With a Master’s degree in English and a recently completed B.Ed, I bring both academic strength and practical teaching insight to the classroom. Over the past three years, I’ve dedicated myself to shaping young minds through creative, student-centered learning. I believe every child carries hidden potential, and it’s our role as educators to uncover and nurture it with patience, and empathy. Teaching, to me, is not just a profession . it’s a mission to light the way for the next generation.

RE: Reimagining Assessment Methods
In my point of view grades should be replaced because they just shows number not students learning, capacity and creativity. Competency based learning show how much student know and can do and indeed portfolio shows their creativity in portfolio and progress over time. These methods are more student cantered, more meaningful to assess their learning and capabilities.that way students would be focused on learning not just getting marks and grades.

@Hendra Thank you so much, Hendra, for your kind and thoughtful feedback. I truly appreciate your words . You’re absolutely right implementing the flipped classroom approach does require extra effort and time , but seeing the students engaged and learning meaningfully makes it all worth it, and I loved this method Flipped classroom that changed the game more time, deeper learning, and stronger student connection.

Dear @HAZAR0c50a82765 Today I voted for your project. Your work shows a thoughtful blend of traditional and digital art. It’s great to see students exploring both worlds creatively, especially with limited resources. The approach is practical and relevant to today’s learning environment. -

RE: Gender Discrimination
@Ridafatima95 I completely agree with this. Gender discrimination affects both girls and boys, and it’s so important that schools create inclusive spaces where everyone feels equal and supported. We need to break these stereotypes and give every student the chance to grow and succeed.

@Moham323d135850 Thank you so much,for your kind and insightful feedback! I’m really glad you found the lesson effective and engaging for young learners.
In flipped classroom , I aimed to ensure that the content could stand on its own—so I created a easily understandable language and detailed PowerPoint that guides students step-by-step, allowing them to learn independently without constant teacher assistance. This makes the resource highly scalable, as it can easily be adapted and implemented across different schools and institutions.
I also incorporated hands-on classroom activities using real-life objects, which not only reinforces learning but makes the experience more tangible and memorable for the students.
Thanks again for your valuable feedback it truly motivates me to keep improving and sharing more accessible learning tools

RE: Enhancing student learning in innovation competitions
@adelDgreat learning should always trump winning. These events are fantastic for sparking creativity and problem-solving in students, even as young as ten. They get to tackle real-world issues and dream up solutions. However, if we overemphasise winning, we miss the real value. Students need to understand that setbacks aren't failures, but chances to learn and improve. It's about fostering a healthy competitive spirit where the journey of exploration and development is more important than the trophy. The true success lies in the skills gained and the lessons learned along the way.

RE: Gamefying learning
Dear @ZARA Gamification makes learning exciting and rewarding. My favourite method Turning lessons into levels. Learners earn points for completing tasks, badges for achievements, and move up a leaderboard for friendly competition. It keeps them motivated, focused, and coming back for more.
When learning feels like a game, students don’t just study they enjoy.
I played a Noun detective game Through the ‘Noun Detectives’ game, students became excited and fully engaged in learning! They loved taking turns as little detectives—picking objects, saying their names out loud, and confidently identifying whether it was a person, place, or thing the game was as I
Set up 3 labeled columns on the board or on a table:
• Person
• Place
• Thing
2. Prepare a box or basket filled with noun cards or real objects (like toy animals, mini props, or picture cards).
3. One by one, students come up as “Noun Detectives.”
4. Each detective:
• Picks an object or card.
• Says its name out loud (e.g., “This is a pencil!”). Says what type of noun it is: person, place, or thing and Places it into the correct column.
It Helps students practice identifying and classifying nouns in a hands-on, memorable way and it builds vocabulary, speaking confidence, and grammar awareness. -

RE: What is role of a multi grade school teacher
@Engr-Zeeshan Multi grade Requires more preparation of curriculum learning materials. Requires more careful study of learner's developmental characteristics across the age levels involved in the class, approaches and strategies that are effective and viable within a multigrade class. More investment in organisations of the classroom as learning environment.
Roles of Teacher in Multi-Grade Class
• As a teacher
• As a facilitator
• As a planner
• As an evaluator
• As a material designer
• As an action researcher
