Dear Educators,Understand the concept of break activities. A very commonly practiced corporate principle which is used to create a break activity between two phases of activities which might be of very different nature. Alternatively, they can also be used to bind a group of people together for a common activity. A class or a lecture is surely one such type of activity. At #IITDelhi, I had the opportunity to attend the lectures of a very famed professor, who is known for his teaching methodology. His teaching style included starting the class with a 5 minute music piece. Initially it was difficult to ascertain if there was anything more than just a casual class to it. But later on, there was one big advantage I felt myself. the small 5 minute music session, cut me off from my pre-class activities and thoughts and bound me with the rest of the class. There was a "common object" between all of us now. And then when the lecture begun, we all were right into the discussions. The class ended with a music piece too, hinting our minds that an activity was over. I don't know if the professor meant to do this or not. But I have certainly had this lesson from that lecture. And I deem it an invaluable lesson in my academic life. You can ping me to know more about such breakout activities. Comment below if you know other ways of binding the class into one entity before you begin your lectures. #100daysofeducators101, Day 3#100daysofeducators101 is a 100 day learning series aimed at collating and sharing the best practices of the academia from an educator's point of view.

Why are drawing and music left out as important processes of literacy? This is a conversation I was blessed to have with an amazing innovator in early education Louise Debreczeny, Ed.D. Thrilled she took the time to share her insights and mail me a beautiful copy of her innovative Story Pictures learning system. As we look at our common processes for learning how to teach reading and writing it takes outside the box thinkers to step back and question WHY do we do it this way? Is this method of learning and teaching truly in the best interest of the child, or are we just doing it because it’s how we were taught and change is hard? I believe both music, second language acquisition and drawing are imperative to a holistic approach to educating children from birth, and educators in diverse fields need to start having conversations and collaborations. America has a long way to go to truly become leaders in education, and it seems we are falling behind other countries quickly. I don’t claim to have all the answers. My specialization is in the importance of early music education. But I know the only way we can find solutions, each through our own gifts and talents, is through starting the conversations and collaborations. I look forward to reading this innovative approach incorporating drawing into education and look forward to learning and collaborating with other educators in diverse fields. What ways do you think we can work to improve and innovate in education? #earlychildhoodeducation #preschooleducation #musiceducation #innovationineducation #collaborativelearning

Teaching: The Symphony of Reciprocal LearningAs an educator, the classroom is my stage, where teaching is more than a monologue—it's a symphony. Over five years, navigating this intricate orchestra has been a tale of patience, generational mingling, and unraveling the enigmatic world of teenage emotions.Patience is not just a virtue; it's the conductor's baton orchestrating the diverse learning paces in my classroom. Each student, akin to a unique instrument, adds their tempo to our harmonious ensemble.Engaging with diverse generations is like composing a multigenerational opera—each experience, a note in the symphony of perspectives, enriching both students and educators alike.Deciphering teenage emotions? It's akin to a theatrical pursuit, blending empathy and detective skills to navigate the labyrinth of adolescent feelings.Teaching isn't a solo act; it's a duet of learning. Students are the maestros of curiosity, inspiring continual adaptations and innovations in teaching methods.In the grand circus of education, the classroom becomes a spectacle—a carnival where the trapeze of knowledge and the clownery of learning intertwine in a whimsical display.#teaching #efucation #personaldevelopment #teachingjourney #learningsymphonyImage created by Bing Image Creator

“We’re preparing #children for a world that doesn’t exist.” The message that came across loud and clear from business leaders, cultural figures, scientists and #teachers was that the education system is not delivering what the economy needs, what #parents want or what #pupils deserve. The way people shop, work, travel, bank and watch television has changed utterly over the past decade but #schools have failed to keep pace. Sir James Dyson, the inventor, told the [Times Education] commission that the economy would continue to flatline without a greater focus on creativity, originality and innovation in education. “Children are creative. They love building and making things. But as they get closer to GCSEs and A-levels all that is squashed out of them,” he said. “It’s all about rote-learning, not using your imagination. The system doesn’t measure creativity; it measures what you can remember of other people’s facts.” The Times 🎵 🎹 🎵A well-rounded, tech savvy, entrepreneurial life-long learner.These are the aims for 21st century education.And it starts with bringing innovation into the classroom.Sing Education couldn’t agree more.

Be wary of learning experiences that feel as though they are catered to you. Be wary of information that is diced into little chunks so you can digest it easily. Be wary of teachings that are fully formed and require little to no involvement.Click the link below for my latest Substack post on finding your own original thought. https://lnkd.in/dTi8WeUD
