5. There have been many challenges and challenging
situations in different fields during this journey.
The thought of sharing experiences was very strongly
felt by us in the due course of our journey.
Half of the issues can be solved by interacting with the
people around us.
Learning is a never ending cycle-
as we believe strongly as we are webbed with
targets, schedules, routines
and
commitments.
With changing trends keeping ourselves updated with the
things around us has also turned it into a challenge for
me.

6. Do we
document our
failures and
success???

8. We felt most pained when we found somebody
struggling hard to keep pace with time and him.
Therefore, we decided to talk to the people and
discuss issues related to their requirements and the
need of the hour.
we have done a lot of research to be able to help one
and all in fast changing parameters around us
And
now wish to be in a constructive position to help others
in whichever capacity we can.
Now proudly we can say we are a team now working
together holding each others hand and helping all
around us.
This is why it is called as
Hand in Hand Workshops

learned

Any assigned task/experience that stimulates change
in behavior of the learner,
in one of the following domains of the child
LIKE:

32. Is teaching an art or a science?
Successful Classroom Teachers
are
artists
who use
the science of education
to make their students
Successful Learners and Critical Thinkers.
Is there one teaching style/method that is more successful than
others?
NO! Like students, teachers are human beings −
with different personalities and backgrounds.
Through practice and experience,
Successful Classroom Teachers
apply their SKILLS to develop
a personal teaching style/method
that fits their
own personality, background, and teaching philosophy.

34. Are Successful Classroom Teachers born or made?
Some people are born with a 'talent' for teaching,
but
almost anyone can LEARN
the Essential Skills of a Successful Classroom Teacher.
A SUCCESSFUL CLASSROOM TEACHER is one who
provides the discipline and environment necessary for
student learning.
Establishing and maintaining this discipline and environment
require the successful application of the Essential Skills.
Points to ponder

35. The PRODUCT of Successful Education
Is
a student with an understanding of
How-To-Learn and apply knowledge
through Critical Thinking.
Skillful Learners and Critical Thinkers
are able to learn any thing, any where, any time
they need it −
and
apply that knowledge to become
CONTRIBUTING members of society.

38. Managing Change
Commonsense tells us
there are
three ways in which
failure may take place among
educational institutions
(1) Change bypasses the institution
(2) The institution bypasses change
(3) Both can happen
