Hi dear,
The best way for these introverts is to make them sit in peer or groups, in collaborative learning, they come up with some extra-ordinary ideas which they are reluctant to speak in front of whole class, however in peers or groups they can easily share their ideas.

Hi dear,
Obviously, SLO plays the role of your destination where you want to reach, without prior work, estimations, route analysis, you can't achieve your destiny. SLO provides guidance to think of strategies as per the lesson, differentiating instructions as per the need of students and lastly to check if you have achieved in the end what you have planned or work out in the beginning.

Formative assessments are tools used to guide and improve both teaching and learning processes. They help uncover misunderstandings and learning gaps, allowing for timely adjustments and feedback. The goal is to enhance student understanding and instructional strategies.

Examples include: quizzes, classroom reflections, hinge questions, surveys, and collaborative activities.

Please share your favourite and effective formative assessment tools and it's impact on your students learning.

Yes, recently we have invited the officers from Traffic police department in our school to motivate our students about their profession, teaching traffic signals and signs to protect them. The best part was the appearance of lady officer who presented her journey to the girls and motivate them to not only focused for teaching, engineering, or medical as their career but traffic police department is also equally important and welcomed girls to take this profession as their career.

Hi dear,
Yes, it should be the key subject for the teaching in school, of not in the form of subject then at least should be the part of counselling member. Every time when we are dealing, motivating, acquiring answers from students, we are actually dealing with their emotions. This should not only be taught for students but for teachers too. for a healthy and smooth school environment, learning emotional intelligence is necessary for teacher and student both.

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven classrooms where students are more digitally connected than ever.

Are we paying enough attention to their moral development and social well-being?

How can we balance digital learning with activities that promote moral and social development?

Can technology itself be used to promote values based education? If yes, how?

Let’s support each other in nurturing not just smart, but also kind and responsible future citizens.

Hi dear,
I agreed with your perspective, however this is also a quality of a teacher to meet the needs of students with limited resources. we also fave technology shortage in our school but somehow managed to integrate technology in our classrooms. Your passion for teaching must be higher than any other hurdles.

Hi,
this is really a great approach to record and take feedback of students, I believe your students feel great encouragement and motivation to record their responses as podcast. I also agree this strategy gave chances for less speakers to speak and overcome their hesitation.

Hi dear,
this seems to be easy to assess the students with diverse needs but in reality, it is not that much easy, first planning the lesson then designing assessments for diversity classroom required carefulness and time taking process. Once you achieve the target, it will be again a careful planning for the next lesson and assessment strategy.

@Oojala-Tasneem Wow! this is so inspiring and insightful strategy, agreed with you, our students are more creative and full of ideas than us, we just need to facilitate them and provide them the direction to come with their own ideas and solutions.

Totally agreed with your comprehensive and insightful explanation, I would also add here after class Resource person is equally important as before and during the class to analyze his/her teaching strategies, to make records of assessment and plan accordingly for their next lesson in class.

I really appreciate your strategy of increasing difficulty level, the more comfortable the child feels in class, the more he/she likely to engage or learn. One strategy could be make a group of these learners and initiate competitions in them for writing, reading and speaking, based on low level difficulties and the increase the difficulty level.

Respected Sir!
I am glad to hear your real life examples for the mathematics subject, this strategy will surely help students to retain their concepts for longer time. Mathematics goes simultaneously in our daily life and practical examples. Hope you and your students will enjoy more when exploring real world around you!

Hello!
What I believe is use of smart phones in junior classes won't be that much distracting, like students follow the instructions of teachers, guide them to open the required website/link, they will follow whatever instructed by teacher. For High school students, you need to be focused and have strong communication with them, give them time limit to read/explore, this will also be helpful, so that they won't go for browsing other stuff on smart phone.

At our school, we've discovered that linking lessons to real-life examples transforms how students engage with learning. Whether it's explaining chemical reactions through cooking, teaching geometry by showing home layouts, or exploring environmental science through local issues like water conservation, students are found more curious, engaged, motivated, and involved.

Please share your favorite real-life examples used in the classroom or any innovative ideas that helped you make learning more meaningful and relatable for your students. What difference have you observed when students learn this way?

Let’s share experiences and inspire one another to build stronger learning connections for our students every day!

Hi dear,
I would love to know about your games, can you please elaborate your game types, like if they are physical games or online games and how do you find these games impact on students learning. This will help me to implement this in my classroom too.

Hi dear,
For next decade, essential skills for students would be, communication, socialization, AI learning, familiarity with other cultures, adaptability and positivity, Virtual Team Builder, Innovative in decision making and most importantly self esteemed and growth.

Hi everyone!
I’m Erum Zahid and I’m from Pakistan .

I work as a Junior Elementary School Teacher at a government school. What I love most about my job is making science meaningful and engaging for my students, especially by using hands-on activities and real-life examples.

Recently, I was honored to receive the "Visionary Teacher" title in a national competition for Best Teaching Practices. It was a proud moment to have my efforts recognized at such a high level!

In my free time, I enjoy music , exploring hands-on activities/worksheets for my kids, working on educational projects, participating in online trainings, competitions with my students, and learning about tools to bring technology into the classroom. I also like reading and exploring creative ways to enhance teaching.

Excited to connect and learn with all of you here!
