Professional Development

-
Ever since the govt. is coming forward with education policies, the most important focus is learner centred education. But in practice it is still a far cry. Our education, teaching practices, strategies seem to be dogmatic and obsolete. Perhaps the reason is lack of proper professional development programmes for teachers. Most of our teachers do not possess necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to provide quality education. They teach in their own style and hardly make efforts to sharpen their saw. The professional courses for teachers have failed to produce real teachers. If a detailed study is conducted to analyse this, it will certainly find that more than 70 percent of them are teachers  by chance and not by choice. This is perhaps very unfortunate for our education. We need teachers who opt the profession by choice.  Research, experience and studies reveal that there are three important requirements for the teachers to teach effectively. Knowledge, skill and attitude. Thorough

Categories of EMPLOYEES

-
The lock down period is perhaps providing plenty of time to one and all for self development these days. One of the important tools is vivid reading. This afternoon I was going through my notes of traning various categories of employees. Of course these types of employees exist in every system/organization. The heads are supposed to deal them accordingly.
 
INSPIRING EMPLOYEES- Such employees are asset to the organization. They are self motivated, sincere, intelligent and goal oriented. The head must be competent enough to identify such employees.

PERSPIRING- EMPLOYEES- This category is of hard working people. They are always busy with business. Work is worship for them. They may not be very intelligent but they are diligent.Such employees can also prove to be an asset to the organization.

RESPIRING EMPLOEES-  This type of employees always want to be in comfort zone. The are in fact hardly working people. Every time they need respite. The heads have always  to be after them. 

EXPIRING EMPLOYEES- They are almost of no use . They are rather liability to the organization. They  least bother for their self growth as well as the growth of the organization. Their contribution is almost nil.

CONSPIRiNG EMPLOYEES-  This is the most dangerous category. They  neither work nor let others  work. They  are busy in hatching conspiracy against the head, organization or other colleagues.  The head has to be very vigilant about such people. They can stoop down to any extent and and cause a big harm.

Principal with Principles

-
Principal is a key person in school /college system. It is often said that as is the principal so is the school. It is of course true to a larger extent. Principal is an academician, administrator, manager and a leader. His/her role in the system is multidimensional. Principal should be able to articulate and realize the School's vision and mission of holistic education. Secrets of success are passion, conviction, commitment, communication and devotion. Besides, it is expected that the Principal must have some principles to manage, administer, guide and lead in an effective manner . Some of the guiding principles are appended below --- Dress and address - must be decently dressed and excellent communication skills. Praise publically /lavishly but criticise /reprimand privately. Rule /administer not by diktat but by dialogue. Talk less, listen more Create leaders not followers More goal oriented than rule oriented Think globally,  act locally Not only active but proactive.

Value education

-
It is perhaps the most challenging and critical time for all of us when  the entire world is fighting with Corona. Most of the parents except the corna fighters must be at home with their siblings. Let us all utilize the quality time to imbibe good values in them. I would like to suggest the following for their value orientation. 1. Remember that values can not be taught but are caught. Values filter downward from parents to children and teachers to taught. Parents and teachers not having a strong value base can not instil the desired values in their children and students. Let us strive hard to build up our value Base during these days by reading moral stories, good literature, listening to music that leads to positivity, watching informative and educative films/serials and of course avoiding fake news/messages. 2. Keep the children gainfully busy in constructive activities including reading, writing, drawing, painting, gardening, as well as some household works. 3.The children should
