   Mr. Pramod Mahajan,
   Principal, Podar International School, Kalyan

   "Classroom management should be Inductive for adaptation, there should
      be wide scope for divergent thinkers, no doubt it should be child
    friendly but innovative tactics should be there so that the child is
                      forced to think beyond the box."

    "The classroom environment should not be tedious; there should be lot
     of interactions in the positive direction to enhance learning, the
                  application level and creative thinking."

                          [3]Personalised Learning

   The term "Personalized Learning" is a buzz word that educators use as
   an alternative to "one size fits all" teaching. Personalised Learning
   puts the needs of students FIRST! Personalised Learning honours each
   student as an individual learner, recognizes that each student has his
   or her own learning style, unique gifts, interests, aspirations, and
   challenges to learning, and supports each student to learn in his or
   her own unique way.

                 [4]Creating a Positive Learning Environment

   Many forces combine to create a classroom's learning environment. This
   environment could be positive or negative, efficient or inefficient.
   Much of this depends on the plans you have in place to deal with the
   forces that effect this environment. The following list looks at each
   of these forces in order to help teachers better understand these
   forces and how to help ensure that they do not negatively affect the
   classroom learning environment.

                     [6]Understanding And Managing Anger

                            [7][Oct12_image3.jpg]

       UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING ANGER is an interactive workshop for
     teachers or parents or both, which discusses anger and its various
    facets - the emotion, expression, patterns and root causes that drive
      us to anger. It offers a deep analysis of the emotion and ways to
              manage it, to make us calmer and more effective.
   The workshop includes the screening of the award-winning International
               film 'THE SUBTEXT OF ANGER', by Vandana Kohli.

      Joy of Giving Week Celebration by students

   [Oct12_image4.jpg]
   Students along with some teachers went on a beach cleaning drive, a day
   after the Ganpati Visarjan. It was appalling to know that the beaches
   were all strewn with the remains of the idol of the God whom we revered
   for ten days. We made an effort to clean the beach. It was heartening
   to know that there were many who had a genuine concern for the
   environment.
      Teacher's Day celebrations at The Creek Planet School, Hyderabad

   [Oct12_image5.jpg]   The students of grade X dressed up like teachers,
   in colourful dresses and looked handsome and beautiful. They conducted
   classes. No doubt they imitated their Teachers!! Later they felicitated
   their teachers in the traditional manner, which was followed by a
   Cultural programme. The teachers were given a sumptuous lunch by the
   Management. After the yummy lunch the Management invited each teacher
   on to the dais describing their best qualities and showed their
   appreciation by felicitating them and presenting them with lovely
   gifts.
