<p>Named as the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, is probably the only leader in India even a child recognizes. He flashes his smile from our currencies through schools to government offices. The great leader who saved our country from the British tentacles was assassinated on January 30th, 1948. And we observe his death anniversary as Marty’s day.</p>
<h2 id="introduction">Introduction:</h2>
<p>Empire building is not a noble pursuit. The mainstay of conquering and ruling a relatively harmless group of people is bloodshed and violence. World history is blemished with overambitious and greedy rulers taking what is not rightfully theirs. From Sargon of Akkad to Muhammad of Ghazni, conquerors are notoriously infamous for leaving crimson trails in their wake. Tears, cries, smoldering rubles, and eventual oppression manifest from their ravenous appetite for ruling everything in their sight.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The most insatiable empire in the world was the British, pushing even the bloodthirsty Mongol warlord Genghis Khan to second place. At their zenith, the British empire ruled 25% of the total landmass of the planet. Known for their voraciousness and highly-trained and disciplined soldiers, they aggressively expanded their territories far from their home.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Gandhi-Ji-Visiting-Foreign-Countriesicacrxrb.jpg" alt="Gandhi Ji Visiting Foreign Countries" width="853" height="453"></p>
<p>And India was one of their lucrative colonies, if not the most. It is estimated that they have taken $45 trillion worth of India’s resources in today’s exchange rates. With the money that high, it is not surprising that they did not want to leave India peacefully when its citizens wanted independence from them. They, in fact, did everything in their power to oppress people and forcefully rule over them. Many Indians died at their hands, the most notorious among their history Amritsar Massacre.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Jaliwala-Baghfv0fywco.jpg" alt="Jaliwala-Bagh" width="853" height="453"></p>
<p>So how do you free your country from a power that is greedy, ambitious, and well-equipped, and who doesn’t even bat an eye before slaughtering thousands and thousands of people? Enter Mohandas Gandhi, a feeble man, armed with non-violence and a strong sense of justice. Not only did he convince the British to surrender what they had wrongly taken, but he also proved to the world that evil could be defeated without any weapons—many civil rights activists, including Martin Luther King. Jr and Nelson Mandela adopted Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence and achieved victory in their fight for justice in their own countries.</p>
<h2 id="whoishe">Who is he?</h2>
<p>Born in Porbandar, Gujarat, to an upper-class family, Gandhi was well-respected in his circles from a young age. As was the tradition back then, his parents got him married at the tender age of thirteen. Again, to fulfill his parents’ wish, he traveled to England at the age of 19 to study law and became a lawyer. He was given work in the South African law office, where he witnessed prejudice against Indians and the people who did it getting away with impunity. These unjustifiable actions served as an instigator for his steadfast belief in fighting against what is morally wrong, later making him a civil rights activist.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Gandhi-Ji-Childhood-Photo520rzcel.jpg" alt="Gandhi Ji Childhood Photo" width="853" height="453"></p>
<h2 id="nonviolentmovement">Non-Violent movement:</h2>
<p>Gandhi knew that there were many freedom fighters before him, battling against the powerful British, only to die as heroes. But Gandhi wanted to save his country, and he was certain that his people did not have the power to wage war against the British. So he decided to use disobedience and non-violence protests as his cardinal tools to recover the country from the British’s clutches. These small protests and campaigns, though they might seem insignificant on their own, creating a shockwave. Factories, government offices, and transportation of goods were halted without warning, impacting the British Empire’s financial nerve.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Gandhi-Ji-Statue-1okyhg5ww.jpg" alt="Gandhi Ji Statue" width="853" height="453"></p>
<p>The most famous and successful protest Gandhi conducted was the Salt March when the British taxed salt. Tens and thousands of Indians joined Gandhi, garnering people’s attention even from the remotest parts of the country. British tried to stop him by incarcerating him on bogus charges. He would protest even when in prison by not eating. And the British, fearing that he may die, always released him when he stopped eating because Indians had started believing that Gandhi was their savior. If something were to happen to him, the bloodshed would have been unimaginable.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By not giving up and strictly following the path of non-violence, Gandhi made the British agree to leave the country on August 15th, 1947, which we celebrate as Independence Day.</p>
<h2 id="accomplishments">Accomplishments:</h2>
<ol>
<li>He led the fight against racial discrimination in India and Africa.</li>
<li>Succeeded in making the British suspend tax in Kheda, Gujarat.</li>
<li>He was a progenitor of the non-cooperation movement.</li>
<li>Salt March to Dandi.</li>
<li>An avid reader and writer, he wrote a whopping 50,000 pages on various social issues.</li>
<li>He started the Quit India Movement of 1942, which would eventually result in the British leaving India.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Though he was from the upper caste, he hated untouchability and the segregation of ‘low’ caste people. In the end, he succeeded, and untouchability became a crime.</li>
</ol>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Be-the-change2pk6bg7m.jpg" alt="Be the change" width="853" height="453"></p>
<h2 id="demise">Demise:</h2>
<p>One fateful evening, on January 30th, 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was shot by Nathuram Vinayak Godse during a prayer ceremony in New Delhi. His funeral procession was 8 kilometers long, and thousands of people attended it, their cries thundering the India Gate. Like how his birthday was celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence, the date of his unfortunate demise was observed as Marty’s day.</p>
<h2 id="othernotablemartyrs">Other Notable Martyrs:</h2>
<p>Though Gandhi played a vital part in the Indian Freedom Struggle, he was not the only one to die to free us. Thousands gave their lives to the cause, some famous, others nameless. The list can be found here. A few notable mentions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bhagat Singh.</li>
<li>Sukhdev</li>
<li>Rajguru</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion:</h2>
<p>Kids can learn a lot from our fallen martyrs. Qualities like persistence, hard work, and sacrifices can be taught to kids using our martyrs as examples. Parents have the responsibility to show their kids the struggle our ancestors suffered at the hand of the British. This will give them perspective and use the freedom responsibly. Thinking about martyrs, they would want to be selfless and work towards eradicating social issues, giving rise to many Gandhi is in the future.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Education is most vital in the fast-evolving world of today. As <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/parent-resources/curriculum-comparisons/data-analytics-for-student">students</a> undergo their years of schooling, teachers are the ones who pave the path for them to succeed. But how should a teacher be able to make the very experiences of learning fun, exciting, and meaningful? The answer lies in innovative teaching strategies that would not only provide education but also inspire and motivate the students.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this blog, different techniques to motivate students have been identified, motivational stories for students shared, and further, it has been underlined that how different and innovative methods of teaching create a big difference in the classroom.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Innovative Methods of Teaching &ndash; Why Are These So Important?&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">So, innovative teaching is something different from traditional teaching techniques. Rather than just relying on lectures and textbooks, <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/parent-resources/educational-trends/what-is-creative-writing">innovative </a>methods of teaching include great creativity in engaging students so that learning becomes an active and pleasurable endeavor. Innovative methods can make the students thirsty to learn, explore, and discover. It will help not only in a better understanding of the subjects but also in motivating students to achieve their full potential.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Motivating Students with Hands-on Learning</h2>
<p dir="ltr">There are many strategies to inspire students. One of the greatest innovative methods of teaching is hands-on learning. Learning is more practical and active than just hearing. For example, students can plant their plants in a science class&mdash;directly in the classroom. This provides a hands-on experience and makes the lesson more memorable and fun.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Why this approach is powerful for stimulating students is that it turns abstract situations into tangible ones through hands-on learning. When students can actually view and touch something that they are learning, they become more involved and interested in the subject. This type of approach builds problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which later lead to success in the real world.<strong><br></strong></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Incorporating Technology in the Classroom</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In today's world, another essential component is education based on the integration of technology. Technology incorporated in class is another creative way of teaching that makes learning much simpler. For instance, interactive whiteboards, tablets, and educational apps can very much dynamize and make lessons more interactive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example, using an interactive whiteboard, instead of the usual lecture, a teacher can expose the students to videos, animations, and quizzes related to the respective lesson. This makes the class not only more interesting but also motivates active participation among the students. More so, with technology at its helm, personalized learning can also be afforded to the students, whereby they are at liberty to move at their own speed, a situation that is of particular importance to those students who may be facing challenges.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Project-Based Learning (PBL): A Strategy in Instilling Students with Inspiration</h2>
<p dir="ltr">PBL is yet another modern, innovative approach to teaching in which students immerse themselves continuously in real-world projects. This new approach allows the students to apply their learned skills and knowledge in a hands-on experience. Learning is just made to be meaningful and very relevant.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An example of this is when students get to work on designing a sustainable garden for their schools. This means the project involves research, planning, teamwork, and physical work&mdash;all of which are very useful skills. PBL goes beyond academics and teaches students life skills, including collaboration, time management, and problem-solving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This can be highly motivating because students have a sense of ownership and responsibility for the learning. The reality of seeing where the application actually takes them motivates them and inspires their best work.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Storytelling as a Powerful Teaching Tool</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Among various strategies to inspire students, Storytelling is one of the oldest and most powerful innovative methods of teaching. An interesting story holds someone's attention, moves emotions, and drives a point home in simple, understandable terms. Through motivational stories for students, teachers can teach them some important life lessons, inspire them to overcome challenges, and become better people.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An instructor might say, "Now, for instance, there is a story of Thomas Edison, who had tried thousands of times before he succeeded in discovering the light bulb. In this way, such stories can be utilized to convey to their students the philosophy of 'work and not to quit easily.' The motivational stories for students would not only keep them happy but also give them a point that is to be conveyed: success usually comes after falling down.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Stories can then make learning a fun process and allow them to, thus, tide over the tough times. They can also make very vague things a little bit more concrete and, thus, easier to learn and remember.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Gamification: Making Learning a Game</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Gamification is a modern teaching methodology that can involve using game elements. These are accomplished by features like points, badges, and leaderboard introduction to make studies fun and competitive. Almost every subject can make use of gamification, and it might work great at involving students to perform at their best.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For instance, a teacher could give out a math challenge where the student is awarded a point for the right answer. The one who has collected the highest number of points at the end of the week could be the winner of a small prize or be declared champion in math for the class. This way, the students learn with excitement, putting in their best.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Gamification also provides instant feedback, which students find to be very motivating. Instant feedback helps when students view the progress in real time; they are more likely to stay engaged and motivated to work to improve. This method also promotes healthy competition and teamwork, which is a valuable skill inside and outside the classroom.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Collaborative Learning: Learning Together</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Another innovative teaching approach is collaborative learning, where students work in groups to achieve a common goal. This enables them to work as a team, communicate, and share responsibilities&mdash;important elements of success in the 21st century.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example, students can solve some problem or work on a group project or discuss some topic in a collaborative learning environment. This has the potential for students to learn from others, share ideas, and build on the strengths of the others. It is very effective in motivating students since it makes them have a sense of community and support.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When students work collaboratively, they tend to become owners of their learning and hence more motivated. This, in return, provides the students with an extensive opportunity to learn social skills and how to work harmoniously with other people, a much more desired outcome in life.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Flipped Classroom: A Fresh Method</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Flipped classroom teaching is a new innovative way of teaching that attempts to change the traditional model. This means that students themselves study some material at home through video lessons or reading and then come to class to discuss and have activities, projects included, depending on what has been learned.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This makes learning more interactive and personal in class because the learners have been exposed to what is going to be discussed even before they get to class. The classroom then becomes a place of deeper exploration and hands-on learning, rather than just passive listening.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This makes flipping the classroom motivational, as it provides more student-centered learning. Students can get to decide the pace at which they view the videos, pauses, or rewinds for some repeated view, which can be helpful in cases where extra time is needed to grasp the concept. This model would also engage a student actively during the class interaction process, as they are expected to come in prepared for substantial discussion and activities.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Using Art and Creativity in Teaching</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Another innovative teaching method which may be useful for motivating students includes the use of art and creativity within lessons. Art enables learners to express themselves and tap into their creativity, hence making it enjoyable and fulfilling during the learning process.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example, in a history class, students could engage in a project to build a visual timeline of events or to draw scenes from some historical period. Students in a science class may design posters showing the explanation of a scientific concept. Such creative activities make learning more interactive, which helps students take in and remember the material better.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Art also offers a channel to different forms of expression, which is very beneficial to learners who may not be successful in the conventional methods. In a creative manner, teachers reach more students through lessons and can help students uncover their hidden gifts and talents.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Making Connections to Real Life: Making Learning Relevant</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Other creative teaching strategies include relating lessons to actual issues and experiences; hence, from such, learning may be made more relevant and interesting on the part of the learners. Lessons are more easily learned when they can be related to aspects of life surrounding the world of a learner.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To elaborate, consider a topic in environmental science that could be presented in context with current issues of climate change or pollution. Assign students to research how these issues have really impacted their local community and to propose some solutions. Not only does such a lesson with consideration of context add some interest to it, but it also helps the students feel they are able to contribute something back to the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The motivation of students through the explanation of real-life examples works well in showing students why their learning in class is important and relevant to them. It also helps in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students, something which is very needed in today's world.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The addition of new and innovative ways to teach in the classroom will make the difference in a perfect learning environment. No matter what one uses&mdash;innovative learning hands-on, technology, project-based learning, storytelling, gamification, collaborative learning, flipped classroom, art, real-world connections&mdash;all these will make a big difference in motivating students to reach their full potential.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Other creative ways, such as motivating students through stories, work marvelously to imbibe in the students never to give up on their dreams. By implanting inspiration in the various ways for the students, a teacher can create an encouraging and motivating environment in the classroom where every student will like to succeed. Many teachers use motivational stories for students to inspire them from within.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As we forge ahead to find newer, more innovative methods of teaching, let us not forget that the ultimate goal is to implement strategies to inspire students and empower them to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens, thus carving a better future for one and all.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs :<strong><br></strong></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. What is the main goal of innovative methods of teaching?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Innovative teaching strategies prioritize the needs and engagement of students, fostering active participation in the learning process. Encourages hands-on and participatory activities, moving away from passive learning to promote deeper understanding and retention.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. What does an innovative method of teaching look like?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of driving the class through a lecture-style format, the teacher poses questions, scenarios, and problems. Students then research these topics individually or in groups to formulate their answers. They can then present their findings and supporting evidence to the class along with the other students. Innovative methods of teaching helps a lot in motivating students and assures good results</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. What are the benefits of innovative methods of teaching?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">One main advantage of innovative teaching strategies is that they promote greater student engagement and motivation. When students are actively engaged in the learning process, they are more likely to remember and retain information.</p>

Innovative Methods Of Teaching For Motivating Students

<h2 dir="ltr">Introduction</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Attendance in school is often viewed merely as a routine requirement, a matter of checking boxes and recording numbers. However, when we dig deeper, we discover that attendance is the foundation upon which a thriving school community is built. It's not just about being physically present; it's about being emotionally and mentally engaged in the educational journey.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Fostering a Sense of Belonging</h2>
<p dir="ltr">At the heart of <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/attendance-and-leave-policies">attendance</a> is the sense of belonging it fosters. Regular attendance ensures that students become an integral part of the school community. When students are consistently present, they form connections with their peers and educators. They become familiar faces in daily routines, engage in discussions, and actively participate in the school's social fabric. This sense of belonging goes beyond mere physical presence; it implies that students are valued and appreciated members of the school community.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Recognitions for attendance play a pivotal role in affirming this sense of belonging. They signal to students that their presence matters, not just to fulfill an obligation but because they are an essential part of the school's tapestry. Such recognitions, whether through certificates, awards, or public acknowledgment, reinforce that students are valued and integral members of the school family. This, in turn, encourages them to invest more in their educational journey, both academically and socially.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Nurturing Responsibility</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Regular attendance is a reflection of responsibility. It's a commitment to show up consistently, be punctual, and actively engage in the learning process. When schools acknowledge attendance through incentives and recognitions, they are also nurturing this essential life skill&mdash;responsibility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By attending school regularly, students learn the importance of commitment and punctuality. These habits, instilled through the simple act of attending school, extend beyond the classroom. They prepare students for future endeavors where responsibility is a key factor in success. Whether it's showing up to work on time, meeting deadlines, or fulfilling personal commitments, the sense of responsibility cultivated through regular attendance serves as a valuable life lesson.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Recognitions for attendance acknowledge and celebrate this sense of responsibility. When students are publicly praised or rewarded for their punctuality and commitment to their education, it reinforces the idea that being responsible is not just a requirement but a quality worth celebrating. It encourages them to continue nurturing this attribute as they navigate through school and life beyond.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Creating a Culture of Achievement</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Attendance recognitions go beyond the mere act of showing up; they celebrate effort and commitment. Regular attendance is a testament to students' dedication to their educational journey. It signifies that they prioritize learning and are willing to invest their time and energy into it.When schools acknowledge and celebrate attendance through incentives and recognitions, they create a culture of achievement. This culture encourages students to set and pursue goals, whether they are academic, personal, or related to extracurricular activities. It propels them to strive for excellence, knowing that their efforts are recognized and appreciated.Furthermore, a culture of achievement is contagious. When students see their peers being acknowledged for their attendance and commitment, it inspires them to follow suit.

<h2 dir="ltr">Introduction:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In the intricate tapestry of education, assessments stand as pivotal threads, weaving a narrative of understanding, growth, and progress. The educational journey is not a linear path but a dynamic, ever-evolving expedition. Continuous assessment methodologies serve as the compass, guiding both educators and students, fostering a culture of learning that extends beyond the confines of classrooms. In this exploration, we will delve into the diverse and dynamic world of continuous assessments, understanding how these varied methodologies shape the educational odyssey, nurturing the seeds of curiosity and resilience, and cultivating the essence of lifelong learners.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Varied Assessment Formats:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Education is a multifaceted gem, and its assessment methods should reflect this complexity. Continuous assessment formats, ranging from quizzes to projects, presentations, and portfolios, offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives into students' skills and knowledge. Each format is like a lens, focusing on different aspects of a student's abilities. Quizzes test their immediate grasp of concepts, while projects unveil their research and creativity. Presentations showcase their communication skills, and portfolios curate a collection of their best work, providing a comprehensive view that transcends the limitations of traditional exams.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Formative Assessment Strategies:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Formative assessments, the heartbeat of continuous evaluation, serve as beacons illuminating the learning path. They are not just tests; they are feedback mechanisms, offering insights into students' progress. Educators utilize formative assessments to adjust their teaching methods, tailoring their approaches to address students' specific needs. These assessments are not judgments but conversations, allowing both educators and students to engage in a dialogue that nurtures understanding and growth.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Summative Evaluation:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Summative assessments, like a capstone on a majestic structure, provide a panoramic view of students' overall understanding and mastery of subject matter. These evaluations, be they exams or final projects, serve as milestones, marking the culmination of a learning phase. Summative assessments offer a holistic perspective, revealing the depth of students' knowledge and their ability to synthesize information. However, they are not endpoints but checkpoints, indicating progress and paving the way for further exploration.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Peer and Self-Assessment:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Empowering students as active participants in their assessment journey, peer and self-assessment methods transcend traditional hierarchical structures. Involving students in assessing their own work and that of their peers fosters a sense of responsibility and critical thinking. It encourages self-reflection, enabling students to recognize their strengths and areas for improvement. Peer assessments, conducted thoughtfully, promote collaboration and empathy, enhancing the learning experience beyond textbooks.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Observational Assessments:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The real world, with its nuances and challenges, becomes the canvas for observational assessments. Observing students in action, whether during group projects, presentations, or practical applications, provides valuable insights into their practical skills, problem-solving abilities, and collaboration skills. These assessments bridge the gap between theory and practice, grounding education in real-life contexts. They emphasize not just what students know but how effectively they can apply their knowledge in diverse situations.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Project-Based Evaluation:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Projects, intricate tapestries of creativity and knowledge, serve as dynamic assessment platforms. Assigning projects that require in-depth research, creativity, and application of concepts encourages students to explore topics deeply. Project-based assessments are not just about delivering a final product; they are about the process. They encourage curiosity-driven learning, fostering a sense of ownership over the subject matter. These assessments celebrate exploration, encouraging students to ask questions, seek answers, and present their findings in innovative ways.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Dynamic Learning Journals:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Learning journals, akin to personal chronicles, capture the essence of the educational journey. These journals, maintained by students, serve as reflective spaces where thoughts, progress, and insights are documented. Educators can use these journals to track students' growth over time, identifying patterns, challenges, and triumphs. Learning journals are not just records; they are mirrors reflecting students' metamorphosis as learners. They are spaces for introspection, allowing students to articulate their thoughts, uncertainties, and breakthroughs, facilitating a deeper understanding of their learning process.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion:</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In the intricate dance of education, continuous assessment methodologies are not mere tools; they are the essence of the learning experience. They celebrate the diversity of learners, recognizing that each student is a unique universe of potential. As we navigate the significance of these methodologies, we affirm our commitment to fostering an educational journey that transcends boundaries, empowers students to embrace challenges, and instills in them the spirit of lifelong learning. The varied threads of assessments, woven together, create a tapestry of understanding, resilience, and curiosity, shaping not just students' academic paths but also their identities as lifelong learners and contributors to the ever-evolving fabric of knowledge.</p>

<p>Once you have placed all the tissues, use the sponge brush gently over the tissues to ensure you glue them correctly to the box underneath. Allow the box to dry. Use a cardboard paper, folded into half along its width, for the roof. Apply the glue and tissues over this paper in the same fashion as earlier. If needed, you can cut off any extra cardboard.</p>
<p>For the birdhouse&rsquo;s door, cut a rectangular patch from any side of the box using a knife. About an inch below this door, you can make an X-shaped cut with the knife. Insert the stem end of the wooden spoon through it, with the curved part of the spoon at the bottom. Before pushing the spoon right at the back, apply a fair amount of glue at the bottom; this ensures that the spoon is stuck well to the interior wall of the box.</p>
<p>To hang the birdhouse, you can cut two small holes on the roof, about 2 inches apart, and insert two ends of twine through them, securing each end with a thick and tight knot from underneath.</p>
<p>The birdhouse is now ready! Hang it on a tree, fill up the spoon with some grains, and wait for our feathered friends to inhabit it.</p>

10 Best Extracurricular Activities for Kids

<p>As the world undergoes rapid transformations driven by technology, the traditional model of education is being challenged to adapt and evolve. In this context, the significance of skills-based education is becoming increasingly evident. Skills-based education shifts the focus from rote memorization of facts to the development of practical and transferable skills that empower students to thrive in the dynamic landscape of the 21st century. This article delves into why skills-based education is gaining prominence and its implications for students in India.</p>
<p>Skills-based education equips students with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Instead of solely emphasizing academic subjects, it emphasizes skills that are relevant across various contexts. These skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and adaptability. As students develop these competencies, they become better prepared to tackle real-world challenges, whether it&rsquo;s in the workplace, in social interactions, or when facing global issues. Skills-based education acknowledges that success is not solely determined by the ability to memorize information but by the capacity to apply knowledge effectively.</p>
<p>In a rapidly changing job market, skills that are highly valued by employers often transcend specific academic disciplines. Skills-based education responds to the demands of the job market by nurturing skills that are transferable and applicable across various industries. This alignment with industry needs enhances students&rsquo; employability and positions them to excel in a range of professions. For instance, skills like digital literacy, coding, data analysis, and problem-solving are in high demand in fields spanning from technology to <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/healthy-eating-habits">health</a>care. By focusing on these skills, skills-based education bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world application. Skills-based education fosters a culture of lifelong learning. By emphasizing skills that can be continuously developed and refined, it encourages students to be proactive learners throughout their lives. In an era of rapid technological advancements and evolving information, the ability to learn and adapt is invaluable. Skills-based education cultivates the mindset that education doesn&rsquo;t end with graduation; rather, it&rsquo;s an ongoing journey of growth and exploration. This empowerment to learn and adapt equips individuals to thrive in an ever-changing world, enabling them to stay relevant and make meaningful contributions.</p>
<p>Skills-based education takes a holistic approach to learning. It recognizes that education is not limited to textbooks and classrooms; it encompasses a broad range of experiences that contribute to personal and professional growth. Beyond academic achievements, skills-based education values creativity, leadership, emotional intelligence, and ethical decision-making. These qualities are nurtured alongside practical skills, creating well-rounded individuals who are not only skilled professionals but also engaged citizens and compassionate leaders. By embracing a holistic approach, skills-based education prepares students to excel in their careers while also contributing positively to society.</p>
<p>In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the significance of skills-based education cannot be overstated. As students in India and around the world face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, skills-based education equips them with the essential tools to succeed. By focusing on practical skills, alignment with industry demands, empowerment for lifelong learning, and a holistic approach to education, skills-based education transcends the limitations of traditional learning models. As educators, parents, and policymakers recognize the value of skills-based education, the education system is poised to empower students to not only navigate but also shape the future with confidence and competence.</p>

<h2 id="Classroom">What is Classroom Management?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/international-schools-thane">Classroom management</a> is a set of techniques and practices that give structure and encourage children to learn in a good environment. To keep classroom activity under control, the teacher gives directions to shape the student&rsquo;s behavior. Effective classroom management is evidenced by organized students, active engagement in learning, and minimal behavioral disruptions. The purpose of an effective management plan is to keep the classroom safe and enjoyable so that students can concentrate on learning.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="positive">How Does A Positive Classroom Help Students?</h2>
<p>According to studies, providing better classroom management boosts student achievement as well as teacher satisfaction. When a teacher has control over a group of students who are cooperative, collaborative, and courteous, everyone in the room has a better educational experience. Wondering how to turn a negative environment to positive?&nbsp; Let us check.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>1. Take Care of All Students&rsquo; Needs</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A positive classroom environment is about more than just being nice to students. A teacher&rsquo;s responsibility includes making sure that all students have the resources they need in order to be successful. Say &ldquo;yes&rdquo; when possible, even if it feels like you are giving away too much of your time and energy. It can feel overwhelming sometimes when a student asks for a second chance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2. Praise Students for Their Accomplishments</h3>
<p>Classroom management won&rsquo;t be possible if you don&rsquo;t celebrate a student&rsquo;s success. It is easy to get frustrated with bad behavior, but it can be more challenging when students are doing well in your class. Take time out of your day or week to recognize those who have been contributing positively by praising them as they work on tasks together or through.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3. Do Not Be Partial to Students</h3>
<p>Teachers must never be partial or be favorable to students who are talkative or those who are quiet. Give everyone an equal chance to speak, and give students who are quite adept ample opportunities before you dismiss them for something that may not be in their control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. Keep Simple Rules for Your Classroom</h3>
<p>To work on maintaining better classroom management, keep the rules of your classroom clear and simple so that students can follow them easily. This will help to create a positive environment and allow students to focus on learning. If you have a rule like all students must take turns checking whether the lights are switched off when the class ends, it will be easy. But if you keep complicated rules like that, all students must teach the rest of the class some subject each day, it might pressure them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>5. Keep Your Classroom Clean</h3>
<p>A clean classroom is a place where people feel safe, comfortable, and content with their surroundings. A disorganized room can affect the mindsets of students as they work hard in an undesirable space that makes them less likely to cooperate and learn from each other. Encourage your students with positive feedback by talking about how grateful you are for them helping in maintaining the classroom clean.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>6. Be Nice to Your Students</h3>
<p>If you can&rsquo;t be genuinely kind, at least try not to be mean and keep your emotions in check when talking with them about their work or any topic that may cause conflict between the two of you. The less tension there is between a teacher and a student, the more likely they will feel comfortable coming to you for help. Be sincere when praising a student, because it helps to boost their self-confidence and motivation for good work in other subjects as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>7. Make Teaching Fun</h3>
<p>When it comes to teaching, do not bore the students with the same old lectures. Rather, make the class fun and interesting. You can make a PowerPoint presentation with vibrant pictures, funny educational videos can be shown, and you can also assign fun group projects. You can also include roleplaying if you want them to learn an English story in a better way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>8. Encourage Discussion</h3>
<p>We must know that the key to classroom management is lots and lots of engaging and educational activities. Students learn a lot when they can share their thoughts and be involved in classroom activities. When students are more engaged, it makes it easier to teach them as well, because there is less distraction from other topics or activities that may interest some students more than others.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>9. Share About You to the Students</h3>
<p>Students can learn a lot from the teacher. They should know what the teacher&rsquo;s strengths and weaknesses are, why they teach certain topics or not others, etc. Teachers can also talk about their interesting school days that seem relevant to the syllabus. By sharing about themselves, it is easier for students to grow into good citizens because they&rsquo;ll definitely get inspired.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>10. Greet Students by the Door</h3>
<p>Greeting students every morning with a bright smile is indeed part of classroom management. You can give them a high five, a hug, or a pat on the head. They can simply choose how they want to be greeted if you give them those options. You can paste 4 to 5 options on the door and ask them to choose one. And then, you can greet them just like they want it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Final">Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>There are many classroom management ideas, such as setting up classroom norms like respecting fellow classmates, themed days, field trips, etc. But the most important thing is that you, as a teacher, should be able to have a positive attitude towards your students, no matter how difficult it may seem. If they see this in you and everything seems like fun for them, then surely you&rsquo;ve won the classroom management skill!</p>
<p>All the best!</p>

<h2 id="For">7 creative storytelling for kids in the classroom!</h2>
<h3><strong>1. Make up a story together&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>This is an excellent activity for younger children who are just starting to learn about stories. Sit in a circle with your students and take turns adding one sentence to the story. This can be done with any type of story, from simple fairy tales to more complicated ones. After a few minutes, you&rsquo;ll have a completely original story that everyone helped create!</p>
<h3><strong>2. Write a story from someone else&rsquo;s point of view</strong></h3>
<p>This activity is perfect for older children who are already comfortable writing stories. Have them choose a character from one of their favourite books, and then have them write a short story from that character&rsquo;s perspective. This will help them to think about other characters in the story and their motivations for doing what they do.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Write a story using only dialogue</strong></h3>
<p>This is an excellent activity for getting students to focus on writing dialogue that sounds natural. Have them choose a scene from one of their favourite books, and then have them write it out using only dialogue. They can add stage directions if needed, but the focus should be on writing dialogue that flows well. This is a great way to get students to think about how characters speak and what they would say in different situations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>4. Recitation of stories in the classroom</strong></h3>
<p>This is a great way to get students to focus on oral language skills. Have them choose a favourite story and then recite it in front of the class. Students can take turns reciting different parts of the story, or work together to recite the entire story.</p>
<h3><strong>5. Retelling a story in their own words</strong></h3>
<p>After students have heard or read a story, have them retell it in their own words. This is a great way to see if they understand the story and how well they can remember it. You can have them write down their retelling, or they can just tell you orally.</p>
<h3><strong>6. Sequencing a story</strong></h3>
<p>After students have heard or read a story, have them put the events in order. You can have them write down their version of the sequence of events, or they can just tell you orally. This is a great way to see if they understand the series of events in the story.</p>
<h3><strong>7. Story maps</strong></h3>
<p>A story map is a graphic organiser that helps students organise and summarise a story. There are many different story maps, but the most basic one has boxes for the beginning, middle, and end of the story. In each box, students can write a summary of what happens in that part of the story.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Of">The benefits of storytelling for kids!</h2>
<h3><strong>1. Develops imagination and creativity</strong></h3>
<p>When kids are encouraged to develop their ideas for stories &ndash; whether they&rsquo;re making them up as they go along or writing down tales they&rsquo;ve heard before &ndash; they learn to think outside the box. They develop their unique writing style as they play with words, experiment with different ways of telling a story, and explore different genres.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Teaches communication and language skills</strong></h3>
<p>Telling stories &ndash; whether true or made up &ndash; is great practice for kids who are learning to communicate. Through storytelling for kids, they learn to express themselves clearly and confidently, using words, tone, and gestures to bring their stories to life. They also learn to listen carefully and understand different points of view. As they share their stories with others, they learn to take turns, respect other people&rsquo;s ideas, and compromise. Storytelling for kids also <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/tips-for-activities-for-kids">helps kids learn</a> about language. As they hear new words and phrases, they understand how language works and how to use it effectively.</p>

7 Thrilling Storytelling Tips For Kids!

"Schools fostering an entrepreneurial mindset to promote innovation and success."

<p>In an ever-evolving world where traditional career paths are being reshaped by technological advancements, cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset among students has become imperative. Schools play a vital role in shaping not only the academic growth of students but also their overall approach towards life. Nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age can empower students to think creatively, adapt to change, and take calculated risks. This paradigm shift in education paves the way for a generation of individuals who are better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.</p>
<p>Fostering Creativity and Problem-Solving:</p>
<p>Traditional education systems have often prioritized rote learning and standardized testing, leaving little room for creative thinking and problem-solving skills. However, an entrepreneurial mindset thrives on creativity &ndash; the ability to envision novel solutions to existing problems. Schools can encourage creativity by incorporating project-based learning, encouraging open-ended discussions, and exposing students to diverse perspectives. When students are given the freedom to explore, experiment, and even fail, they develop resilience and the capacity to innovate.</p>
<p>Adapting to Change and Resilience:</p>
<p>The entrepreneurial journey is riddled with uncertainties and unexpected challenges. Similarly, life itself is full of twists and turns. Schools that emphasize an entrepreneurial mindset prepare students to navigate these uncertainties with resilience. By encouraging a growth mindset &ndash; the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning &ndash; schools can instill the determination to overcome obstacles. Moreover, exposing students to real-world case studies of successful entrepreneurs who have faced failures and triumphed can teach them that setbacks are stepping stones to success.</p>
<p>Embracing Risk-Taking and Initiative:</p>
<p>One of the hallmarks of entrepreneurship is the willingness to take calculated risks and seize opportunities. Schools can play a pivotal role in fostering this trait by creating an environment where students are encouraged to take initiative. Entrepreneurial clubs, startup incubators within school premises, and mentorship programs connect students with real-world entrepreneurs and provide them with firsthand experience. By engaging in projects that require critical thinking and decision-making, students learn to assess risks, make informed choices, and take ownership of their actions.</p>
<p>Holistic Skill Development:</p>
<p>An entrepreneurial mindset encompasses more than just business acumen. It involves communication skills, teamwork, negotiation, time management, and the ability to adapt to diverse situations. Schools can integrate these skills into the curriculum through experiential learning, group projects, and extracurricular activities. Debates, simulations, and collaborative assignments help students enhance their interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. These holistic skills not only contribute to success in entrepreneurship but also prepare students for a well-rounded personal and professional life.</p>
<p>In conclusion, schools have the unique opportunity to shape the next generation of innovators and leaders by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. By shifting the focus from rote learning to experiential learning, from fear of failure to embracing challenges, and from following conventions to thinking creatively, schools can empower students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset goes beyond cultivating future business moguls &ndash; it equips individuals with the skills and attitudes necessary to excel in any endeavor they choose to pursue. As education continues to evolve, let us strive to create learning environments that not only equip students with knowledge but also inspire them to dream, create, and lead with an entrepreneurial spirit.</p>
