Hey ,

I am participating in

Edgroom's Educators Excellence Awards - 2024

Here are the reasons why you should vote for me!

What are your primary teaching methods (e.g., lecture, discussion, project-based learning, etc.)? How do you combine these methods to create an effective learning environment?

As I teach 11th and 12th-grade students preparing for JEE, my primary teaching method is lecturing. However, I believe in the importance of active learning. To enhance understanding, I incorporate activities and visual aids like videos into my lessons, especially when introducing complex concepts. This blended approach of lecture, activity, and visual learning has proven effective in making challenging topics accessible to students.

What instructional materials and resources do you use to enhance student learning (e.g., textbooks, technology, activities)?

To master Physics, consistent practice is essential. I provide students with comprehensive study materials and offer additional worksheets for those who excel. To supplement classroom learning and clarify complex concepts, I share informative videos. This multi-faceted approach ensures students develop a strong foundation in the subject.

In your opinion how AI(artificial intelligence) is going to help Teachers in making learning a more effective.

AI has been an invaluable tool for me in understanding the practical applications of Physics. I believe educators can significantly benefit from harnessing AI's potential. By incorporating AI into teaching, teachers can deepen their subject knowledge and develop innovative instructional strategies. AI offers a wealth of creative ideas to make learning engaging and effective. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the integration of AI in the classroom to enhance the overall learning experience.

Describe your strategies for motivating and engaging students in learning.

Physics becomes truly engaging when connected to real-world applications. I initiate each lesson with thought-provoking questions to stimulate curiosity. By emphasizing the relevance of each chapter to students' lives, I aim to foster a deeper understanding of the subject. To encourage independent learning, I conclude each class with a research-based question that prepares students for the next session. Regular quizzes further solidify their knowledge and maintain engagement.

How do you support students with different learning styles and abilities?

Building strong rapport with students is fundamental to effective teaching. By understanding their unique learning styles, whether they are expressive or reserved, I can tailor my instruction accordingly. Providing personalized attention to those who require extra support ensures that all students thrive. I believe fostering a supportive and connected classroom environment is essential for student success.

What are the flaws in our present education system in India and what are your suggestions to improve it?

Our education system's overemphasis on exam scores has led to rote learning at the expense of genuine understanding. Subjects like Physics demand practical exploration, often hindered by traditional classroom setups. To adapt to the rapidly changing world, we must shift focus from mere certification to skill development. Incorporating subjects like finance, marketing, technology, and economics into the school curriculum is essential. By prioritizing hands-on learning and practical knowledge, we can better equip students for future challenges.
