 STRATEGIES TO BOOST SUCCESS AT SCHOOL.

Wether your child is starting nursery, primary or high school, these little strategies can make a huge difference in your Childs enjoyment and progress during his schooling years:

• A good nights sleep
  If your child has been staying up late during the holidays, start enforcing an earlier bedtime about a week before they go back to school. Get them back into a set routine, as children need there rest to concentrate and follow what is going on in class.
• Check the school bag daily
  make sure you check your child’s school bag daily, for notes and permission slips from the teacher, rather than relying on your child to give them to you. It can be unpleasant for your little one to be the only student that didn’t wear the right clothes for an outing or forgot to bring a snack or money for a Cake n’ Candy sale.
• Teach your child to ask for what he needs
  It is especially important for a special needs child to tell a teacher that he doesn’t understand what she might be explaining, or if they need specific help. One way to teach your child this is to throw in some words during reading time that you know he will not understand. Let your child know that you are going to do this and, explain to them that need to stop you when they don’t understand the word and ask you to explain. Make sure he knows that teachers like it when children ask them questions, about new words or anything they don’t understand.
• Always go to parents evening
  Even if you know the teacher and speak to them when you pick your child up from school, make the effort to attend parent evenings in any case. You may miss out on key information that the special education teacher may not want to discuss in front of your child. Your child may also be upset or disappointed that you skipped.
• Teach social skills and manners
  Teach your child to be expected to say “please”, “thankyou” and “excuse me!”. If this is the first time they are going to school, start teaching them how to share, take turns and stand in a line. This is very important for special needs children, especially if they have a learning disability. You may have to repeat and enforce this behaviour for quite a while before they go to school, for it to become a habit to them and they fully understand what it means.
• Know your child’s timetable
  Ask your child’s special needs educator for a weekly schedule of what your child will be doing. This way you can prepare your child for what is happening daily, and you can ask more specific questions about happened at school that day.
• Go on family outings
  Special education needs to be continued by you, during school holidays and over weekends. This will help your child to go back to school after a weekend or a holiday with fewer problems. Take them to museums and the library, show and explain things to them, and later on ask them questions. This will keep their minds occupied and interested in the world around them.
• Play board games
  Board games are fun, but can be very educational for a special needs child. It will get them use to following specific rules. Start by reading the rules out loud at the beginning of the game, and ask your child to repeat them. If they are not sure wether something is allowed, let your child know that they must ask you, then go back to the rules and double-check.
• Get organised
  Find a specific place for all your child’s supplies like paper, scissors, crayons etc. and help them get into the habit of putting them back where they belong, the way they do at school. This also goes for shoes, jackets and school bags; when you cannot find these things in the morning the day gets off to a bad start, and for a special needs child, this can lead to the rest of the day also not going well.
• Talk to other parents
  Your child’s perception of what’s happening in the classroom may not always be accurate, so keep intouch with other parents whom you can call to touch base with.
• Practise at home
  Your child may find it difficult to certain activities at school, practise them at home with him until he feels comfortable, and this will make it easier for him to perform these tasks at school.
• Volunteer at school
  Be a special education volunteer at your child’s school. Go on class outings and help with parties or school concerts. With special needs children an extra set of hands is always welcome and your presence and involvement at your child’s school will be a comfort to them.
• Reading routine
  Your child can benefit enormously from you reading out aloud to them, at home everyday. Also, read the books with them that they are reading in school. Let them know, when they are reading a good book to let you know, as you would like to read it to.
• Show you care
  Always let your child know that you are interested in what they are learning and doing at school, no matter how busy you are.

TIPS FROM A TEACER.

Tips from a special education teacher:

• Always check your child’s homework, everyday and ask them to explain to you what they did. This will help to reinforce the concepts they have learnt.
• Give your child age appropriate books about subjects and topics they are most interested in.
• Celebrate your child’s successes. This will give them a personal feeling of accomplishment, and they will want to learn and progress further. Children thrive on positive reinforcement.

It is a wellknown fact that women in India are the victims of various multi dimensional problems and also the most vulnerable group because of the social structure and at present scenario there is an urgent need for concrete efforts. Indian women has been one of the major impediments in the way of womens empowerments. Illiteracy and semi- Illiteracy keep women in perpetual state of assettleness. Even for effective implementation of innumerable development programmes sponsored by the government and non-government sector the educated women in the work force are a must.

India has a high number of highly disciplined educated and professionally competent pool of women and has a law of universal primary education, if focus is given to higher education especially of women will surely give India a bright future. An educational institution has to face global competitions and inter national collaborations.

Education should look into physical, mental, intellectual, emotional spiritual values for growth and development. Though the primary stakeholders are teachers and students, there is an influence on them from the secondary stakeholders they are parents, society, management, government, employers etc

Three important aspects in the quality enhancement of education for women is

1. Confirm to requirements

2. Requirements keep on increasing

3. Quality enhancement is continuous

The education should focus to raise consciousness, motivate, articulate and make women self-reliant to participate. For effective educational work, the teacher and learner should be involved in policy planning and effective execution of development. Gender blindness of most of the decision-making institutions and professional bodies demand intervention, without adequate teaching material has caused lot of inconveniences to teachers and students.

Teachers accompanying learners in their growth and development:

The art and science of teaching should include a worldview and vision of the ideal human person to be educated. The teacher’s primary role to facilitate the growing relationship of the learner to truth, particularly in the matter of the subject being studied. The teacher creates the conditions, lays the foundations and provides the opportunities for the continual interplay of the students’ experience, reflection and action to occur.

A challenge to a teacher is to formulate questions that will broaden students’ awareness and impel them to consider view –points of others. To make teaching learner centered the learning process must include a pre-learning element, that of context, and a post learning element, that of evaluation. Personal knowledge and care of the student by the teacher is equally important as it is the hallmark of good education. A conducive environment and commitment to values, from the learner’s point of view- readiness to learn and readiness to grow should be taken into consideration.

Learning experience should be the development of the more complex learning skills of understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Reflection is the process where by the learner makes he learning experiences her own, gets the meaning of the learning experience for self and for others. A thoughtful reconsideration of some subject matter, experience, idea, purpose reaction, in order to grasp its significance more fully is essential.

If learning were to stop at experience, it would not be integral for it would lack the component of reflection where in the learner are impelled to consider the human meaning and significance of what they study and to integrate that meaning as responsible learners who grow as persons of competence, conscience and compassion.

The term action refers to internal human growth based upon experience that has been reflected upon as well as its manifestation externally. Involving interiorized choices and choices externally manifested. The student’s attitude, priorities, commitments, habits, values, ideals, internal human growth flowing out into action for others is most essential.

Periodic evaluation of a student’s growth in attitudes, priorities and actions consistent with being a person for others is essential.

Thus to conclude the basic elements of cooperative learning are:

·        Positive interdependence

·        Face to face interaction

·        Individual accountability

·        Interpersonal and small group skills

·        Group processing
