Easy and effective teaching of CBSE 12 syllabus
AZEEZ, Pooma Educational Trust-Affiliated with UN Global Compact.
Our discussion is about easy way of completing the syllabus without any tension and stress.
1.Decide that, you are teaching board classes or competitive classes or both. If both, it will not work with the same students Excluding school local and national and festive as well as weekend holidays, we may avail approx 150 days.
2. Count the school working days availability from Apr to mid of Dec. Nearly 200 teaching class hrs every teacher gets. There are 24 weeks in 150 days. Every week we get 8 hrs per class. What is it?.....
3. Make a concept graphing for your subject. What is Concept graphing?
1. Go through the syllabus given by the board. 2.Do a simple research on it. Count the major concepts. It will not exceed above 200 in every subject. Make concept maps for those major concepts . Include the contents in it. Contents include the solved problems based on the concepts. Convert the concept maps into memory maps or mind sketch. Make it in a big way without missing even a single content of it on the charts or on your desired media. Correct it and re correct it. You can make in collaboration with your well-known same subject teachers of same school or some other school in same area or in some other area. In making concept mapping, graphing and sketching...one can refer ready concept maps, available many in the web Or one can make his/her own. There's no specific method for preparing a content or concept graph or map.

There's no specific method for preparing a content or concept graph or map.
4.. TIME required. Allot to every content the time or regular class period hrs required to complete it. Pen down the time allotted near to the content itself. In our time allotment picture, we can balance it. Some concept needs more class hrs and more concepts can be completed in less class hrs. We need not to worry and hurry about it. According to CBSE board, some chapter is given 15 class hrs and some chapter is given only 7 class hrs in physics subject. Any how a teacher should complete 10 marks weightage. Might be 3X3 mark Questions or 5X2mark Questions or 2X5 mark Questions. But not 10X1 mark qns. Out of 2000 marks preparation, a student can score easily above 65 out of 70 marks. We have in our hands 200 working class hrs closely. 200x20=2000 marks, a teacher is completing. Some subjects like Physics, maths and English, NCERT books are not advisable to refer.
5. Materials required. Be choosy in your choice of selecting teaching materials, books and reference books for practise. We are preparing a student to appear 70 mark qn paper with 2000 marks prepared inputs. It is good to have NCERT books for the reference specially for the subjects like chemistry, biology, botany, zoology and business studies. Good books are sometimes are voluminous and luminous too. t is good if you divide the book chaptewise with hardbound. It is not necessary to show off specially to the students about size of the book. It may create a hardship in the very beginning of the session. It looks handy and simple. The materials what and all getting to be used should be noted on our mind graph as a reminder for the teacher.Other materials such as old year Question papers, Banks, Other materials such as charts, models .....can be made ready whenever the teacher is free for the upcoming classes. can also be used as reference.
6. Preparing notes. The topic or content where the students may face difficulty in learning can be made in a simple form and can be dictated or individual copies can be provided. Specially more emphasize should be given to the repeated Questions. Problems and derivations based Questions can be simplified according to the keys already used for the board valuation. A teacher should show their interest to involve in every year board valuation or atleast a copy of the key used for current year evaluation should be referred.: This gives more insights of student's performance in the school level examinations.
7. Method of teaching. Follow the best befitted method of teaching in the classroom. Use micro teaching method the most in which a teacher teaches a content and refers the depth of understanding level of students. If not reteach again. This time you will get cent percent reflections and responses from the taught.
8. Be confident on your guess Questions. With the reference to the past year Question papers and banks, a teacher can make a list of the most wanted Questions for every chapter. Also make a summary chapterwise and the same can be displayed for a week in the classroom in the form of charts.....The same method can be adopted for mind graph also. But it should be displayed in classroom prior a week to the beginning of the next chapter. This makes an excellent impression on the topic and student's confident on teacher also. Here it is not necessary to go for important concepts. So that the teacher can minimise the no of tests in the classroom to 10 or 15. Use video clips, models and day today life examples to minimise the effort of making the students to understand.
9 . Task assignments and tests. It can be in two different creative ways for every 10 concepts. We have altogether 200 concepts. In 20 task assignments and tests we complete the whole syllabus. Not to give more tasks and tests in your subject. At the same time, ensure that every student clears 10 tests to score distinction in the board exams. It means 100 concepts in full learning is more than sufficient to score distinction. The same can be followed for irregular students also. Also not to forget to ensure that the below average students clear minimum 5 task tests. 50 concepts in full learning make the below average students to clear their exam without fail. HERE A POINT SHOULD BE NOTED CAREFULLY. If you are still concern about the irregular and below average students and to ensure cent percent of result in your subject, please you do prepare all those 50 concepts written by your own hand and not to be typed and give them for studies for the whole year. The task assignment and test can be conducted in two ways.
Method 1. Choose 10 contents from any chapter. It should not be random. But continuous. If you choose the contents randomly, Questions may come in the between the contents, the contents which you dropped. Prepare a standard Question paper accordingly to the board pattern within the contents chosen. Teachers should follow the norms and standards of a question paper pattern. One thing should in mind, teacher is preparing a question paper for board exams, not for competitive exams. Therefore the difficulty level of the Question paper should be aiming to create more interest towards the studies. It should not create a mind set in students that they cannot do well or less interest towards the subject. Almost the Question paper is in your hands. Now make no of copies and give individual copies to your students and ask them to prepare answers to the questions in the Question paper and give them time for a week. Next week collect all the answer scripts prepared by and ensure that those answers are serving the purpose or not. Or otherwise give them the correct answers. This should go out of your classroom regular teaching. No way regular teaching should be stopped. Once answer scripts are ensured with the correct answers to the question, fix a date for the task test. Give numbers to the task test. For the same question paper students are expected to write the test. Ensure that your supervision is good because it is your subject. The task assignment and test can be conducted in two ways.
Method 2. Chosen the Same content for the test. Select some good performing students to prepare the Question paper. You will get so many number of question paper. Ensure that the Question paper should touch the contents chosen for the test. Conduct the test for the content chosen with these number of question papers. Give different Question paper to different student. Not of his own question paper by following lottery system as you follow in practical exams. Children are happy in giving troubles to others by making hard questions. Therefore once in a while give them their own question paper. This way Questions in the content chosen gets familiar to the students. It is very important to know the Questions than answer to the questions first. Because wrong answer to the right question and vice versa gives no fruits if it is presented well also. You can choose any of the above said method for task test. Method 1 is formal and normal. Method 2 is informal and abnormal. Method 1 is easy for the teacher to evaluate and method 2 is easy for the students to write but hard to evaluate. Because teacher should prepare answer key to all the questions. Therefore 10 contents, 20 tests, 200 concepts, to score above distinction.: 10 contents, 10 tests, 100 contents to score some reasonable marks. 10 contents, 5 tests, 50 contents to pass in the exam and for irregular students also. POINT TO REMEMBER AGAIN. CHOOSE 10 CONTINUES CONTENTS, NOT TO GO FOR RANDOM CHOICES. Ensure your question paper to touch all 10 contents.

POINT TO REMEMBER AGAIN. CHOOSE 10 CONTINUES CONTENTS, NOT TO GO FOR RANDOM CHOICES. Ensure your question paper to touch all 10 contents.
10. Evaluation. You are evaluating not someone else paper who was taught by someone and examined by someone as you in the board examinations. You are evaluating your own teaching - how depth your teachings are reached to your targets. Because you taught them, you examined them and evaluating them. Moreover you taught your own subject where you are considered as an expert professional. Teachers should feel happy about their next generation is learning his/her subject. The subject is getting a next new generations to learn through you. Is not the grace for you? Keeping all these factors in the mind, respect their answers whether answer is complete or incomplete, right or wrong. Respect even a single word that is relevant. Honour the answer with some marks. Being a Physics teacher, I should be proud that my student is writing in Physics whether it is correct or incorrect. But nothing is written wrong. This feeling of belongingness is the first step for a teacher to be a feeling good teacher. Feeling to be good as if my student know Newton's law because of me. Prepare a answer key which is applicable to your students in the beginning and evaluate it. On going days, you can make standard answer keys according to the board. Award good marks if the answer is correct. There should be no bias and injustice from your end. If a student feels that the teacher is injustice and bias in awarding marks, one can predict the implications in a student mind. A teacher should not be a reason for their degradation of interest towards the subject. Because student teacher relationship begins from this check point to become weekend or stronger. Respectable or disrespectable.....
11. Performance analysis. After the evaluation, make a detailed report on individual's performance in the task test. From the report a teacher can who is not clear in which content. Reteach the contents which are not attempted by maximum number of students. If it is limited number of students, pay individual attention to the particular.
12. Maintain a record. Record every marks scored by your students in your personal register. See in them the progress. This record is not to find faults on our students. It is to refer the efforts that you have undertaken for their growth. On a fine day, students may feel the pain and care that you have taken for their life which may make a mark in students mind that you are an unforgettable teacher. Through out their life you live in their heads and hearts. These are some simple steps to complete the syllabus of CBSE 12. Thank you for your gesture of goodwill towards the topic.
