[2]Teacher's Bite [Oct12_image2.jpg] Mr. Pramod Mahajan, Principal, Podar International School, Kalyan "Classroom management should be Inductive for adaptation, there should be wide scope for divergent thinkers, no doubt it should be child friendly but innovative tactics should be there so that the child is forced to think beyond the box." "The classroom environment should not be tedious; there should be lot of interactions in the positive direction to enhance learning, the application level and creative thinking." [3]Personalised Learning The term "Personalized Learning" is a buzz word that educators use as an alternative to "one size fits all" teaching. Personalised Learning puts the needs of students FIRST! Personalised Learning honours each student as an individual learner, recognizes that each student has his or her own learning style, unique gifts, interests, aspirations, and challenges to learning, and supports each student to learn in his or her own unique way. [4]Creating a Positive Learning Environment Many forces combine to create a classroom's learning environment. This environment could be positive or negative, efficient or inefficient. Much of this depends on the plans you have in place to deal with the forces that effect this environment. The following list looks at each of these forces in order to help teachers better understand these forces and how to help ensure that they do not negatively affect the classroom learning environment. [5]Events [6]Understanding And Managing Anger [7][Oct12_image3.jpg] UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING ANGER is an interactive workshop for teachers or parents or both, which discusses anger and its various facets - the emotion, expression, patterns and root causes that drive us to anger. It offers a deep analysis of the emotion and ways to manage it, to make us calmer and more effective. The workshop includes the screening of the award-winning International film 'THE SUBTEXT OF ANGER', by Vandana Kohli. Joy of Giving Week Celebration by students [Oct12_image4.jpg] Students along with some teachers went on a beach cleaning drive, a day after the Ganpati Visarjan. It was appalling to know that the beaches were all strewn with the remains of the idol of the God whom we revered for ten days. We made an effort to clean the beach. It was heartening to know that there were many who had a genuine concern for the environment. Teacher's Day celebrations at The Creek Planet School, Hyderabad [Oct12_image5.jpg] The students of grade X dressed up like teachers, in colourful dresses and looked handsome and beautiful. They conducted classes. No doubt they imitated their Teachers!! Later they felicitated their teachers in the traditional manner, which was followed by a Cultural programme. The teachers were given a sumptuous lunch by the Management. After the yummy lunch the Management invited each teacher on to the dais describing their best qualities and showed their appreciation by felicitating them and presenting them with lovely gifts.
