@HIBAT72f789a882 I completely agree—integrating reusable materials into art education is a powerful way to teach both creativity and responsibility. It’s amazing to see how students become more innovative when they’re challenged to turn everyday waste into something meaningful. Together, we’re not just fostering artistic skills, but also shaping mindful, solution-oriented individuals who care about the planet.

@Shaista-Begum Superiority and inferiority complexes silently damage the culture of schools by creating division, discouraging collaboration, and lowering morale. Whether among teachers, students, or leaders, these mindsets hinder growth. The solution lies in fostering a growth mindset, inclusive practices, and open communication. When we focus on building confidence over comparison, and appreciation over competition, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to grow together.

, In government schools, true teaching goes beyond protocols and reports. It’s about serving with honesty, love, and dedication — not just for recognition, but as an act of worship. When a teacher teaches sincerely and fairly, they are working for God, not just the system. Following rules with integrity and giving every student their due is the real mark of a committed teacher. Their quiet efforts may go unnoticed by the world, but they are deeply valued in the eyes of God.

@Antonia said in What is the worldwide experience of integrating global competence into curriculum: school practice and teachers’ voice:

Integrating global competence into the curriculum is a vital aspect of modern education. By adapting teaching methods to neomillennial learning styles and embracing digital civic and political participation, educators prepare students to navigate a diverse and interconnected world. Understanding global issues not only impacts the present but shapes the future, emphasizing the need for a multidimensional approach encompassing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values applicable to intercultural scenarios. Encounters with individuals from different cultural backgrounds form the essence of global competence, fostering an understanding of diverse perspectives and cultivating a more nuanced view of complex global challenges.

@Bilim Bringing this new subject to life means embracing neomillennial learning styles and engaging students in digital civic and political participation. For educators, developing global competence is essential—it reshapes the very purpose of education in today’s interconnected world. Teaching global issues goes beyond content; it influences both current and future generations by fostering critical knowledge, values, and skills.

At the heart of global competence is the ability to navigate intercultural situations, whether in person or online. This means helping students explore diverse perspectives, understand cultural differences, and reflect on complex global challenges. As a result, students begin to see the world not just through their own lens, but through multiple viewpoints—building empathy, open-mindedness, and informed global citizenship.

@Shaista-Begum The structure of lesson plans has evolved in format and style, but the core components remain consistent. These include learning objectives, prior knowledge, resources, introduction, presentation, practice, assessment, closure, and homework. While headings may vary (like "Set Induction" vs. "Introduction"), the purpose stays the same: guiding students from what they know to what they need to learn through structured, goal-driven teaching.

@Quratulain Absolutely! It’s a smart way to blend creativity with real-world skills while promoting sustainability and innovation. Great initiative!

@Maryam-Jawed Well said! Teachers truly can guide students in developing respectful, open communication. Simple activities like role-play and journaling make a big impact in strengthening parent-child bonds.

@NIMRAf294db641d Absolutely! Connecting choices to learning goals strikes the perfect balance—students feel both empowered and purpose-driven. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

@HIBAT72f789a882 Thank you so much! I truly believe SEL makes a big difference, and it's great to see others value it too.

@Sanaa The project helped students become more aware, responsible, and confident by applying what they learned to real-life problems through teamwork and creative solutions.

@Quratulain I give real-world projects that promote planning, research, and innovation, and I support teamwork to help students develop and present effective solutions.

@Shaista-Begum Discipline is about guiding students to follow rules and norms, using consequences to correct and improve behavior.

@Shaista-Begum Students often mirror their teachers because they see them as role models. A teacher's behavior, speech, and teaching style leave a strong impression, shaping not only students' knowledge but also their attitude, confidence, and character.

@Shaista-Begum Starting formal school after age 5 is developmentally suitable for most children. Still, early exposure to playful learning in preschool supports social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Most countries begin formal education around ages 5–6, while places like Finland start at 7, focusing first on play-based development.

@Zymal492cb0cdb1 Using hands-on activities with recycled materials encourages creativity and problem-solving while promoting self-directed learning and environmental awareness.

@Mariya-Rajpar Absolutely! Real-world projects and teamwork build key future skills like research, planning, collaboration, and creative problem-solving in a meaningful way.

@Sanaa Love this! I also use project-based learning and hands-on tasks like design challenges and tools like Padlet or Book Creator.
To include passive learners, I give them roles that match their strengths, use peer support, and start with low-pressure tasks to build confidence and involvement.

@MARIY0b647d9a23
Thank you for initiating this valuable discussion. In my classroom, I promote creative thinking through project-based learning and hands-on activities—such as designing models or instruments using recycled materials. These tasks enhance innovation, concept understanding, and real-world application.

I also integrate digital tools like Canva for presentations and visual storytelling, which boosts creativity and engagement. One of the most impactful activities was a STEM project where students created functional science models from everyday waste fostering both problem-solving and environmental awareness.

Such strategies have noticeably increased student participation and enthusiasm for learning. I look forward to learning more from your experiences as well.

@TANIA2a4b8fae35 We can add art, music, and real-world projects to lessons to make learning more creative and engaging.
