@BUSHR43f4bb18a0 I think failure is a chance to learn. I always tell my students it’s okay to fall but important to get up and try again. That’s how we grow.

@Ridafatima95 Absolutely dependency and low confidence can really hold students back.I’ve seen that giving them small responsibilities praising their efforts and encouraging them can make a big difference.We should also create a safe space where mistakes are seen as part of learning.Confidence grows when students feel trusted and supported.

I’ve noticed some of my girl students are very bright and creative but when it comes to speaking in front of the class they become extremely shy and nervous. They have so much potential but hesitate to express it publicly.

As teachers what strategies or small activities do you use to help such students feel more comfortable and confident?

Let’s share ideas on how we can gently encourage them build their confidence and create a supportive environment where they can shine.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

This is so true. Many kids act out or shut down because of what they’re facing at home. I try to notice small signs like mood changes or silence and offer a safe space to talk.

One day, my student came to class unusually quiet and didn’t complete any work. Instead of scolding her, I gently asked if everything was okay. She burst into tears her parents had fought all night. That moment reminded me how much our students carry. We need to be more attentive in class and notice sudden changes in behavior. They often tell a story words don’t.

@MARIY0b647d9a23 AI tools like ChatGPT can help students learn by explaining concepts or offering ideas but using them to copy answers crosses the line.
Should students use AI for homework?
Yes but only as a guide not to do all the work.
Where’s the line?
If AI replaces thinking it’s no longer learning.
Does copying from AI count as learning?
No real learning comes from thinking not just finishing tasks.
AI can support education but students must use it responsibly to truly benefit.
I think the Solution is to teach students how to use it for learning not for cheating.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 Yes absolutely I did a storytelling and poster activity on girls education. The girls felt proud and motivated many said it made them believe more in their own potential. I also gave a presentation topic in class on the “Her Story, Her Power” project where students shared real stories of educated women from our area.

Hello everyone!

Let’s share some easy, low-cost or no-cost tools or methods we use in the classroom that truly help students learn better. It can be anything a handmade game, a local resource, a smart routine, or even a creative way of explaining something difficult.

What’s one simple thing you do in your class that really works?

Looking forward to learning from your ideas!

In the next decade students will need skills like problem solving digital literacy and emotional intelligence. To build these, we should focus on project based learning collaborative tasks and real world challenges in the classroom.Teaching them how to learn independently and think creatively will prepare them for a future we can't yet predict.

Hello everyone!

I’m Afshan Shah a Junior Elementary School Teacher from Dadu Sindh Pakistan.

I work in a government school, and the part I love most is helping young my young girls build a strong learning foundation especially those who are learning to read and write for the first time. It’s always special to see their faces light up when they understand something new.

In my free time, I enjoy designing simple classroom activities and making handmade learning aids using everyday materials. It helps me bring creativity into the classroom without needing much.

Happy to be here and looking forward to learning from you all!
