My students conducted a simple energy audit by checking unused appliances and classroom lights. They made posters reminding others to conserve energy. This hands-on activity made them feel responsible and empowered.

Have you tried student-led energy-saving activities? What were the results?

This year, I introduced short student-created podcasts on social studies topics. It helped improve speaking, research, and confidence. Students enjoyed hearing each other’s ideas.

Have you used audio-based projects like podcasts in your teaching? What was the outcome?

Love this! I also use project-based learning and hands-on activities to foster creativity and problem-solving. Some ideas that have worked well for me include design challenges, and digital storytelling tools like Padlet or Book Creator.

How do you include passive learners in activities??bolded text

@Hendra a thanks for sharing your challenges! I completely understand the frustration with constantly changing regulations and curriculum. In my experience, another challenge is keeping students engaged with technology and making sure they're prepared for the modern workforce. How do you think teachers can balance adapting to new curriculum requirements while also incorporating 21st-century skills and technologies into their teaching practices?

Hello Educators!

In today’s fast-paced world, cultivating kindness is more important than ever. That’s why we’ve launched a Kindness Campaign at our school—to intentionally nurture empathy, respect, and positive relationships among students and staff.

Our campaign includes simple yet powerful activities like:

Kindness walls where students leave kind notes for peers,
Secret acts of kindness challenges,
Gratitude circles during morning assemblies, and

Peer appreciation cards.

We’ve also involved parents and teachers to model kind behavior and celebrate small acts that make a big difference. It’s heartwarming to see students becoming more mindful of each other’s feelings, helping without being asked, and speaking more positively.

Kindness doesn’t just improve school culture—it builds emotional intelligence, reduces bullying, and boosts well-being.

Let’s share and grow together:

Have you run a kindness campaign in your school?

What activities or ideas worked best for you?

How do you ensure kindness is practiced all year round, not just during the campaign?

What changes did you notice in student behavior?

Let’s spread ideas and stories that inspire a more compassionate world—starting with our classrooms.

@Ridafatima95 That's wonderful to hear! Hands-on activities like making simple circuits really help students grasp the concepts of electronics and electricity in a fun and engaging way. I'm glad you liked the idea—I'm sure your students will enjoy it just as much. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

@MARIY0b647d9a23 That's amazing! Involving students in real-life actions like energy-saving campaigns not only deepens their understanding but also empowers them to be responsible citizens. I love how you connected learning with everyday habits—those small steps definitely lead to big change. Keep up the inspiring work!

@SIDRA84c43e4f0d That's fantastic! It’s so inspiring to hear how your students actively monitored energy usage and took initiative to suggest improvements. Giving them that responsibility clearly made a real impact—not just on habits but on their confidence too. It's these kinds of student-led efforts that create a lasting culture of sustainability. Great job to you and your students!

This year, we focused on promoting the importance of girls' education through classroom discussions, posters, and storytelling sessions. Students explored real-life stories of women who achieved success through education. It sparked meaningful conversations about equal opportunities and inspired both girls and boys."

Have you introduced activities or projects in your classroom to raise awareness about gender equality and the value of girls’ education? What impact did it have on your students?**

Education is one of the most powerful tools to uplift and empower girls. Yet, in many communities, girls still face barriers like early marriage, financial limitations, cultural norms, or lack of safe school environments. Empowering girls means more than just enrolling them—it’s about helping them stay in school, believe in their potential, and dream bigger.

In our school, we support girls by encouraging their voices in class, offering mentoring, involving them in leadership roles, and celebrating their achievements. We also create a safe, respectful environment where they feel confident to speak, lead, and grow.

What challenges do girls in your school or community face when it comes to continuing their education?

How can schools and teachers support girls who are at risk of dropping out?

@Shaista-Begum said in Hypotheses encourage children to make predictions:

@Mariya-Rajpar school, teachers can use various strategies to help children develop hypothesis-making skills. For example, they can start with simple questions, encourage predictions, and then test those predictions through experiments.

Love your approach to developing hypothesis-making skills in children! Starting with simple questions and encouraging predictions is a great way to build critical thinking

@Shaista-Begum said in Hypotheses encourage children to make predictions:

@Mariya-Rajpar Over time, children refine their predictions by learning from their experiences, considering different possibilities, and connecting their predictions to their understanding of the world.

It's wonderful how children can refine their predictions over time by learning from experiences and considering different possibilities. This process helps them develop a deeper understanding of the world."

@Shaista-Begum said in Hypotheses encourage children to make predictions:

@Mariya-Rajpar Teachers can use open-ended questions that encourage students to think about potential outcomes based on their understanding. This helps them develop their prediction and reasoning skills.

Open-ended questions are a powerful tool for encouraging critical thinking and prediction skills. By asking the right questions, teachers can help students develop their reasoning abilities."

@Shaista-Begum That’s a powerful observation. Teaching your own child can blur roles, making it hard to switch between parent and educator. Trained teachers provide necessary structure, which can be harder to enforce within the emotional dynamics of a family.

@Shaista-Begum Well said! Schools offer structured learning environments with tools and support systems that are hard to replicate at home. The lack of access to these resources can widen learning gaps, no matter how dedicated a parent is.

@Shaista-Begum Absolutely, Shaista. Balancing a full-time job with teaching duties at home can be overwhelming. It’s important to acknowledge the risk of burnout and promote realistic expectations for working parents, especially fathers who want to stay engaged but face time constraints.

@Shaista-Begum That’s hilarious and clever! A stealthy strategy for rest—though ideally, schools would allow open rest instead of hiding it.

@Shaista-Begum So well said! Sometimes compassion speaks louder than correction. Understanding that a tired student might just need rest is powerful.

@Shaista-Begum Exactly! A nap is like letting the brain file away new knowledge—ready for quick recall later on.

@Shaista-Begum Yes! It’s like hitting a mental refresh b**ton—students wake up sharper and more engaged in learning tasks.
