Teaching is a great responsibility. I teach English and believe that the ability to communicate, at a personal and societal level, is what builds strong communities and ensures ownership over one’s future. Thus, it’s important that we teachers spend a lot of time on our craft—deliberating the best ways to teach and make lessons fun, interactive, and relatable to students. Professional development thrives on discipline pedagogy and school departments meet to align goals and assignments and to discuss data assessment.

During our staff meeting that afternoon, my colleagues and I learned our school had six new students who were Syrian refugees.

Often, we forget our students come to class each day with a lot more on their minds than academics. Despite this, my students willingly express gratitude each morning.

While teaching a Western Civilization course to high school students, I found a unique opportunity to introduce the topic of critical thinking along with the subject matter.

Do you remember the first time you entered the school library as a child? I do. There were books everywhere.

As curriculums move away from an emphasis on content to skills, the time is right to use that move as an opportunity to better serve introverts in school.

Every year on December 22nd, India celebrates National Mathematics Day. This day has become an opportunity for schools across the country to spark curiosity, reduce fear, and make math an enjoyable subject for students.

It is my job to motivate and mold my students, to keep them engaged, to build reading and writing confidence in all who enter my virtual classroom.

The integration of practical, relevant life skills into the curriculum not only improves engagement, but also increases emotional well-being and real-world readiness.
