Strength of a school lies in the stability of its teachers. Frequent changes of a teacher at whatever may be the reason for that, the reputation of the school is degraded definitely in the sector.

It’s said the whole philosophy lies in two words - obtain and sustain. Before we discuss how to retain teachers , we should discuss how to recruit good teachers. Good teachers are not easily available. In fact , we as principals have to compromise with average teachers depending upon the managements policies and school budget. Then we have to work hard with them  over a period of time and turn them into quality teachers. When such teachers try to fly away in search of greener pastures, it’s natural to feel sad. We can’t stop all such teachers to spread their wings in the blue unknown, we can definitely minimise the number.

First and foremost task is to treat them with the dignity they deserve. They need to be felt important and stake holders in the school administration. The head of the institution must develop a personal rapport with all the teachers and keep them into confidence. He/ she should never boss over them. From time to time family get togethers must be organised to create a healthy family atmosphere. Their monetary interests must be looked after so well that they don’t think of making their nests elsewhere.

Head should act as a cushion between staff and management in times of crisis and stand by them through thick and thin. Timely payment of salaries and performance linked incentives also help in retention to a large extent.

A teacher will never join a school for immediate leaving from the school. Teacher knows well how it affects education of a child. Most probably unban schools not coming under  this kind of loop. In urban sector schools get easily teachers of their design. Because easy availability. And Teachers do not bother about any reasons such as respect, salary.....Because they may find part time jobs such as coaching and tuition classes for their extra income or to fulfill the loss of salary. But in rural section schools are affected more. Teachers may give varied reasons such as distant place, no professional growth, tight schedule, colleagues are not good, students are very brilliant and I am unable to coop with them, students are not good at studies, Principlal is not good, no increments, no appreciation from the ends of management and Principal, no facilities, no good environment, poor salary, more strength, village school, no leave granted, .......But whatever may be the reason the teacher gives, might be true or not, management and Principal should devise a mechanism by which a teacher should not prefer to leave. It’s difficult enough to find the right person to fill an open position.

Recruitment efforts take time and money. Jobs sometimes take months to fill, and if everything goes well, the right person is placed in the job. Sounds difficult? It is. But that’s actually the easy part. Once someone has been placed, what is being done to keep them? Placing a right person in a wrong position and wrong person in the right position create always problems.

Who's responsibility it is to have a right person to a right position and to retain the person for a long run in a school. Today’s employees have options and opportunities. If they aren’t happy, they will leave. They will find a new job and the school will be left with an open position to fill – which takes time and money.  Lots of time. Lots of money. Retention is a big issue. Knowing what makes people happy in their job and doing the right things to make sure they are happy, will not only help the school's bottom line, it will make the organisation culture a positive place to be. Who wouldn’t want to work in a positive environment?. Here’s the problem. Many people think school culture is created from the top down, from HR, or other places. While that may be partially true, in the long run, that method of creating, maintaining or changing company culture only works in instilling very general elements of the culture.  Why?. Because leadership and HR are often not working alongside the rest of the organization on a day to day basis.  It is difficult to instill a culture if you aren’t regularly spending time with most of the people in the organisation.  While it can be trickled down through the different management levels, it isn’t always the most effective way to ensure everyone gets the same message.

In top schools like Doon, Lovedale, Daly, St Joseph, Loyala, Hindu, Padma sheshathri.....who has created such a culture and name. Is it the Principlal? Founder? Governor?....It is created by the these cultural elements evolved from the people. Organisations culture has a big influence on employee satisfaction. I recently asked people on LinkedIn which factors of the culture have the biggest impact on retention.  I listed a number of choices, and everyone was also able to add other factors which were not listed.  Responders commented on the post itself and I also received a number of private messages. The results show that even though there is so much talk about creating organisation culture, many organisations are missing the mark.

The fact that RESPECT was the one factor that was mentioned far more often than the others says much about what is really happening in many organisations today. For every element in a culture, employees can take actions to improve the culture and their place in it. Sometimes they may need to have difficult conversations with their managements  and leaders are not always willing to accommodate their needs and requests. When this happens, employees need to decide what will work best for them, to stay in a place which doesn’t satisfy these needs or to seek other employment. It is all about choices and it is the employee’s choice about how to proceed. Below is the list of cultural factors impacting employee retention, which was discussed on LinkedIn. It is listed in the order of most to least frequent mentions.

1.Respect is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!Respect each other by the age, by the experience, by the qualifications, by the nature of the person. It should begin from the leader. The leader should compete and lead others in giving respect to his subordinates. It is better giving respect than getting. If Work is God, then who is he performing the work. Should he be Respected or not?. It is the failure of the head of there is no mutual respect among the people in the campus. Respect between the Teachers, between the students and between Teachers and students is to be taken care more. An organisation which is built upon the Foundation of mutual respect never be doomed. If  leaders view their employees as co-workers instead of subordinates, empower them to make decisions and demonstrate they trust the employee’s abilities, employees will feel more respected.  School leaders can and should always model respectful behavior. This is to be taken  significantly more than any other factor.  People want to be respected as people, for their knowledge and for their work.  Respect also comes in the form of trust – trusting leaders, employees, and peers. 

2. Organisation's culture is everyone's responsibility
culture has a big influence on employee satisfaction. I recently asked people on LinkedIn which factors of the culture have the biggest impact on retention.  I listed a number of choices, and everyone was also able to add other factors which were not listed.  Responders commented on the post itself and I also received a number of private messages. Retention is a big issue. Knowing what makes people happy in their job and doing the right things to make sure they are happy, will not only help the school's bottom line, it will make the organisation culture a positive place to be. Who wouldn’t want to work in a positive environment? Everyone needs to stop only looking toward leadership to create and maintain the culture. Everyone needs to take responsibility for it on their own.

3. Career Path / Advancement is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Every employee is responsible for managing their own career path. If you were to ask employees what they would like their next role to be, they can usually answer that question. Growth and development are two different factors in an organisation. Individual in an organisation should grow and development is to the organisation.  If it is reversed, retention is impossible. Leaders should ensure the individual growth and development of the organisation together. It is indeed directly proportional to each other : If you were to ask them their long-range career goals, you will find that many have never even thought about them.  Employees should set career goals, share them with their leaders and work together toward that goal.  They themselves should look for internal and external training to prepare themselves. They need to seek new tasks and experiences which will help them grow.

4. Professional Growth is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Everyone in an organisation needs to take charge of his/her own professional growth. While there are some leaders who encourage professional growth, there are also many who discourage it.  It is up to the employee to identify courses to take and explain to the manager how these leaders can help accomplish their tasks and assignments.  *Mentorship* is also important. If the organisation doesn’t have a mentor program, employees should take the time to find someone who has accomplished similar goals. This can be someone inside or outside of the organisation. Employees take charge of this by scheduling time to meet with their prospective mentor, preparing a list of questions about how they got to where they are and asking them for guidance. Most people are willing to help someone else, but if someone is not, there are plenty others that are. Retention is not at all possible if the employee does not have the above mentioned two. *Professional growth and mentorship*

5. Money Earned is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Everyone is responsible for their own compensation. While it is true that the company sets the salary, it typically falls within a range. It is important for everyone to know their market value and ask for compensation within that range. *Retention is not possible when compensation is compromised* Are you being paid your worth?  Ask a question to yourself. If not... learn a lesson from it if not paid well.

Some suggestions.
From the Lesson learned… If you have a question, don’t be afraid to ask. It’s usually not what you are asking, but how you are asking.  Asking for clarification opened the door to the conversation without making it a confrontational situation. I don’t know if it would have gone as well if I accused him of paying me less because of gender.  Sometimes (many times) there is much more decision-making information we are unaware of. We really didn’t know the reason for the salary decision, so asking about it first was a better move. *Speak to the right people* Don’t waste time complaining to a co-worker who can’t resolve the issue. Speaking to the wrong people causes unnecessary negativity. If it is a real issue that needs to be addressed, speak to the person that can help resolve it.  *Know your worth* If we knew our worth, we would have better negotiated when the job was offered. Today, there are many online resources that can help figure out what you are worth. Salaries may vary, based on location and industry, but with some research, all that information can be found as well. Get paid for the market value of the job.

6. Recognition is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
À very big heart is a must for the leaders to recognise and appreciate. Everyone should encourage recognition in the school.  Employees who take the time to congratulate other employees find they are often congratulated in return. Employees can change the culture by actively recognizing good work and success. They can even take it one step further by suggesting and implementing new ways to celebrate successes. This is one of the smartest way to retain Teachers. Appreciate for their success. Have some good words to say. It needs no money to buy some good appreciating words. You can make their day worth and purpose of their existence great.

7. Personal Growth is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Everyone is responsible for his or her own personal growth. Presentation skills, writing, goal setting, are all examples of skills which may or may not be directly tied to a job but are all types of personal growth. If training is not available in-house for these types of skills, employees should seek true training elsewhere.  Not all training needs to have a cost. Training can take many forms and there are many YouTube videos and podcasts which are free of charge. Above all *Ensure that their lifestyles modified after joining your organisation* Support them to lead a quality life. *Save their life from their lifestyles*

8. Challenge is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Everyone is responsible for seeing to it that they are challenged. If employees do the same thing day in and day out, they will get bored.  Employees who feel this way should discuss ways to be challenged with their leader and not by the leader.  Employees can seek or find challenging projects and offer to do them. If a leader  does not want their employee to step out of their role, the employee needs to discus the reason with the leader.

9. Time and Flexibility is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
Issues around time and flexibility often center around family life. It did not get nearly the number of mentions as some of the other factors, but those who value time and flexibility strongly believe in its importance. Allow them to spend quality time with their families specially on their health.

10. Relationships with Co-workers is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!
This is also one of the best way of retaining the staffs through healthy relationships. Everyone is responsible for creating positive relationships with their co-workers. If an employee is having a difficult time with someone, they should reach out and try to fix the relationship. Socializing, eating lunch together, etc. are ways to form strong bonds with co-workers. Sometimes this extra time and effort goes a far way.

*Dear Principals and school managers*.......

Right after the recruitment process has come to a successful conclusion, a new challenge comes up for you. Recruitment process is not an end, it is a new challenge....
Increasing employee retention is pretty similar to the recruitment process insofar as both should be
1) structured
2) people-centred
3) results-driven
And your ultimate goal should be, Making sure your staff members are satisfied and engaged enough, they couldn’t even dream of moving elsewhere. And It is achievable. *Achieve this by keeping some of these points in mind*.

*1. IT'S ABOUT THE SKILLS AND THE PERSON* Obviously you want hire people with the right skills for the job, but whether a person is a good cultural fit is actually a better predictor of success and your new hire sticking around for at least a few years. But don't take the candidate's word for it. In your recruiting process be sure to include culture questions and ask your candidates' references about their work styles too. Here are some sample questions to help you understand a candidate's views on teamwork and leadership and can easily be adapted to conversations with references:
1. Give an example of a successful project that you were part of. What was your role? What made the project successful in your view? 2. Share a time when you experienced working with a difficult coworker on a team. How was the coworker difficult and what did you do to resolve the situation to encourage the team's ongoing progress? 3. Tell me about a time when you created agreement and shared purpose from a situation in which all parties originally differed in opinion, approach, and objectives. The above all Questions are culture fit Questions to assess an employee in an interview (keeping the core value is TEAM WORK). Some of the answers in expressions  of the candidates are given for your personal reference from which you can adjust your conclusions about the candidates before hiring. Cultural fit answers.... keeping core value of the organisation is TEAM WORK. When you assess cultural fit. The candidate: Expresses comfort, and even a preference, for working with and on teams, Articulates his or her strengths in a team environment or working on a team, Is able to discuss the role that he or she typically plays on a work team, Describes a level of comfort how co-workers or bosses view his or her contribution in a teamwork environment, Says we when describing accomplishments, Attributes the success of endeavors to the group, Does not say I and me in response to many questions, and When describing past approaches, problem-solving, achievements, endeavors, and projects, in response to other interview questions, includes forming a team or teamwork solutions as viable options.

*2.PROVIDE CONTINUOUS TRAINING AND UPSKILLING OPPORTUNITIES*
We can't stress enough how training is something that needs to be done right and consistently throughout the onboarding process. It must also be an ongoing process for all employees.  Someone you hired a couple years back needs to stay up to date  on all the latest developments, tools and technologies in their area of expertise.  Be sure you're helping them do their job better and helping them learn new skills that will get to the next level in their current role, get that promotion or even make a lateral switch if that's where they'd like to go. We are deliberating on this issue for quite a long time. What I particularly feel is that there can be end number of reasons for not being able to retain an employee or what actually they might expect. What cut across the line is that everyone's need and motivation level is highly individualised and we should address their needs after identifying them rationally. Moreover if we can give a personal touch and be available when they need us the most, probably that magic works. Employees will leave only when they will have no other option but to move. In that case attrition level will be reduced if not eliminated

*3. CLEARLY DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AT YOUR COMPANY*
This helps both leaders and employees manage expectations - and mismanaged expectations is one of the biggest reasons for people leaving their jobs.  Of course everyone has their own definition of success, but if your employees' definition of success is generally well aligned with the company's definition, you're more likely to have happy, engaged and sucessfull employees.

*4.FIND A RELIABLE WAY TO TRACK EMPLOYEE MORALE & ENGAGEMENT* Some schools  send out a yearly "employee engagement" survey, and we're not saying it's not a helpful tool, but in today's world of technology there are more consistent and reliable ways to check in on your employee's morale and engagement.  A yearly survey is a snapshot in time, highly influenced by the current climate at work and the previous couple months.  Why not regularly check in with your employees with small "pulse checks"? You're more likely to see trends form and catch warning signs before they snowball into bigger problems

*Conclusion:*

The Core of Human Resources should focus on a fine tuned approach of Attracting, Retaining, Motivating employees. Some ways to retain employees is through the following:

1. Attracting right employees, Recruitment is a very important function. First formal communication of an employee is with the Onboarding team/ Recruitment Specialist. The Recruitment process should be able to attract right talent & reward them equally with compensation & benefits (Similar jobs & similarly skilled employees have to be paid equally), Job opportunity (which utilises there skill & offers them a challenging job to scale up & realise there potential), Training & Development (should help or the employees perform there job better).

2. Employees can be motivated, by ensuring that employees who perform well are rewarded which encourages positive environment, increases productivity, boosts there morale. The HR processes systems should be capable enough to identify employees who need coaching, mentoring or a whole performance improvement program.

3. Leadership should be able to showcase the “Values/Principles” of the organisation. Let us say that the organisation supports the value of being Transparent/Fair or being ethical. These values should be underlining principles of all operations/transactions from a complicated exercise of negotiation with the client or a grievance handling with a contract based employees.

4. Employees should be encouraged to share there feedback through various means and Communication Channels like Employee satisfaction surveys, 1:1 Discussions etc. The suggestions should be implemented & rewarded (Based on the values & measuring the impact of these suggestions).

5. Employee wellbeing is also crucial (Employee wellbeing identifies the individual's happiness at work) A significant influence on their happiness level is their subjective opinions surrounding their job and their employer. The environment should encourage them to also balance there work life Offer them flexibility to also fulfil there personal goals through various initiatives & policies - Stress survey, Work from home , Working for specific hours in a week.

6. Retention at the same time can be very specific. The issue can be addressed by having a 1:1, group & leadership level discussions. Trend or Data Analysis which can suggest the required initiatives prior to a resignation.

Improvement In School Leadership

Leadership is an inherent quality to motivate,to channelize the masses  onto the right and God’s driven pathway of humanity.This is actually (apart from present scenario) the mode of conveyance of God’s messages to others, where educators are at the highest point of hierarchy of leadership chain in schools/colleges to guide,facilitate and motivate the teachers who are the leaders of students for the improvement in education system,we need the real heroes/facilitators/mentors to be jkust in their style of teaching,their way of providing the right kind of atmosphere for the growth and development of stakeholders.There is the need to adopt various strategies to fulfill all:

1. JUST BEHAVIOUR of the leader at every point with every other person keeping oneself strict to some “Code of Conduct”.
2. REGULAR TRAINING/BRAINSTORMING to be arranged for the upgradation of both leaders and teachers through conference/seminar and exchange programs even the lectures/demonstration to be planned for group D employees.
3. INCULCATION OF POSITIVES from various cultures and backgrounds of different countries, to have an open mind to adopt the new methods of teaching.
4. TECHNOLOGY ORIENTED leaders to be more experimental in their life by giving stress to the addition of more of innovative methods of curriculum in school curriculum.
5. OVERALL DEVELOPMENT through conduction of various activities,skill development programmes and various practical approaches like exchange programme,field study etc.
6. CODE OF CONDUCT is always to be maintained for all present in the organization starting from class IV to the highest management level.
7. THOROUGH INVOLVEMENT OF SCHOOL LEADER in classes with students and interactive session with the parents at different times,howsoever regular PTA’s meeting to be organized and parents need to be the part of certain plannings and their execution.
8. SPECIAL STRESS on the basic fundamentals of life by the educator time to time regarding good and healthy food,sound lifestyle and exercise/meditation.

School Administration - Dr. Sekar Srinivasan, Senior Principal.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

MEANING:

The term educational administration is very comprehensive. It is concerned with the formulation,e xecution and appraisal of educational policies. A school comes into being through the process of organizing and then comes its administration.

PURPOSE:
Running or functioning of the school is the job of head of the institution. This does not mean that only the head and none else is responsible for administration. The head is the leader who is to make all other follow him. Thus, educational administration is more or less a co-operative undertaking and in the language of economics it is a “non- profit making enterprise”.

DEFINITION:
Educational administration consists of facilitating the development of goals and policies basic to teaching and learning, stimulating the development of appropriate programs for teaching and learning and procuring and managing personnel and material to implement teaching and learning. Alternatively,“All those techniques and procedures employed in operating the educational organization in accordance with established policies is defined as admin. It is a social statesmanship which guides educational activities,plans and provides leadership in a long term but broad based social perspective.It is the process of utilizing appropriate materials in such a way as to promote effectively the development of human qualities.

A process concerned with creating, maintaining, stimulating, controlling and unifying formally and informally organized human and material energy within a unified system designed to accomplish predetermined educational objectives.

The eight areas which explains the scope of school administration includes the following:

1 .PRODUCTION:
Educational administration has to interpret the aims of education to the educational workers so that they may shape the final product of education (the achievement of pupils) in the desired form and shape

2. ASSURING PUBLIC USE:
It is the business of educational administration to define the operations
needed to make them known and promote them so that the final educational product is good for public and society.

3 .FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING:
It should record and measure the monetary and other resources invested in the
educational enterprise and also evaluate the inputs and outputs

4. PERSONNEL:
It is the framing and operation of policies and procedures for recruitment of workers
and maintenance of goodwill and personal relationships among them in order to ensure fullest interest , cooperation, moral and loyalty of all the persons working in the organization. This is especially important for educational enterprise where the whole work is centered round the impact of one type of human beings, the teachers, upon another type of human beings and students.

5. COORDINATION:
This is an important activity of educational administration. It ensures the close
interrelation and integration of all the functional activities of the organization such as personnel, finance and production of desired results such integration has to be
brought about not only in the structure of the organization but also in the attitudes and efforts of the workers, so that all of them pull together in the direction of the desired goals and achieve them.

6. CURRICULUM:
It is the means of achieving the goals of education. Educational administration has to deal with the problem of curriculum construction and its day to day development.It has to look after the continuous evaluation and progressive improvement of the educational programs which are urgently called for in view of the constantly going on scientific, technological and social changes. Administration has to pay close attention to the teaching-learning programs and processes and also to other instructional material. Important pupil services such as health, recreation and psychological services of testing and records, guidance and counseling and co-curricular activities etc.,have to be organized and administered for the benefit of the young.

7. PHYSICAL FACILITIES:
This comprise the area dealing with the problem of provision and maintenance of the school plant equipment and supplies their production, purchase, upkeep and accounting.

8. PUBLIC RELATIONS:
Education is a social enterprise which runs with the cooperation of students, teachers,parents and the community. Educational administration has to make each of them contribute to its due share to the success of the enterprise. It should therefore maintain effective public relations. This involves maintenance of records, information and bulletins about past achievement and future proposals. Administration should encourage community visitation and secure its participation and cooperation by a process of give and take ie, by utilizing community, resources and rendering useful services for
its welfare.

The above list and categorization are only suggestive and not exclusive. They are not arranged in any priority order as all others are equally necessary and important

Future of Education - Exponential Technologies

https://www.unglobalcompact.org/participation/report/cop/create-and-submit/detail/417441

Future of education - Exponential technologies

When we begin to embrace the idea of a future that looks very different from today, we can harness these powerful technologies to create exponential impact.

As we think about transformation of the education system that includes exponential technologies, its important that we scan the current landscape but also patrol the border between now and next to best understand the changes that will likely disrupt our world as we know it, including the way we educate and learn using technologies.

Exponential technologies have a tendency to move from a deceptively slow pace of development to a disruptively fast pace. We often disregard or dont notice technologies in the deceptive growth phase, until they begin changing the way we live and do business.

Driven by information technologies, products and services become digitized, dematerialized, demonetized and/or democratized and enter a phase of exponential growth.

The beginning of how exponential technologies are impacting,
 1) What we need to learn
2) How we view schooling and society
3) How we will teach and learn in the future.

Exponential Technologies Impact How We Teach and Learn Technologies like artificial intelligence, big data, and virtual and augmented reality are all poised to change the way we teach and learn both in the classroom and outside of it.

And while theres no lack of enthusiasm around the potential of using virtual reality to change education, we are just seeing the first baby steps toward what will eventually be the full use of the technology. Google Expeditions, which aims to take students on virtual field trips and its clear that technologies undergoing exponential growth are shaping the skills we need to be successful, how we approach education in the classroom, and what tools we will use in the future to teach and learn.

Exponential Technologies are Technologies that are progressing at an exponential pace Foundational literacies are essentially the basics: reading, writing, science, math, and the arts.

Competencies are often referred to as the four Cs- critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration-- the very things computers currently arent very good at. In a world where AI is becoming increasingly closer to a reality than a science fiction movie, reinforcing these skills are crucial to prevent all jobs from becoming automated.
In this list of 21st century skills, essential character qualities include curiosity, adaptability, and leadership to help students become active creators of their own lives, finding and pursuing what is personally meaningful to them. It is noted that the character quality of grit has become viewed as especially important as we transition into training students for a future we cannot yet fathom.

Technology can often be a barrier to teaching and learning.

Do Indian education system need a common and single board of education?

Sincere thanks to Mrs. Mili Ghosh, Mr. Reena Singh, Mr. S V Vohra, Mr. Pawan Gupta, Mr. Suresh, Mr. Chandan Kumar, Ms. Sweta Srivastava, Mrs.Bhuvana, 
Mr. Neeraj Gupta, Mr. Sanjay parmar, Mr. Shrinish Agnikothri and 
Mr. I AZEEZ.

A BIG YES!!! Let me explain why?

1.By Default choice: Rarely one opts for state boards out of choice. Anyone who opts for state board has two reasons;
(i) He/She can’t afford CBSE/ICSE school fees. Financial status. (ii) There is no CBSE/ICSE school in his/her area. Poor Remote and rural amenities such as transport, no of CBSE schools like state board schools at every 10 Kms....

2.Medium of  Higher Education is in English Only:  State Board students are taught translations of all subjects in their native language not in a very effective way. When we go for higher education, we have to begin from scratch. That’s the reason 90% of the unplaced students at IITs/NITs are those who belong to state boards, they are also very poor in communication skills in English. MNCs demand English, a good level of it. One must master it if one wants to work their. MNCs provide high paying jobs that lead to higher contribution to GDP per capita, higher expenditure on nutrition, education & health. That is what development means.

3. Quality study materials:  Highly Analytical & concept building books are available in English only. State Boards deprive their students of Books like Resnick Halliday & HC Verma in physics those are considered as world class standard in Physics.  Students’t pursue on their own because they have to write board exams in their native language & questions asked mostly belong to prescribed  books and book backs. That’s the reason why droppers after 12th are mostly from state boards. This makes students to prefer to refer of their own choice according to the prescription.

4. Cycle of poverty: One was poor, so opted for state boards. state boards make sure one becomes literate but not good enough skills. Education is supposed to be a ladder, an opportunity for the poor to break the shackles of poverty & unemployment.

5. Change/Update: Every education system needs change with time. There have been massive changes in question paper pattern, marking scheme, syllabus, teaching methodology etc. in central board syllabus. Whereas State boards of states have undergone negligible changes.  One shocking example is that some state boards teach Pustak Kala ( in which students learn book binding, how to makeglue, Seriously? where as central board teach C/C++/Java.

6. Anywhere and everywhere: A child from one state to another state can continue studies without change in the flow.

7. Online Resources:  It is on rise. All quality contents are available in English. Research papers are published in English. Quality and analytical news content & editorials are available in English. Good quality literature, films, TV series are in English.  Shall we wait for someone to translate these for us with his/her prejudices?

8. Loss to Indic languages?: No, indic languages are the languages of religion, culture, art, great traditions, literature and most importantly our language of communication. One can always pursue them as a subject, so is the provision & and always should remain so. But being realist, It's important to understand that the language of science & technology is English. I urge, Let it be.It's very much true and good to have common or single board system in our country. But not true and good in regional languages and history of the state. Subjects like history and languages...There are reasons why state governments should get involved in Education policy specially, with the central government.

What are those logics behind for involving the state governments and the boards of Education.?.

1. Education is listed in the concurrent list of the India Constitution. The state government as well as the central government can make laws regarding education.
2. Government expenditure on education is not sufficient in India. Citizens should have the right to choose education board which suit their economic conditions. NCERT goes according to the biased directions to frame the curriculum and syllabus specially in history and languages. NCERT alone cannot cater the history of the states, cultural values. They have to limit in few major areas. States say we are biased. Therefore formed SCERT, SCERT includes the history of the states more and limits the whole history.
3. Education is a fundamental right of a citizen in the country whether it is for degrees or values, depends on individuals.
4. To ensure education for all it should be provided to everyone in a way that is most suitable for them. For example, if a person can not attend school/college due to some reasons there has to be provisions to provide him education. We have distant education program/boards such as NIOS for such people.
5.Indian  is a land of diverse cultures. There are provisions in India which allow the states to contitute education boards and frame its own syllabus(under the supervision of NCERT) so as to preserve regional culture,languages,religious sentiments etc of the people concerned.
6.To expose Indian students to international standards International boards(CIE,IGCSE etc.) are allowed in the country.

Disadvantages and problems of having common syllabus system in our country
Now out thoughts are on..

1. One comittee cannot possibly decide what should be taught in schools to different kind of students all over the country. Monopoly may not be good. sometimes it may lead to befall of democracy. As an example....The rich dont want their kids to study the same stuff being taught to normal students. They want to look cool. Hence we have International Baccalaureate. (on a serious note, its just to be closer to the west in case you want to go there)
2.  People in different regions are inclined to certain professions (this might sound absurd and unbelievable). We have normal 12th standard in some areas, junior college in some, and coaching for colleges in other regions. As an example from my observations,  Mumbai is full of all kinds of coaching, Andhra Pradesh concentrates on engineering, Bihar on IAS, and Delhi on CBSE boards because Delhi University admissions depend on it.
3. Other answers pointed out that Education is on the Concurrent list. So, i would like to add one more point to this. Separate states have different cultures and different heritage, so the administration wants that the students of their states should the importance of their state too along with the nation, for e.g. I am a resident of Tamilnadu, I saw the TN Board books there wasn't much difference in the courses of PCM where it really differed was the literature part, we in CBSE are taught more reputed and regarded writers whereas the Tamil literature part in this board contained the works of writers who belonged to the state and made this state proud. The TNSB wants the students to know about them, if we go to some other state they would want to teach about their heritage and culture. Precisely why there are so many board of educations and each board has a slightly different curriculum.

Some of my thoughts include:

Our strength is unity and diversity. We do have varied culture and traditions. Still we are one. We are brothers and sisters. Our Question is like Its same like asking "Why India has so many languages?" Education, as with language, are devised or developed as part of cultural, historical, geographical and socio-economic scenarios. Different educational boards provide enough space to regional feelings which we, Indians have so much grown to love! Today we seek common syllabus in Education and tomorrow in language and day after tomorrow common religion and it never ends. Then where our unity in diversity stand. While countries, which have this unified culture, language, religion etc., have multiple boards, it is imperative for India to have too. By having more boards, our students are having a choice. Incase of a single board, there will be no choice for a student who doesn’t like the curriculum of the board. Now, I will have at my hand the ability to choose among various curriculums. I can choose the best one which fits me, according to my tastes, interests and ability. These choices are not even given to angels in the heaven. But our country is giving us the choices to choose. In response to the choices offered,
what we can do in return is....

Mainly, let us focus on the standard and the quality of education a school should maintain.

Let us  not only focus on quality education but also should offer a platform for dynamic personality development of the students.

Let us create such a environment where girls or boys can study together under a single roof.

It helps to develop the mutual understanding, confidence level and equality among students.

Let’s forget classes and think of the masses.

Once schools start providing quality education at an affordable price , the rich and creamy layer must be left free to go anywhere even abroad.

There is no data to reveal that IB and IGCSE or for that sake any other board is producing quality citizens except for better spoken English.

We wish to be best part in teachership of the world. Our dreams soon shall be realised if we focus on our system of Education.

Schools those are providing fecilities are also included. Rather than the fatty salary if a school assures job security, it would be better. Just seeking for simple hike, one has to jump over here and there.

Methods to curb indiscipline practices in schools

Methods to curb indiscipline practices in schools

AZEEZ, Pooma Educational Trust.

Thank you SC Vohra sir, Anis sir, Anil kurup sir, Faiz mmji, Ishrath mmji, Bhuvana mmi, Vineeth sir,  Archna mmji, Azra mmji, Pawan Gupta sir, Lava sir, Biju sir, Geetha mmji, Preeti Pandey mmji, Piyush TRIPATHI, Jagmander mmji, Abhishek sir, Neeraj Gupta sir, priti mm,  S I khan sir, Ravinder Kaur mmji, Durga Nair mmji, Suryavathi mmji, Phani mmji, Sekar Seenivasan sir,  Zeeba Taslim mmji, Mili mmji, SWETA SRIVASTAVA mmji, Supriya mmji, Vinit sir, Shrinish Agnikothri sir, Abhishek sir.....and all our group members for made this discussion a very informative one.

The purpose of this discussion/ research is to examine the familiar or common forms, the causes and probable ways to curb indiscipline in schools. The results of our discussion showed that the familiar and common types of indiscipline as disobedience to teachers and school prefects included collective misconduct of students and unacceptable habits. Students’ indiscipline behaviours can be  classified on three bases: 1. students-based, 2.society-based and 3. school- based causes.

In developing nations, indiscipline  among students  studying in secondary schools have  been a major and continuous problem. Because secondary school children are in the period of transition. During this adolescent period, they do not know about what they do. We are responsible for their irresponsible acts. Here we MEANS....all - Our Government of states and central,  Educationists, Educatos, policy makers, school administrators and parents....we are responsible for their behaviours in the school. In this period even they are unaware  importance of their existence to their parents as children, teachers as students and above all an asset to the country and as a future leaders to lead the country. If we do start punishing them for their act of indisciplines, 80%of secondary school children should be kept behind the bar. Then who will be the future Educationists and leaders for our next generation.

Indiscipline problem comes only in secondary and senior secondary school levels. Let us work on it to curb. It's unlike an  issue as eradicating polio or poverty. It is the problem everyone of us came through. Everyone of us underwent. This problem is the byproduct of adolescence. Whoever attains this age are causes for the indiscipline practices. If we need no such act of indisciplines at the school level, we need to admit school children at the age above adolescents, above the age 20 in schools. Is this possible as we say that the learning process takes place in children below the age of adolescence. We have to face such sure problems every year as our generation is crossing the state of adolescence. Or We can plead God otherwise to erase  the period of adolescence in human life cycle. Is it possible?. Rather we should prepare as educators to tolerate and save their life  from their lifestyles as we are saved by someone. We are now as we are because of our teachers who tolerated us as Indisciplined students. Rather we start enjoying the differences in them than showing differences. Still we can have solutions to it. Indiscipline is the root cause which is prevalent in our schools these days and this can only be checked only if we make distance with our taught and treat them as a third person  We must check our students in a proper way so that they feel that their scope of life is not deserted. Each child today need a space ... To live in .....and if it is deserted ...he/she challenges it with a tempo. Just as poison kills poison, indiscipline among students need to be curbed with the help of students only. At various levels - junior , middle and senior , discipline committees comprising of good , honest and effective students with one or two  sincere dedicated and competent teacher incharges be made who monitor the activities of students in canteens , playgrounds corridors and all such places furtively. One or two effective PTIs can be given the duty of keeping a strict vigil during school time. Frequent meetings of such committees be conducted to apprise the situation. Collective meetings with senior students at least twice a month be conducted tolisten to their grievances and take their opinions on prevailing situation can also be helpful. In case of exceptionally indisciplined students their parents must be taken into confidence directly. Appointment of quality teachers with strong ethics also proves helpful. The head should never turn a blind eye on any activity of indiscipline howsoever small. Immediate and effective action must be taken without losing any time. Classrooms should be closely monitored through CCTVs and immediate assistance provided to teachers facing difficulty in class management. Erring students be called to the principal’s office and shown video recordings. Corporal punishment and public chastisement must be avoided. Services of counsellos be taken from time to time. Doors of dialogue be kept open in any situation. Morning assembly addresses by the head and eminent personalities on values also go a long way in curbing indiscipline. Above all the head and the staff should collectively deal with any problem as a team. No blame game and fault finding be done. The percentage of students who drop out of school in most urban and rural areas of our country, is on an increase. These students cultivate and demonstrate deviant behaviours and may never fulfill their potentials. They become burdens to the society.  There is an outcry of Indian educators, administrators and parents in 90 s about the increasing rate of indiscipline in  secondary schools. This observation unsettles the mind of patriotic educators since children are considered the future leaders of the country. 

As a result, any attempt to curb students’ indiscipline in school would be highly welcomed by the government, educators, parents, teachers and school administrators. The cause of indiscipline in our society is due to dropouts which we can't forget it. An educator who is responsible for creating a school without indisciplined has a responsibility to ensure a good society also. The public presumes that schools are the preferred environment to transform productive and useful citizens of any nations. 

One can say that discipline comes through effective management of an organisation. Indiscipline on the other hand is any act that diverges from the acceptable societal norms and values. It is a violation of school rules and regulations which is capable of obstructing the smooth and orderly functioning of the school system.  It is important to note that an Indisciplined child is an uncontrollable child and can do any damage to the society than a school.

Studies portray that different types of indiscipline behaviour among which include the following acts:  boycotting of lessons, watching and practicing pornography, lies telling, violence, dishonesty, disobedient to teachers, prefects, and school administration, rapping school/class mates, alcohol consumption, confronting and stabbing teachers in schools, vandalism, lateness to school, cultism, drug abuse, insulting/assaulting, stealing, rioting; among others. The extent to which students’ indiscipline behaviours in school are correlated with are not known whether these influenced emanate from the perspectives of their peer group, their parents’ socioeconomic achievements, parent’s attitude, teacher’ attitude, school culture, climate and environment; and the magnitude of disorder it triggers in school and what strategies should be put in place to curb this deviant behaviour. Recently students selecting their porn stars whereas we are as students used to select cinestars, itself was an indiscipline. Now what can we say about it. In co educational institutions,. relationships between girls n boys too are reaching to a new level...Attractions at adolescence is understandable but due to uncontrollable usage of internet, today's children are exposed to everything which is not meant for their age. Adverse effect of Bollywood movies on the tender minds of these children too can't be ignored. Coeducational system in Education exist for breaking the gender biases among the students. Relationship goes beyond between them is of social problem.

The major causes for a school may be from my point of view as,
1. Harsh school rules and regulations.
2. Unconducive school environment.
3. Poor leadership of some school administrators.
4. Lack of extra-curricular activities.
5. Poor teaching by some teachers.
6 Teachers lateness and absenteeism.
7 Overcrowded classroom.

Where are the society based factors that cause indiscipline in our schools?
1 Poor value system in family.
2 Injustice in the society revealed by favouritism and corruption
3 Unwholesome mass media.
4 Unsatisfactory home condition in some homes.
5 Parental over protection of children.
6 Parental rejection of children.
First of all...all the rules must be framed for which there will be regular follow up by the volunteers and teachers of the school. Yes ,being volunteer will control themselves from going on wrong track.

Some areas we need to pay in attention is as follows:
1 Moral leadership and education.
2 School authorities to be of good models.
3 Provision of adequate facilities for teaching, games and sports.
4 Involvement of students in making rules and regulations.
5 Reduction of class size.
6 Value re-orientation.
7 Effective Parents Teachers Association (PTA).
8 Emphasis on extracurricular activities.
9 Positive teacher/students relationship.
10 Provision of ICTs and internet in schools.
11 High parental and school supervision and counseling.
12 Enforceable rules & regulation.

We need changes in our school system.
Schools are
The provision of moral leadership and moral education in the schools, value re- orientation in the society, provision of adequate facilities for teaching, games and sports, reduction of class size, establishment of functional and effective parents-teachers association in schools, emphasis on extracurricular activities, positive teacher-student relationship, provision of information communication technologies and internet facilities, high parental and school supervision, counselling and through enforceable school rules and regulations and involvement of students in decision making as well as in formulating school rules and regulations. If Yoga and Meditation is made compulsory for students and teachers, health and cleansing the inner self will be  taken care of. Mind is the index all our behavior. If that is controlled and chanalised, many of our issues are solved.

Conclusion:
The result of the discussion  revealed that the common types of indiscipline in our schools as cases of insubordination to school authority such as assault and insult on teachers and non-teachers and assault on school prefects. The most common cases of indiscipline relating to the collective misbehaviour of students such as the vandalization of school properties and mass protest, while the common cases of indiscipline relating to poor habits of students are speaking of unparliamentary languages, chewing gum in class, fighting, wearing dirty and wrong clothing hair cutting contrary to the official school rules and examination malpractice.

In addition to this,
1.  As regards the students based causes of indiscipline, the result of the discussion showed that constant negative labels on students, abuse of seniority by school prefects, students poor study habits and students restlessness and inattention in class were the major factors. The excess energy accumulated by children kept passive and inactive for long tends to make them inattentive in class and restless. In addition, students may become restless and inattentive when lessons are boring due to acute shortage of instructional facilities and problems of curriculum. The use of constant negative labels on students by the teachers can make them to begin to build low self-concept by developing a negative frame of mind. Such student may begin to see himself as one who cannot perform well whenever the teacher is in the class, become deliberately rude to the teacher and may be withdrawn from activities. A school and it's components such as teachers, administrators and non teaching staffs are held responsible for the students based and school Based indisciplines. But we are narrow in accepting this and thinking beyond and including social based causes for indisciplines in the school circuit. Social and family based causes are of their parents and family backgrounds and culture of the child from which the child is a byproduct and political background.....In addition to that school based causes of indiscipline revealed by this discussion are teachers’ lateness and absenteeism in class, overcrowded classrooms, unconducive school environment, unenforceable school rules and regulations, poor teaching and poor leadership by school administrators. It is reported that unconducive school environment characterized by an acute shortage of facilities for teaching, games and sports, unrealistic school rules were the causes of indiscipline. Rules and regulations are meant to guide and control activities in school but when they become too much and unenforceable, they tend to breed indiscipline.

Unless and untill the education system which encourages teaching methods which inculcate practical or Playway techniques  by which intrests of students in studies are maintained , we can not make students deciplined . Students comes from different backgrounds and have different limitations. We being teaching fraternity of experts should be in position to convert bad into good. It is not very easy and is time consuming too but it is not a rocket science too. If we follow the   suggestions given by moderator things can be brought under control. Behavioural assessment of both students and teachers is must for any educational system but who cares. It's high time,the students and the teachers should be groomed regularly to achieve their individual goals respectively. The society based causes of indiscipline as parental overprotection of children, poor value system, and injustice in the society indicated by the practice of favouritism, and corruption, unwholesome mass media and unsatisfactory home condition. The poor value system in society which no longer honour the hard work and meritorious services are responsible for the breakdown of law and order in schools. Unsatisfactory home condition breeds in children, a feeling of insecurity and frustration and thus contributing to the formation of deviant behaviour which they manifest at school. Some parents are too busy to keep their eyes on their children. Their children go out at will and return home any time they like. They do not even bother about the type of friends their children keep. Their children become morally loose. In school, such children have no respect for school rules and regulations and even they exhibit absolute disrespect for school authority. The  possible solutions to curb indiscipline in schools are providing  provision of moral leadership and moral training, value re-orientation, provision of adequate facilities for teaching games and sports, establishment of effective and functional Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), reduction in class size, schools emphasizing extra￾curricular activities, involving students in making rules policies that affect them, positive teacher-students relationships, provision of ICTs and internet connectivity, high parental and school supervision and counselling and enforceable school rules and regulations. Teachers must appreciate, understand and accept today’s students. As a result, the social distance between the students and teachers should be reduced. In addition, with the provision of ICTs and internet connectivity in schools, students will spend most of their extra time searching for information and expanding knowledge rather than loitering about during such free periods.
Some recommendations:
It is imperative to ensure that the good behaviour and conditions are inculcated, established and maintained for effective learning in schools.

Consequently this group study proffers the following recommendations:
• The government policy makers, education reformers and school administrators should ensure that schools are provided with adequate facilities for teaching and learning, sports and games as well as information communication technologies and internet connectivity.
• Concerted efforts of stakeholders such as parents, teachers' non-governmental organizations, educational authorities, corporate bodies, past students and government should be made to find a lasting solution to the social menace.
• School administrators, parents and teachers must show good examples to students since they imitate and copy their behaviour.
• School administrators, teachers and parents should reduce indiscipline through increased supervision. Support staff can be used to assist teachers in classroom supervision especially in large classrooms.
• In cases of serious misconducts, parents of children should be invited to the school by the administrators.
• Teachers should correct students’ mistakes with love rather than label them negatively.
• School curriculum should emphasize moral education for good character training.
• School administrators and teachers should provide moral leadership in schools.
• There should be re-orientation of the wider Cameroonian society. If the society is disciplined, the micro society will be disciplined.
• Parents, the school and religious bodies that are charged with moral training of children should ensure that sound moral education is given to children.

And some recommendations are:

1.Children should read  biography of at least one great person each month to inculcate  good value system in his habits.2.Teachers will have to stop taking tuition.
3.Principal and teachers should reach in time to school or in periods.
4.There should be a strong connection between parents and teachers.
5.An ownness is required in all members of discipline committee towards school .
6.Neglegence of staff members is the cause of no. of indisciplinary activities.
7.Each and every duty can't be given in written form.
8.Staff sustainability is must.
9.Training program for management people must be made compulsory , without L.O.C. should not be taken.
10.Atleast S.O.P. s must be checked by Board  online of each school.
11.Parents want their children to read in big school,but reminder for fees hurts them
,then they criticize school authorities in front of child,who also learns in later period to abuse the system.
12.Orientation pgms for parents must be made compulsory.
13.If parents can't come in PTM s, school should approach them.
14.Such management who can't give good salaries to teachers , should be shut down.At least the person won't be exploited.
Rather he would earn more somewhere else.In the name of public welfare ,some management people make huge amount and pay less to teachers.
15.Forums should hear on a faster pace about employee s problem.Some management s treat badly when employee leaves them.Frustration in employees causes indisciplin to spread.
16.District administration should initiate anti narcotics agitation amongst students in place of buttering to local politicians.
17.Everything is curable , provided will should be there.Where there is will ,there is the way.
18.School authorities would have to come with openness to expose indisciplin done by a child, instead of hiding it.
19.Students should be given motivational lectures to create high aspirations in their thoughts.
20.All problematic students should be dealt with calm and peaceful mind.

Our school is a micro society from where miraculous changes in our main society cannot be expected. We Educators are very sure that school based indiscipline problem never enters into society. It reflects nowhere in the society or family. Therefore it is nothing wrong from our side  expecting social causes of  indiscipline practices and family causes of indiscipline  enter into our school system. We educators should get panic or problem of facing school's unrelated causes of indiscipline practices in schools. We should not mixup and endsup in mess.  School causes of indiscipline practices are different and social causes of indiscipline practices are different and family causes of indiscipline practices are different. Coeducational system in Education exist for breaking the gender biases among the students. Relationship goes beyond between them is of social problem. Of course it reflects in schools and in the process of children's education. Here we can hear and console the child but we can give any kind of solutions to the problems. It's not possible also. When we handle the problems out of our bound, social and family causes of indiscipline practices become school causes of indiscipline practices. Would you like to have additional dimensions of indiscipline practices in schools?

AT LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MYSELF SOME QUESTIONS?
1. Am I a real educator? Are my fraternity is true to discipline practices?
2. Still I am behind fake promotions and accepting awards and rewards which is of untrue in nature, for which I am not deserved?
3. Still I am behind and getting awards and rewards by paying bills. Am I not indisciplined in my act of practices?
4. Still I am contesting in Mrs India contest being a Principlal and showing off and projecting myself as a beauty queen. Is not indiscipline practice?
5.Still I am considering my colleagues as my weekend dating partners to go to puffs. Is not indiscipline practice?
6. Still I am getting from my students gifts and valuable things for free of cost. Is not indiscipline?
7. Still I am creating castism, regional bias and religious misbeliefs in my students mind, everything I make it to hide my inefficiency.Is not indiscipline practice?
8. Still I am wearing jeans, T shirts and playing a role of youths and adults and passing comments. Is not my indiscipline practice?
9. Still I smoke in public, in schools, and go to adult movies in theatres.Is not my indiscipline practice?

We don't have any rights on our students to be well disciplined. They are far and far better than us. Because their deeds unknown to them. From where they do learn such indisciplined practices?. They learn from us as they learn English, Physics, chemistry......from us.

Tears are sporting on my cheeks as I felt my indisciplined practices knowingly or unknowingly spoiled my generation under my care. We are answerable to all our malpractices to God one day. Moral justice says, if an innocent is hanged for his malpractices only once means, an educator should be hanged for 10 times for his/her malpractices because he/she is well educated. No good souls are now a days to wash our sins with their blood.

Easy teaching of CBSE 12 syllabus

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.

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.

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.
