Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness. It’s a complex combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. In short, wellbeing could be described as how you feel about yourself and your life.

Well-being   our Hasti school  is a state in which pupils are able to develop their potential, learn and play creatively.

Concretely, well-being at Hasti school means

•           feeling safe, valued and respected

•           being actively and meaningfully engaged in academic and social activities

•           having positive self-esteem, self-efficacy and a sense of autonomy

•           having positive and supportive relationships with teachers and peers

•           feeling a sense of belonging to their classroom and school

•           feeling happy and satisfied with their lives at school

We believe that Pupils who experience well-being can build and enjoy positive relationships with others and feel belonging to their school community.

Research underlines that school bullying has devastating consequences on learners’ health and academic achievement

Around 20% of school children experience mental health problems, in particular anxiety and depression.Our School and teachers are  sufficiently prepared to deal with these issues and need to be supported.

The well-being of teachers and that of students is closely connected. Teachers need to experience a state of well-being themselves in order to be able to contribute to ensuring the well-being and mental health of their students.

Schools are key to the promotion of mental health and well-being among young people. Children and young people spend a considerable amount time at school during a critical period for the development of their personality and socio-emotional competences.

 Incorporating socio-emotional learning, mental health, well-being and bullying prevention programmes in schools is one of the most effective ways to support the psychological well-being of children at our school.

This is in line with a more holistic vision of education, which recognises that children and adolescents need a balanced set of cognitive, social and emotional competences to achieve positive outcomes in school and in life.

The link between academic and socio-emotional learning has been clearly underlined by empirical evidence, including neuroscientific research, demonstrating that learning is a relational and emotional process. Addressing learners’ well-being is therefore key to raising educational outcomes

Let us dive deep in the subject of well being of students and teachers at school .

Teacher well-being is a positive emotional state that combines the personal needs and expectations of both learners and their teachers.

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to help improve your mental health and wellbeing, these are connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give.

The Seven C’s  of wellbeing are  …

•           Confidence. Young people with confidence will have the belief in themselves that they will ultimately succeed. …

•           Competence. …

•           Connection. …

•           Character. …

•           Contribution. …

•           Coping. …

•           Control

Cultivating a Research Mindset through Action Research

 Hasti School is making efforts to cultivate  Research Mind set among student community of our school  . because A research mindset focuses not only on learning to answers but more on  questions,

*Mind sets play a significant role in determining life’s outcomes.

 by understanding, adapting and shifting your mindset, you can improve your health, decrease your stress and become more resilient to life’s challenges.

There are Four well-known mindsets ;

growth mindset,

positive mindset,

entrepreneurial mindset, and

challenge mindset.

You see life through your own unique lens. This is your mindset – the assumptions and expectations you hold about yourself, your life and the situations around you.

Research shows that mindsets play a significant role in determining life’s outcomes. By understanding, adapting and shifting your mindset, you can improve your grade , health, decrease your stress and become more resilient to life’s challenges.

Mindsets are a set of assumptions that help you distill complex worldviews into digestible information and then set expectations based on this input.

While mindsets can be helpful for distilling information and managing expectations, they can also be maladaptive, lead to interpersonal problems and feelings of guilt, inadequacy, sadness and anxiety. But “the good news is mindsets are highly changeable, and if you are willing to learn the technology of changing your mindset and defeating your distorted thoughts, you can have significantly more happiness.”

Our Educators can successfully develop growth or research mind set among their students to make them perfect learners

With a growth mindset,  one  can change over time, and therefore you are more open to reflect, learn and grow from challenges.

Because failure is less threatening, you are more willing to embrace life’s challenges, take feedback as a learning opportunity and continue to learn and grow throughout life. With a growth mindset, you are also less likely to personalize setbacks. 

With a fixed mindset, it can be hard to find motivation to work through perceived weaknesses, because the ability to change may seem as hopeless as changing your eye colour. In contrast, with a growth mindset, you’ll see your perceived weakness as a challenge that can be motivating — and even fun — to overcome.

A fixed mindset positions the student to believe that challenges cannot be overcome or that their skills cannot get better in a significant way.  Where as A person with a research and or  growth mindset, on the other hand, sees progression in a much different light. With effort, abilities improve.

To create the Growth research mind set Our school initiates to 

1.         Create and ensure psychological safety. This means fostering an environment where everyone feels like they have the opportunity to speak and that their voice will be heard. …

2.         Align people into collaborative teams. …

3.         Embed research at every stage.

It is essential for teachers to adopt a research mindset and engage in action research. Action research empowers educators to actively investigate and improve their teaching practices, creating a positive and impactful learning environment for students

. By embracing action research, teachers set a tone of continuous growth, inquiry, and innovation in the classroom. This blog explores the importance of action research and highlights the value of nurturing a research mindset among teachers

Action research serves as a catalyst for change and improvement in classrooms.

It enables teachers to go beyond routine practices and delve into the complexities of teaching and learning.

By engaging in systematic inquiry, educators gain valuable insights into their students’ needs, teaching strategies, and curriculum design, leading to informed decision-making and evidence-based practices.

Action research empowers teachers to be active agents of change, addressing educational challenges and fostering a student-centered approach. Following are key benefits:

Enhancing Teaching Practices

Fostering Student Engagement and Success

Building a Culture of Collaboration

Inspiring Lifelong Learning

By embracing action research and cultivating a research mindset They become role models, demonstrating the value of curiosity, inquiry, and critical thinking.

When teachers adopt a research mindset, they instill in their students a thirst for knowledge, a passion for exploration, and the skills needed to become independent and reflective learners, equipping them for success in an ever-changing world. We at our school make consistent efforts to

a. Encourage Curiosity: Nurture a sense of curiosity among educators and students, fostering a culture of inquiry and exploration.

b. Provide Resources and Support

c. Collaboration and Peer Learning

d. Celebrate Success and Learning

Let us embark on this journey of action research and unlock the full potential of our educational settings . Do Remember, it is a means  to foster innovation, growth, and positive change in education.

Please record your feed back to change the fixed mind set of our children into research mind set or action mind set.

Metacognition

metacognition is key to effective pupil learning:

it is a way for teachers to gauge how well their students understand their own learning processes and regulate their learning

,

The term metacognition refers to an individual’s ability to plan, monitor, evaluate, and make changes to their own learning behaviours in order to confront challenges more effectively.

For students, having metacognitive skills means

that they are able to recognise their own cognitive abilities, direct their own learning, evaluate their performance, understand what caused their successes or failures, and learn new strategies.

It can also help them learn how to revise. This is because it optimises their basic cognitive processes, including memory, attention, activation of prior knowledge, and being able to solve or complete a task

It makes them learn more efficiently and more effectively, and so they are able to make more progress.

 a student with metacognitive skills might:

Recognise that they have trouble applying formulas in maths.

Think about the maths problems they have solved before, and the strategies they used.

Apply these strategies, assessing whether they are working or not.

Try a different strategy if the one they are using is not effective.

Reflect on how they performed in this task, and use this to inform their future work.

Metacognitive skills are useful across all subjects because they enhance the way one learns, as opposed to what you learn. They are also teachable.

The potential benefits of metacognition in learning

•           Higher achievement levels for the students. Metacognitive practices can also compensate for any cognitive limitations

•           Increased ability to learn independently.

•           Improved resilience. Identifying their successes and failures, increases students’ perseverance in getting better at their work.

•           It aids disadvantaged students.

•           Transferable knowledge. Metacognition helps students to transmit their knowledge and understanding including reading comprehension, writing, mathematics, memorising, reasoning, and problem-solving.

•           Effective

•           Emotional and social growth. Gaining awareness of their own mental states allows students to think about how to be happy, respected, and confident in themselves.

Levels of metacognitive learners comes from David Perkins (1992). There are four levels of learner:

1.         Tacit learners, who are unaware of their metacognitive knowledge and merely accept if they know something or not.

2.         Aware learners, who know about some of the kinds of thinking that they do, such as generating ideas, finding evidence, etc. However

3.         Strategic learners, who organise their thinking by using problem-solving, grouping and classifying, evidence-seeking, decision-making, etc.

4.         Reflective learners, who are not only strategic about their thinking, but also reflect upon their learning while it is happening.

Once you know what level students are on, you can plan your support accordingly. For example, with tacit learners, you will need to focus on all aspects of metacognition, guiding them through the process of learning. With higher-level learners, you can withdraw some support

Metacognitive Strategies & Activities for the Classroom

I have compiled a list of few  tips, strategies and activities involving metacognition that you could use alongside modelling and ‘You, Plan, Do, Review’. These are:

Learning/Thinking Journals

Try asking your students to keep personal learning journals, and assign them weekly questions for them to reflect on, such as:

•           What was easiest for me to learn this week, and why?

•           What was most challenging for me to learn, and why?

•           Which study strategies worked well?

•           Which study strategies didn’t work well, and what could I do differently next time?

•           Did my study habits work well for me? What effect did they have on my learning?

•           Which study habit could I improve upon next week?

•           What are my targets for next week?

Teacher may add many more questions you as per the type of learner and subjected to your methodology

Students  could also record ideas they have during a lesson and questions they want to ask, as well as reflecting upon how the ideas they have learnt connect to other topics.

The journal doesn’t necessarily need to be a notebook – your students could use any format that works well for them, including a *mind map, blog,, mobile phone app, or any thing else

KWL Charts

A KWL ( Know , what to know and Learnt) chart is a way of tracking the ‘You, Plan, Do, Review’ process. The idea is to create a chart for students  to use, with space for them to answer the following questions:

•           What do I know?

•           What do I **want to know?

•           What did I learn?                                                                                                                                                             These questions (know, want, and learn) make up the letters in KWL. At the beginning of the lesson, students can answer the first question what they already know that might help them in this lesson. This will activate their prior knowledge, and highlight any misunderstandings.

The second question provides you with ideas for future learning activities. Students could structure their answers in the form of ‘how…?’, ‘when…?’, or ‘why…?’ questions.

At the end of the lesson, students can answer ‘what did I learn?’, as well as filling in anything else they want to know that remains unanswered. It is good to reflect on their own cognitive growth, such as ‘before this lesson, I thought that _. Now I know that _.’

Rules About Asking for Help

Instead of getting students to put their hands up as soon as they need help, set some rules that make them more involved in the thinking process. For example, you could ask them to go to a fellow student – or group of students – to discuss it first, and only to ask you if they can’t find the answer together.

. Mnemonics

Teach your pupils techniques such as mnemonics to help them remember difficult information.

such as ROY G BIV to remember the colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). The same thing could be remembered in a mnemonic sentence, such as ‘Ram Yamuna of India York gave battle in vain’.

 Exam Wrappers very crucial

These are worksheets containing reflective questions that help students to think about their performance in a test or exam. You could give them to your pupils both before and after they receive their results and feedback.

The worksheets given out before they receive feedback should ask them to think about how they prepared for the exam – for example, which study strategies they used. Those given out after the feedback should make the student reflect on the mistakes they made*, and how they could prepare differently to ensure greater success in the future, making them strategic learners.

 Metacognitive Talk

Metacognitive talk involves talking through what you are thinking while you carry out a task. This can help students to focus and better understand their thought processes*

The questions your students should ask and answer out loud are:

•           What do I know about this topic?

•           Have I done a task like this before?

•           What strategies worked last time?

•           What do I need to do first?

•           How am I doing?

•           What should I do next?

•           Should I try a different strategy?

•           Who can I ask for help?

•           How well did I do at this task?

•           What could I do differently next time?

Reciprocal Teaching

This strategy allows students to take on the role of teacher and attempt to teach learning strategies to other students. For example, if they were teaching reading comprehension, they might show their fellow students how to question what they’ve read*, clarify things they don’t understand, summarise the text, and make informed predictions about what they have read*.

. Traffic Lights

Traffic lights can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom; in this instance, students could use them to signify what they found confusing or *challenging in a lesson (red),

what made them think differently about something (amber)*, and

what they understood well (green)*.

They could fill in a traffic light worksheet answering these questions at the end of each lesson. This method makes them reflect upon their learning, developing their metacognitive abilities. Smiling, frowning, or neutral faces could be used in the same way – this might be a good strategy for encouraging metacognition in the primary classroom.

. Reflexive Thinking

Talking about and becoming aware of biases – for example, societal biases – is a metacognitive process called reflexivity. Having classroom discussions about these topics encourages students to consider what they’re unconsciously thinking. Try talking about moral dilemmas, racism, wealth, poverty, and justice.

Goals

Encourage your students to set their own goals. This is one of the best ways for them to monitor their learning progress, and review whether they need to make any changes.

Encouraging metacognition in the classroom is a way to ensure that your students are learning effectively. This will help them throughout their lives by developing their resilience, memory, self-awareness, reasoning skills, and problem-solving abilities*

The role of sports in  school has been a controversial topic for many years. Some say students need to focus more on their academics and forget about sports, while others say school should be fun and sports make it so.

Large number of  studies have shown that the benefits of participating in a sport far outweigh any potential risk.

One of the major concerns of students spending time participating in sports is that they take away from important class time, and they can also provide the student with unnecessary stress. Often, student athletes are attempting to balance sports, difficult classes, social lives, family time, and several other obligations.

Removing sports from the equation would free up students’ lives and make for a potentially less stressful environment. However, studies show the benefits of sports on student athletes are greatly beneficial to the overall well-being of the student.

Students who played sports exhibited either improved academic scores, or they maintained their current level of academic grading.

Overall, studies show that students who play sports do not allow their commitment to their team to affect their commitment to their education. As mentioned, grades often improve for the student athlete.

Another benefit to playing high school sports is that athletes also tend to have increased self-confidence which can be beneficial both on and off the field.

Our Hasti Public school’s survey reveals that children participating in various sports have their academics  either improved or remained the same and did not suffer due to the time commitment of sports.

Our Hasti Public school is renowned for its  excellent performance at National , State and  district level and holds  record of  producing large number of  sports persons( Boys and Girls) who have  represented in different school games , namely fencing , cricket and many other  at state and  National level .

Hasti Public School ,Dondaicha ,one of the best schools in Maharashtra has sports complex spread over area of 4.5 acre and  is equipped with advanced sports material for various games .school has 400 meter track*andother facilities for various track and field events. *HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL’S SPORTS COMPLEX HAS  (standardised  courts for   Basket ball , lawn tennis , volley ball , cricket ,foot ball and hockey in addition to courts for Kabbadi, khokho, archery . school has facility of squash , snooker ,  Billiards , table tennis and Badminton court.

However It is unfortunate that these two critical aspects of education, *academics and athletics, tend to be pitted against each other than to  realize for what they are – *sports and Academics are the pillars  that work together to create the moral fibre of today’s youth.

Research also clearly shows that it is exercise, activity, proper sleep, and a healthy diet that grow brain cells and promote learning – more so than study extra hours after school. 

Students need to be physically active to develop cognitively, balance emotional well being, and to be better prepared for the academically challenging environment they have in school. 

So the questions should not be academics or sports, *but *ACADEMICS AND SPORTS * that lead to better overall growth and performance all around for learners.

Student Club at our Hasti public school to teach

 Goal is to make interactions between students  and school stakeholders comfortable and easy

Proposed novel gesture .

In a gesture that speaks volumes of commitment to making the lives of people more comfortable with English language, it is proposed that students of our Hasti public school ,Dondaich through their ECC English Conversation Club will be  teaching English to group D employees and  housekeeping staff of the school. 

These sessions are likely to be  held twice a week for 45 minutes each.                                                                                                     

The idea is to empower the staff in their day-to-day activities and work, improve their spoken language fluency and instil a greater connection between them and the school community.

The housekeeping staff members expressed difficulties in communication between them, students, parents ,visitors and teachers, and hence planned to practice and improve their English.

The students will be  encouraged to start a club to achieve and fulfil the wishes of the housekeeping staff.

The student members include prefect , vice prefect , house captains , class monitors and rank holders and position holders of the school students club .

They will be supported by Hasti school faculty members, and members of English subject committee .

Students under the supervisio and guidance of faculty  will plan and organize the club and teach at suitable timings as per the housekeeping staff members’ convenience.

Considering difficulty of the  housekeeping members in communication with respect to their jobs, and hence *the ECC club will be  targeting their specific wishes – unique circumstances and situations in which they face the greatest difficulty.

The club will also be  working to improve the staff member’s overall simple spoken English language proficiency.

Vocabulary teaching is proposed to be  done through role-play scenarios, flashcards, lessons, and games to make the experience enjoyable for them as well as the students involved in teaching.

The club is supposed to be  focusing  on improving the housekeeping staff members’ individual spoken fluency, and teach them on a personal level to build a strong connection between students and the staff.

The ECC of  students of Hasti Publilc school Dondaicha   hopes to gradually incorporate better teaching methods and include more staff to have a greater impact on the school community and foster a greater sense of achievement for the housekeeping members.

 “Through this initiative, students will learn to view the housekeeping members as more than just people in the background of school life.

Every English subject teacher and ECC members  will feel  truly grateful to be able to help them out in  this noble gesture

Furthermore, students will  realize just how difficult it is to organize a functional club and maintain it.                                             

The club may  face challenges from deciding the venue, deciding timings, communicating effectively with staff and housekeeping members, and making the best use of the classes we will  give each week to teach   Also, teaching a language is very difficult, Syllabus preparation, what to teach and making sure all-important factors to be considered.

There will be definitely many organizational difficulties we need to  overcome, but in the end, our teamwork will bring us closer to our goal . We will do a lot more to achieve our objectives.”

This noble initiative. Empathy for the housekeeping staff members, recognising the significance of their role in the student body, realizing that the school does not comprise only students and teachers and a compassionate approach and attitude to the wider society are all values that we should carry and imbibe.

                                                                                                                            

The initiative by students, teachers and administrative personnel to make the lives of non-teaching staff better and equip them with resources to help them grow will definitely be  very commendable and I hope everybody will benefit from this in a positive way.

Our chairman sir Hon’ble kailasji jain always advocates and supports that “We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations”

Therefore at Hasti Public school Dondaicha  we  always focus on what are we going to pass on to the next generation.

 As teachers, we have a great responsibility: to try to improve the world around us and make it a better place for future generations. By encouraging our students to analyze and understand the importance of acting in a fair and sustainable way.

We often ask ourselves what kind of world we are going to leave to new generations, but perhaps the question should be what kind of people we are going to leave to our world*? Making this world a better place is in their hands. 

At our Hasti school working  with the SDGs allows us to approach our classes in a different way. For example, it *allows us to focus more on student competencies.

The focus of learning about the SDGs is not on memorizing statistics or concepts, but on reflecting and thinking critically.

Likewise, the curriculum becomes more transversal. We plan to  work on different topics in an interdisciplinary way and connect them with other areas of study in the curriculum. *For example, when working on SDG 12: Responsible production and consumption, we  propose a project in which students to carry out different activities such as:

•           analyzing and comparing the impact of various products through life cycle analysis,

•           calculating the individual and school ecological footprint,

•           organizing and designing an awareness campaign, and creating digital or physical promotional material to be distributed in the school.

This way they’ll work on knowledge and skills from different subjects. We’ll be able to implement active methodologies such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and, by doing so, we create learning situations that invite children to reflect, interact, and find solutions to real problems. And, at the same time, we will be enhancing other knowledge not only related to the SDGs*, but also to other areas or subjects.

In the end, it’s about putting our learning to work to bring about positive change in our environment. Because *learning about the SDGs and their impact goes beyond learning concepts and ideas. learning about SDGs means activating collaborative and supportive attitudes. This is how students develop valuable skills for their personal and professional development while doing their bit for a better world.

When it comes to learning about the SDGs in our classes, we think and propose to  act  the most effective way  that is to work on them through real and authentic situations. To achieve this, we work on some guidelines ;(to help awaken their motivation and get them involved from the word go).

Emotions are a good place to start a session

For our class to get really engaged with the SDGs? * we propose to Start with content that stirs their emotions, moves them, and highlights the importance of taking action*  One of the most effective ways to move people is through storytelling.

First we need to  choose the SDG you want to work on, ( see the list of 17 SDGs given at the end as recapitulation task) then come up with a short story and characters, and bring them to life*. Let them tell their story and the problems they face. To do this, you can use a breakout like this one, which we think is great

 for SDG 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss

we need to  start with something simpler that shows the impact of human behavior on society and the planet at a glance, using a flashcard  we propose to use it  to work on SDG 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.

We need to Choose two images of the same place: one that illustrates what the place looked like in the past, and one that shows what the place looks like now, after being industrialized. Let your class look at and analyze the images and debate on this .

Learn through research

We propose to Use a visual resource like a timeline. This one is perfect for working on SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. They can refer to the information as many times as they need.

In SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. We Create real materials and encourage them  to share their work with the world around

There are 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to transform our world;

•           Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms.;

•           Goal 2: Zero Hunger.

•           Goal 3: Health.

•           Goal 4: Education.

•           Goal 5: Gender equality and women’s empowerment.

•           Goal 6: Water and Sanitation.

•           GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

•           GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

•           GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

•           GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality

•           GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

•           GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

•           GOAL 13: Climate Action

•           GOAL 14: Life Below Water

•           GOAL 15: Life on Land

•           GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions

•           GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal

Now after having worked on the SDGs with our classes , it’s always good  to reinforce what you’ve learned with a thematic quiz  we propose to Prepare  17 questions (one for each goal), students can discuss each answer as a group and test their knowledge while having fun.                                                                                                                                                                            *       *YOUR FEED BACK  ,suggestions, remarks & ,ideas for modification , will enhance the  reading value  .you may suggest different activities for incorporating SDGs in our school curriculuim *. please  do visit our web site *

An Important Skill to Acquire for Kids

Emotional regulation is the ability to understand and manage one’s emotions in a healthy way.

When kids are able to regulate their emotions, it means that they’re better equipped to handle difficult situations. They can bounce back from setbacks easier

While it’s certainly important for kids to learn academic, social, and other skills as they grow up, developing their emotional regulation abilities is equally crucial. Emotional regulation can impact a child’s physical health and mental well-being. It can also affect problem-solving skills, relationships with others, and overall success in life.

By learning how to better regulate emotions at an early age, kids are more likely to have better mental health, a strong support system, and greater self-confidence. Emotional regulation can also help them to better manage stress and anxiety, set appropriate boundaries with others, handle challenging situations more effectively, and develop empathy towards others.

Emotions separate humans from the rest of the living world. Our unique ability to express feelings, reactions, and emotions to external stimuli of the surroundings makes us individually unique and outstanding as a species. Children are the least socially conditioned individuals and express their emotions without any bounds. However, a little too much of anything can be harmful, even if it is a good thing like emotions.

For instance – How would you interpret the cranky behavior of your kid or the extreme inflexibilities he/she shows when asked to finish the bowl of cereal every morning? All these reactions are expressions of emotions as well. But, all these do not contribute to the overall growing up process of the children. Hence, controlled emotions are what ultimately shape the foundation of a strong character.

At HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL , ranked among the Top  Schools in the region , we believe that every child is born with the extraordinary talent of expressing emotions in unique ways. And the parents hold the crucial responsibility of steering their kid’s spirits and intensities in the right way.

Regulated emotions can help the children learn several essential life skills that would further aid them in the future in their career life, social life, and personal life as well. Emotional regulation comprises one of the most important skills for children to possess.

Help them learn and accept things in a healthy way

Both the joy of success and the pain of failure are different forms of expression. While one can be an ecstatic feeling, the other one can be a depressing one. However, learning not to become complacent when you get a victory and not giving up when you face a failure is what controlled emotions teach kids.

Any form of emotion is basically a flow of energy, and expressing your feelings in wild ways can be wasting your energy for nothing.

Feeling happy for success is absolutely healthy, but becoming overconfident or arrogant upon winning are the perils that uncontrolled emotions fetch in. Teach your kids the art of taming their emotions, and they would know the ways to navigate their energy constructively.

Aids in the development of emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is one of the primary aspects of the overall mental development of young minds. At HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL , we understand that emotions can define the success and failure of any child in the long run. We have seen that children capable of controlling sudden outbursts of emotions are more likely to be patient, understanding, flexible, accepting, and positive.

 The presence of qualities like perseverance, tolerance, compassion, empathy defines the very emotional character of a person. Instilling the power to tame emotions in your kids would eventually turn them into self-controlled individuals who would not get swayed by storms of emotions at random.

Teaches kids to manage their relationships more efficiently

Throughout our lives, we sail through modulating tides of emotions attached to various forms of relationships. When children learn to regulate their emotions appropriately, they are more likely to grow up with great skills for handling the bumpy roads of relationships more efficiently. Therefore, even for maintaining social relationships, managing emotions remains critical.

Hence, seeing emotions in the right light is what you need to teach your children early. Make your kids aware of the immense potential that emotions and the way we respond to experiences and things around us hold. This will help them mature into individuals capable of self-regulation, which indeed is a quality the world admires. *Besides, we, at HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL , can also vouch for the fact that emotional regulation guarantees a healthy parent-child relationship as well.

Brings about an improvement in the academic performance of kids

Honing the skills of managing emotions means keeping every variety of emotions under control. Hence, be it the pre-exam anxiety or the preparation time stress, self-regulation can help kids in many ways to reach their goals. This shows that for the overall improvement in academic performance of children, controlled emotions can help pave the first step on the path.

At HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL , we firmly believe that emotions can be a firm pillar for character development if regulated appropriately*.

हर क्रिया के बराबर और विपरीत प्रतिक्रिया होती है। न्यूटन का तीसरा नियम न केवल क्रियाओं पर लागू होता है, यह शब्दों पर भी लागू होता है।

किसी भी स्वस्थ रिश्ते की कुंजी अच्छा और स्पष्ट संचार है। लेकिन हम आमतौर पर यह भूल जाते हैं कि बात करना और संवाद करना दो अलग-अलग चीजें हैं। कम्युनिकेटिंग का अर्थ है कुछ इस तरह से कहना कि सुनने वाला उसे वैसे ही समझे जैसे हम उससे मतलब रखते हैं। यह सिर्फ हम क्या कहते हैं, यह नहीं है कि हम कैसे कहते हैं, यह जिस तरह से माना जाता है, उससे बहुत फर्क पड़ता है।

सबसे महत्वपूर्ण अनुभवों में से एक जो आप माता-पिता के रूप में अपने बच्चों को प्रदान कर सकते हैं, वह है उनके साथ अच्छा संचार करना। आखिरकार, यह आपके बच्चों के साथ आपकी दैनिक बातचीत है जो आपके और आपके छोटों के बीच एक घनिष्ठ बंधन के लिए मूल आधार बनाती है।

यह एक ज्ञात तथ्य है कि बच्चे अपने माता-पिता से बहुत कुछ देखते और सीखते हैं। इस तरह, वे न सिर्फ आपके कार्यों बल्कि आपके शब्दों पर भी ध्यान देते हैं! इसका मतलब यह है कि आप उन्हें जो कुछ कहते हैं, वह बहुत मायने रखता है।

बच्चों से बात करते समय आप जिन शब्दों और मुहावरों का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, वे उन्हें गौर से देखते हैं। और यह उन युवा मन के विश्वासों को आकार देने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। आप उनसे जो कह सकते हैं वह न केवल आपके विश्वासों को दर्शाता है बल्कि उनके द्वारा विकसित विश्वासों को भी प्रभावित करता है।

तो आज, हम, हस्ती पब्लिक स्कूल, दोंडाइचा में, जो इस क्षेत्र के सबसे अच्छे स्कूलों में से एक है, कुछ मुहावरों पर प्रकाश डालेंगे, हालांकि आप में से अधिकांश लोग अपने दैनिक जीवन में आमतौर पर इसका इस्तेमाल करते होंगे। अपने बच्चों के साथ दिन की बातचीत, आदर्श रूप से सबसे अच्छा बचना चाहिए। पढ़ते रहिये।

रोना बंद करो!: बच्चे आमतौर पर तब रोते हैं जब वे कुछ गलत करते हैं और जानते हैं कि उन्हें दंडित किया जाएगा या तब भी जब वे डरे हुए या आहत होते हैं। किसी भी अन्य इंसान की तरह उन्हें भी अपनी भावनाओं को दिखाने का अधिकार है। माता-पिता को अपने बच्चे को “तुरंत रोना बंद करो” चिल्लाकर रोना बंद करने के लिए मजबूर नहीं करना चाहिए। बच्चे हमारे हर एक कार्य से सीखते हैं, भले ही उन्हें इसका एहसास न हो। इस वाक्यांश को कहकर, *आप अनिवार्य रूप से अपने बच्चे को अपनी भावनाओं को प्रदर्शित नहीं करने के लिए कह रहे हैं, कुछ ऐसा जो वे हमेशा के लिए धारण कर सकते हैं। इसके बजाय उन्हें समझाएं कि भावनाओं को संसाधित करना और उन्हें व्यक्त करना अच्छा है और उन्हें रोना क्यों बंद करना चाहिए।

•

तुम्हें ए ग्रेड क्यों नहीं मिला?”

सबसे आम लेकिन सबसे जहरीले वाक्यांशों में से एक, जो आम तौर पर पल की गर्मी का परिणाम होता है। हां, हम समझते हैं कि उनके माता-पिता होने के नाते आप हमेशा चाहते हैं कि आपके बच्चे जीवन में सफल हों। और शिक्षाविद निश्चित रूप से उसकी नींव रखते हैं। हालांकि, इसे हासिल करने के लिए उन पर बनने वाले अनुचित दबाव को अक्सर नजरअंदाज कर दिया जाता है। हमारे हस्ती स्कूल में, *हम मानते हैं कि जब तक आपका बच्चा अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रयास और सुधार कर रहा है, तब तक यह ठीक होना चाहिए। आप हमेशा अगली बार सुधार के लिए क्षेत्रों की तलाश कर सकते हैं लेकिन बच्चों पर बहुत अधिक तनाव डालने से बचें क्योंकि यह उन्हें भावनात्मक और साथ ही मनोवैज्ञानिक रूप से प्रभावित करता है*।

आप निकम्मे/मूर्ख हैं: यह शायद आपके बच्चे के लिए सबसे बुरी बात है। आपका बच्चा जो कुछ भी करता है उसमें आपकी स्वीकृति के लिए आपकी ओर देखता है। ऐसा कहकर आप उनके आत्मविश्वास की हत्या कर रहे हैं और उन्हें उनके सभी कार्यों के अनुमोदन के लिए बाहरी दुनिया पर निर्भर बना रहे हैं। माता-पिता के रूप में, हमारा काम अपने बच्चों को बेहतर इंसान बनने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना है। यह जरूरी है कि हम अपने बच्चों को मंजूरी के लिए अपने अंदर झांकना सिखाएं। इस वाक्यांश का उपयोग करने के बजाय, कुछ ऐसा प्रयास करें जो कहता है कि इस बार आपने इतना अच्छा नहीं किया लेकिन आप अगली बार बेहतर कर सकते हैं।

“आपकी बहन/भाई ने इसे बहुत अच्छी तरह से किया। तुम उसके जैसे क्यों नहीं हो सकते?”

एक और जहरीला वाक्यांश जो माता-पिता बच्चों से बात करते समय उपयोग करते हैं, उनकी तुलना उनके भाई-बहनों, दोस्तों और उनके आसपास के हर दूसरे बच्चे से करते हैं। हालाँकि आपने इसे बहुत ही सहजता से कहा होगा, यह बहुत कम उम्र से ही उन पर बहुत गहरा प्रभाव डालता है, और उनमें आक्रोश पैदा होने लगता है। जबकि तुलना वयस्कों के लिए भी खराब है, बच्चों के साथ बात करते समय निश्चित रूप से इससे बचना चाहिए।

हमारे हस्ती स्कूल में, *हम मानते हैं कि जब तक आपका बच्चा अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रयास और सुधार कर रहा है, तब तक यह ठीक होना चाहिए। आप हमेशा अगली बार सुधार के लिए क्षेत्रों की तलाश कर सकते हैं लेकिन बच्चों पर बहुत अधिक तनाव डालने से बचें क्योंकि यह उन्हें भावनात्मक और साथ ही मनोवैज्ञानिक रूप से प्रभावित करता है*।

आप निकम्मे/मूर्ख हैं: यह शायद आपके बच्चे के लिए सबसे बुरी बात है। आपका बच्चा जो कुछ भी करता है उसमें आपकी स्वीकृति के लिए आपकी ओर देखता है। ऐसा कहकर आप उनके आत्मविश्वास की हत्या कर रहे हैं और उन्हें उनके सभी कार्यों के अनुमोदन के लिए बाहरी दुनिया पर निर्भर बना रहे हैं। माता-पिता के रूप में, हमारा काम अपने बच्चों को बेहतर इंसान बनने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना है। यह जरूरी है कि हम अपने बच्चों को मंजूरी के लिए अपने अंदर झांकना सिखाएं। इस वाक्यांश का उपयोग करने के बजाय, कुछ ऐसा प्रयास करें जो कहता है कि इस बार आपने इतना अच्छा नहीं किया लेकिन आप अगली बार बेहतर कर सकते हैं।

“आपकी बहन/भाई ने इसे बहुत अच्छी तरह से किया। तुम उसके जैसे क्यों नहीं हो सकते?”

एक और जहरीला वाक्यांश जो माता-पिता बच्चों से बात करते समय उपयोग करते हैं, उनकी तुलना उनके भाई-बहनों, दोस्तों और उनके आसपास के हर दूसरे बच्चे से करते हैं। हालाँकि आपने इसे बहुत ही सहजता से कहा होगा, यह बहुत कम उम्र से ही उन पर बहुत गहरा प्रभाव डालता है, और उनमें आक्रोश पैदा होने लगता है। जबकि तुलना वयस्कों के लिए भी खराब है, बच्चों के साथ बात करते समय निश्चित रूप से इससे बचना चाहिए। हमारे हस्ती स्कूल में, हमारा दृढ़ विश्वास है कि प्रत्येक बच्चा एक अद्वितीय आशीर्वाद है जिसकी सराहना की जानी चाहिए और दूसरों के साथ तुलना नहीं की जानी चाहिए। इसके बजाय हमें उनके व्यक्तित्व को अपनाना चाहिए और उनकी अनूठी प्रतिभाओं और कौशल को चमकाने का प्रयास करना चाहिए।

ऐसा करने से पहले आपको ऐसा करने की अनुमति नहीं है: यह कहकर, आप अपने बच्चे को सिखा रहे हैं कि खिलौने, मिठाई, या खेल, रात का खाना खाने या अपना होमवर्क पूरा करने के लिए पुरस्कार हैं। यह इनाम के महत्व को बढ़ाएगा और काम, रात के खाने और गृहकार्य को कम करेगा; आप जो हासिल करना चाहते हैं उसके ठीक विपरीत। आपके द्वारा उपयोग किए जाने वाले शब्दों को थोड़ा सा भी बदलने से कहीं अधिक सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ सकता है।

मुझे ग्राउंड मत बनाओ: कभी-कभी बच्चे कुछ ऐसा कर देते हैं जिसकी उन्हें सजा मिलनी चाहिए। अपराध से मेल खाने वाली सजा बच्चों को यह सिखाने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है कि कार्यों के परिणाम होते हैं। तो अगली बार जब आपके बच्चे परिवार की छुट्टियों के लिए रास्ते में पिछली सीट पर आपस में झगड़ रहे हों और आप उन्हें बताएं कि अगर उन्होंने इसे तुरंत नहीं रोका तो आप कार को पलट देंगे; इसे करें! ऐसा कुछ न कहें जो आप नहीं करेंगे। यदि आप अपने बच्चे से कहते हैं कि वे जमीन से जुड़े हुए हैं और उन्हें अपने दोस्तों से मिलने के लिए घर से बाहर जाने की अनुमति नहीं है, तो उस पर कायम रहें। के माध्यम से आएं। यदि आप अनुसरण नहीं कर सकते हैं, तो यह मत कहो

“तुम हमेशा अपने सपनों में क्यों खोए रहते हो? व्यावहारिक बनो!”

अधिकांश बच्चे बड़े सपने देखते हैं और वास्तव में इसे लेकर उत्साहित भी होते हैं। यदि वे किसी कारण से संभव न भी लगें तो भी आप अपने बच्चों के सपनों को जहरीले शब्दों से कुचले बिना उन्हें प्रोत्साहित करें। *इस तरह के नकारात्मक शब्दों का प्रयोग केवल उन्हें हतोत्साहित करेगा और उन्हें रुचि खो देगा। इसके बजाय, सही सशक्त शब्दों और उनके सपनों की दिशा में काम करने के लिए एक सकारात्मक माहौल के साथ उनका समर्थन करें।

“अलग हो जाओ। मुझे इसे तुम्हारे लिए करने दो!”

जब आप अपने बच्चे को किसी गतिविधि से जूझते हुए देखते हैं, तो माता-पिता होने के नाते उनकी मदद करना एक स्वाभाविक प्रवृत्ति है। हालांकि, बार-बार ऐसा करने से आपका बच्चा कम स्वतंत्र हो सकता है क्योंकि वह हमेशा आपकी मदद की तलाश में रहेगा। इसलिए, सीधे उनकी मदद करने के लिए कूदने के बजाय, आप उनका मार्गदर्शन कर सकते हैं या उन्हें सुझाव दे सकते हैं जो समस्या को हल करने में उनकी मदद करेंगे। इससे उन्हें जिम्मेदार और स्वतंत्र व्यक्तियों के रूप में विकसित होने में मदद मिलेगी।

ऊपर सूचीबद्ध के अलावा और भी कई वाक्यांश हैं जो आमतौर पर बच्चों के साथ संवाद करते समय उपयोग किए जाते हैं। हालाँकि आप इनमें से कुछ वाक्यांशों को बहुत नियमित रूप से कह रहे होंगे, या हो सकता है कि वे हानिकारक न लगें, हालाँकि, तथ्य यह है कि आपके शब्द आपके बच्चों को बहुत प्रभावित करते हैं! जबकि सकारात्मक संचार उनमें आत्मविश्वास जगाने में मदद कर सकता है, नकारात्मक शब्द उन्हें हारे हुए मानसिकता के साथ विकसित कर सकते हैं।

PHRASES THAT SHOULD BE BEST AVOIDED WHILE COMMUNICATING WITH  YOUR KIDS/ CHILDREN

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s third law does not only apply to actions, it also applies to words.

Key to any healthy relationship is good and clear communication. But what we usually forget is that talking and communicating are two different things. Communicating means saying something in a way that the listener understands it the way we meant it. It’s not just what we say, how we say it makes a lot of difference in the way it is perceived.

One of the most important experiences that you as parents can provide for your children is to have good communication with them. After all, it is your daily interaction with your kids that forms the basic foundation for a close-knit bond between you and your little ones.

It is a known fact that children observe and learn a lot from their parents. As such, they not just take note of your actions but also your words! This means that the things you say to them matter a lot.

The words and phrases that you use when speaking to children are keenly observed by them. And this plays an important role in shaping the beliefs of those young minds. What you may say to them not just reflects your beliefs but also impacts the beliefs they develop.

So today, we, at The HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL ,DONDAICHA, one of the best schools IN THE REGION , will be shedding light on some of the phrases that though most of you must be commonly using in your day-to-day conversations with your children, should ideally be best avoided. Read on.

Stop crying!:Children generally cry when they do something wrong and know that they will be punished or even when they are scared or hurt. Like any other human being, they have the right to show their emotions. Parents should not force their child to stop crying by screaming out “stop crying immediately”. Children learn from every single action of ours, even if they don’t realize it. By saying this phrase, you are essentially telling your child to not to show their emotions, something they may hold on to forever. Instead make them understand that its good to process emotions and express them and why they should stop crying.

•          

Why didn’t you get an A grade?”

One of the most common yet the most toxic phrases, that is generally an outcome of the heat of the moment. Yes, we understand that being their parents, you always want your kids to succeed in life. And academics surely lay the foundation for that. However, the undue pressure that builds on them for achieving this often gets ignored. At OUR HASTI SCHOOL , *we believe that as long as your child is making their best efforts and improvements, it should be fine. You can always look for areas to improve the next time but avoid putting too much stress on children as it impacts them emotionally as well as psychologically*.

You are worthless/an idiot: This is probably the worst thing to say to your child. Your child looks to you for your approval in whatever they do. By saying this, you are killing their self-confidence and making them reliant on the outside world for approval for all their actions. As parents, our job is to encourage our children to be better human beings. It is imperative that we teach our children to look inside themselves for approval. Instead of using this phrase, try something that says this time you did not do so well but you can do better next time.

“Your sister/brother did it so nicely. Why can’t you be like him/her?”

Another toxic phrase that parents use when talking to children is comparing them with their siblings, friends, and every other child around them. While you may have said it very casually, it impacts them very deeply from a very young age, and they begin to develop resentment. While comparison is bad for adults too, it should definitely be avoided when talking with children. At OUR HASTI  School, we firmly believe that each child is a unique blessing that should be appreciated and should not be compared with others. We should instead embrace their individuality and try to polish their unique talents and knacks.

You are not allowed to do this before you finish doing that: By saying this, you are teaching your child that toys, dessert, or play, are rewards for doing chores like eating dinner or finishing their homework. This will increase the importance of the reward and diminish that of chores, dinner and homework; exactly opposite of what you want to accomplish. Changing the words you use even a little bit, can have a far more positive impact.

Don’t make me ground you: Sometimes children do something that they need to be punished for. Punishments that match the crime are important to teach children that actions have consequences. So next time your children are squabbling in the back seat while on the way to a family vacation and you tell them that if they don’t stop it immediately you will turn around the car; Do It! Don’t say something that you won’t do. If you tell your child that they are grounded and won’t be allowed to go out of the house to see their friends, stick to it. Follow through. If you can’t follow through, then don’t say it

“Why are you always lost in your dreams? Be practical!

Most children dream big and are really excited about it. Even if they do not seem possible due to any reason, you should encourage your kids without crushing their dreams with toxic words. *Using such negative words will only demotivate them and make them lose interest. Instead, support them with the right empowering words and a positive environment to work towards their dreams.

“Get aside. Let me do it for you!”

When you see your child struggling with an activity, it is a natural instinct being a parent to help them out. However, doing so frequently can make your child less independent as they will always be looking for you to help. So, instead of directly jumping to help them, you can guide them or provide them suggestions that will help them to solve the problem. This will help them grow into responsible and independent individuals.

APART FROM Listed above there are many more  phrases that are commonly used while communicating with children. Although you may be saying some of these phrases very regularly, or they might not appear harmful as such, however, the fact is that your words influence your children a lot! While positive communication can help instill confidence in them, negative words can make them grow with a loser mindset.

It is hence very much important that you, being their parents and role models, mindfully avoid using such phrases and pay close attention on your language to communicate effectively with your children.

At our Hasti School, ranked among the best schools in the region , we firmly believe that it is very much important for the parents to be open to listening to their children with an open mind.

You need to keep in mind that those little eyes are always watching you. So, why not try and keep a watch on your language closely ?

It would not only help you build a better communication channel with your kids but also help lay the path for their rightful development!

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Curriculum is a standards-based sequence of planned experiences where students practice and achieve proficiency in content and applied learning skills

Curriculum is the central guide for  we all educators at our Hasti public school , one of the top ranked school in the Khandesh region  as to *what is essential for teaching and learning, so that every student has access to rigorous academic experiences.

Curriculum is organized into three main sections:

1.         Program Planning (general information)

2.         Curriculum Context (information for specific curriculum)

3.         Curriculum Expectations (what students learn) and Teacher Supports (how students might learn).

Curriculum is written primarily for teachers and educators, so

Program Planning

*Program Planning information applies to the curriculum in all subjects and disciplines in Grades 1 to 12.  It provides the most up-to-date information on policy governing education in  schools . For example, it includes information regarding the creation of safe, accepting and inclusive classrooms.

Educators are guided by Program Planning information as they:

•           develop lessons and programs based on the curriculum and

•           create the classroom and school environments in which the lessons and programs are taught.

Curriculum Context

Each curriculum has a section that supports the teaching of the specific subjects. This section often includes the vision and goals for the curriculum. It also has information that guides educators as they develop lessons and programs. n.

Curriculum Expectations and Teacher Supports

The curriculum combines the curriculum expectations (what students learn) with teacher supports (how students might learn) while giving teachers the flexibility to choose appropriate resources and teaching strategies.

Curriculum

Teacher Supports

Curriculum expectations are often accompanied by optional “teacher supports” that give  tools, examples and resources related to specific learning goals.

Teacher supports may include examples and other teaching resources. These show how students may achieve the learning outlined in the curriculum expectations.

STRUCTURE OF OUR CURRICULUM

Primary school years are the crucial years that lay a foundation to a life-long journey of learning, hence aptly called as the Early Years Foundation Stage

The curriculum focuses on play-way method with the epicenter being the key areas of learning: physical, personal, social and emotional development; literacy skills; numeracy skills;

understanding the world through enquiry; and expressions through art, music and dance

The curriculum provides a balance of daily teacher-directed activities and child-directed activities that make learning fun.

Primary Curriculum

When life challenges you, it surely doesn’t test your abilities to do maths, physics, chemistry, etc individually. Instead, it tests your abilities to handle the situation using the teachings of these subjects; the theoretical base with the practicality of life. This is where STEM education establishes its firm foot in the field of education to help the 21st-century population sail through life.

With the rapid change in market trends and the nature of desirable skills in the workforce, the education sector has introduced STEM education, an acronym for well-known terms– Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

The term STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) was first coined by Charles E. Vela, the founder and director of the Centre for the Advancement of Hispanics in Science and Engineering Education. STEM is an approach to education, which not just focuses on the cited disciplines, but also caters to developing critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities in children. It fosters creativity and prepares children with not just theoretical know-how but rather the real-world application of the aforementioned subjects. No wonder, STEM is often regarded as the key to success in the current times.

So today, we, at HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL ,DONDAICHA, one of the leading schools in THE KHANDESH REGION will shed more light on the topic and explain how STEM education presents children with a whole lot of benefits.

Importance Of STEM Education in the 21st Century:

With STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), it is not the teaching of one subject but rather the amalgamation of all four subjects as a comprehensive one through an interdisciplinary curriculum. This helps students to deal with real-world situations and apply their learnings to create, innovate and discover new things. Also, it has been proven that students who adopt the STEM learning approach have better possibilities of getting placed at good companies, achieving the goals of their life contributing to the environment, etc.

Benefits of STEM Education:

As we read above that stem education is quite important these days and has many benefits let’s take a look:

1. Enhance Critical Thinking

STEM education is a very important aspect of student’s life as it teaches them to solve problems effectively. Students who are accustomed to STEM education at an early age learn to analyze challenges and are able to develop strategies to tackle them.

2. Motivates Experimenting

In the last couple of decades, it has been noticed that STEM education provides a healthy environment and encourages students to try new things. Children who are part of STEM education learn the importance of failure and how to tackle it without getting affected.

3. Teamwork

STEM education is best for team-building activities and it helps students from every level to work together. They come together and find solutions to the problem discuss with each other, record data, give presentations, write reports, etc. In the end, they come to know the importance of working with each other and, flourish in a complete team-building environment.

4. Boosts Curiosity

All STEM disciplines encompass “questioning” by students at every level. Be it Science or Math, we get to hear a lot of ‘what ifs’ and ‘hows’ from students to dig deeper into the subject. This inquisitiveness aroused by the STEM subjects helps keep their imaginative curiosity and innovation instinct alive.

This is one of the most vital features of STEM education. Students who are made habitual of this type of education since childhood, develop curiosity and innovation as their regular habits. This type of education enhances the critical way of thinking and empowers them to ask questions.

5. Enhances Problem Solving Skills

With the enhancement of critical thinking, students also learn problem-solving skills. By adapting STEM education from an early age children learn the ways of examining problems. Children can also create amazing plans to solve problems. Also, it helps students to look at the bigger picture and not from the smaller aspect.

Objectives Of STEM Education:

FOLLOWING are the  objectives of STEM education, take a look:

1. Meeting Demand For Highly Skilled Professionals

To stay afloat in the market, companies hire the best talent pool to help them stay competitive and relevant. People with 21st-century skills as well as STEM skills are the most sought-after. According to many researchers, there is a rise in professions that require STEM skills.

2. Skill Development

Living in the digital age it is pertinent to say that technology has become an integral part of living therefore the students skilled in digital technology are going to be beneficial. Having faced the coronavirus lockdown almost every student was forced to switch to online platforms to impart knowledge. STEM education also helps students develop skills like critical thinking, creative thinking, digital literacy, spatial reasoning, etc.

3. Helps To Create Equality

There is no gender of subjects. However, people attach genders to subjects as well as to occupations. Girls along with boys can then develop 21st-century skills and increase their employability rate. Furthermore, providing equal opportunities for each student towards exploring technologies through an integrated and interdisciplinary educational approach will take the world to the next level.

Components of STEM Education :

Attentive Learning

Learning attentively is quite a vital component of STEM education as it encourages students to think deeply and create a few assumptions in order to memorize things properly.

Personalized System of Learning

In this, there are various methods of learning such as the shift method which is provided by the instructor in this the students have a choice of learning things at their pace, choosing subjects according to their choice, and giving exams accordingly.

Problem-Based Learning(PBL)

This is a simple way in which students collect various data from the things they come across in their daily life and analyze it. They can come up with different solutions by applying scientific, mathematical, or technological approaches.

Pros and Cons of STEM Education:

Here are some of the prominent pros and cons of STEM education listed below:

Pros of STEM Education:

•           Widens career opportunities

•           Develops resilience

•           Develops communication, critical thinking, cognitive skills, etc.

•           Allows to understand the practical application of concepts

•           Helps in preparing students for future workforce

•           Helps in promoting gender equality

Cons of STEM Education

•           No proper guidelines/set of protocols

•           Might be costly

•           Requires a significant amount of time

Career Opportunities after STEM Education:

Well, it is one thing to study STEM and other to find jobs that are lucrative enough to give you reasons to keep doing what you are good at. So, here’s a list of career opportunities you can make after completing STEM courses.

Software Engineer – From designing, and developing to implementing software for all types of platforms, software engineers are always under the spotlight. The online world is hence the world made by these techies.

Cloud Architect – From the initial design through the building stage, cloud architects deal with cloud-based technology and platforms. They are the ones who take care of the platforms once they are up and running.

Web Developer – Today, every company has its website and all of them give their customers the best website experience. Web developers work on the front and back of websites to ensure they operate in the desired way for a good user experience. Coding is the basic need for becoming a web developer.

IT Manager – An IT manager’s role is similar to any other manager’s role, however, the only difference is that they look after all the work done in the IT department of a company to support the organization’s technology needs.

Astronomer – Fascination with celestial objects offers lucrative and interesting courses and professions in astronomy. Students take courses in calculus, astrophysics, astronomical techniques, and mechanics to further choose their career paths as college faculty members, a job at federal laboratories, and other aerospace sectors.

Electrical Engineer – Electrical engineers work from improving and creating electrical systems and devices to improving the human experience. These are other sought-after engineers as they shape everything from iPads and GPS navigation hardware to hydro, wind, and solar power generation systems.

Geologist – Career options in urban planning, mining and resource extraction, and primary education are opted for after doing courses in geology. Gaining knowledge of the planet’s surface and other related things help improve the ability to understand nature and its workings.

Mechanical Engineer – With the increase in mechanization, there is a growing need to research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. This is where mechanical engineers take the charge and help in the advancement of the entire industrial system.

Actuary – Though most of the calculative and analytical work can now be done by machines. But there would still be a need for exceptional brains to assess and manage financial risk by implementing statistical, financial, and mathematical theories.

Doctor – Doctors are the professionals who are responsible for seeking out several methods to restore the health of patients. STEM education also helps in building a career in the healthcare field by stimulating the medical essentials studied in high school.

Scientists – They are the people who are responsible for conducting scientific research in the area of advanced knowledge and trying to understand the world from a different perspective. STEM education helps people in building careers as scientists by improving their cognitive, critical, and experimenting skills.
