HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY - by Obed Khan (Vowel Education Academy)

     Children Day or Bal Diwas, in Hindi, is a day when students across schools in India indulge in various recreational activities and merrymaking. Children’s Day is celebrated in India as a tribute to Jawaharlal Nehru who was born on November 14, 1889. The day continues to be a special for children as they are showered with gifts, and more importantly, a lot of attention.

       However, before India’s independence in 1947, Children’s Day was celebrated on November 20, the day observed by the United Nations as universal Children’s Day. But after Nehru’s death in 1964, it was unanimously decided to celebrate Children’s Day on the birthday of the first Prime Minister as a tribute to his love for children.

    The day emphasises on the importance of giving love, attention and affection to children. “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country,” said Nehru. The main purpose of this day is to encourage the welfare of children all over the country.

      And Teachers have a great responsibility and opportunity to make our students contributors to the welfare of our country India, not only as excellent performers but even as good, morally upright, kind and exemplary humanbeings. Today, on Children’s day we re-examine our commitment towards achieving this Goal. Happy Children’s Day from VOWEL EDUCATION ACADEMY

The art of Motivating your Students

(By Obed Khan Teacher / trainer / life coach)

                                      

           One of the greatest challenges Teachers face is motivating students. While it is true that as teachers we have little control over external factors that influence our students’ behavior and engagement, we do play a vital role in shaping what occurs in our classroom. In fact, our instructional choices can make a positive impact on student motivation.

          
       It is very important to provide teachers with a general understanding of student motivation from a psychological perspective and to know specific strategies to help motivate students in the classroom. As teachers, we can create an optimal classroom environment that is conducive to learning, and research suggests this is most effectively achieved through instructional behaviors and course design. That means how you teach and what you teach.
                                    

           
     Teachers very well know that motivated students are easier to teach. So how do teachers motivate their students? Here are some practiced, tried and tested strategies to get your students interested in learning.....

1.       Know your students' names and use their names as often as possible.

2.      Vary your instructional strategies; use lectures, demonstrations, discussions, case studies, and more.

3.      Make your classes relevant. Be sure students see how the content relates to them and the world around them.

4.      Plan your class….without a proper lesson-plan you are making your job difficult.

5.      Encourage students to share their ideas and comments, even if they are incorrect. You'll never know what students don't understand unless you ask them.ie Involve your students in your teaching in every possible way.

And even your personal approach, your body language, your empathy for the students is very important

6.      Show enthusiasm.Be expressive. Smile.

7.      Put some excitement into your speech; vary your pitch, volume and rate.

8.     Maintain eye contact and move toward your students as you interact with them. Nod your head to show that you are listening to them. Move around the room as you teach.

9.      Be consistent in your treatment of students

10.  Be available before class starts, during break, and after class to visit with students.

Through your own behavior, course design and teaching practices, you can create classroom conditions that encourage engagement and motivation to learn on a variety of levels. So Teachers…… motivate your students towards SUCCESS.
