a democratic leader seeks feedback before making a final decision . A principal who adopts the democratic leadership style, for instance, is more likely to involve teachers and staff members in the decision-making process. Below are few aspects where the school management can support and collaborate with teachers. 1. Acknowledge their hard work: Express gratitude and appreciation for their dedication constantly. 2. Provide resources and support: Ensure they have ...

Teaching children to be creative:

 - Creativity is the ability to think about a task or a problem in a new or different way, or the ability to use the imagination to generate new ideas.  'Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation. Creativity opens the mind. A society that has lost touch with its creative side is an imprisoned society, in that generations of people may be closed minded'. Being creative means you are open to expressing yourself and investigating the world around you. It can also mean you work to find a new and better way of answering a question or solving a problem. Children who experience stress may experience health problems and develop a bad attitude toward learning. The researchers also found that spending too much time on homework meant that students were not meeting their developmental needs or cultivating other critical life skills. Students were more likely to forgo activities, stop seeing friends or family, and not participate in hobbies. Old one bu...

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...

The Mughal- integrated religious communities, fostered a sense of unity among diverse populations:

- Snippets: - One notable aspect of the Mughal Empire was its effort to unify Hindus and Muslims into a cohesive Indian state.  - Despite being Muslims themselves, the Mughal rulers sought to integrate both religious communities, fostering a sense of unity among diverse populations.  - Despite its eventual decline, the impact of the Mughal Empire on Indian history and culture is still felt today. - One of the hallmarks of the Mughal era was the construction of architectural marvels that continue to awe the world to this day. Iconic landmarks like the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort bear testament to the grandeur and opulence of Mughal architecture. - The Mughals not only expanded their territorial dominion but also fostered a rich cultural tapestry through their patronage of art, literature, and cuisine. - Shah Jahan, upon relocating his capital from Agra to Delhi in 1648, embarked on an ambitious project to create the new city of Shāhjahānābād. In Delhi, he constructed the majesti...

Why children fail to read in few countries:

 - While reviewing the evidence on early grade reading and writing acquisition and instruction in the last decade, it's worthwhile to discuss the 5Ts (Teaching, Time, Texts, Tongue, and Test).  Improving the acquisition of reading and writing skills in the early grades means embarking on a positive learning curve.  'Few reasons why children may have difficulty reading include: Limited vocabulary, Working memory deficit, Boredom, and Disinterest in reading'.  Below is the 5T framework to better understand this challenge: 5Ts Framework 1. Teaching:  Many teachers in developing country contexts have not had direct and explicit training in how to teach literacy. Many curricula do not include literacy as a discrete subject of instruction, hence teachers are not trained to teach it. 2. Time:  The appropriate use of classroom time as well as securing sufficient time devoted to teaching literacy is vital. Literacy needs to be taught explicitly and directly, not as ...
