Teaching is Not a Profession but a Service
Topic: Teaching is Not a Profession but a Service to Society
Key Points from the Session:
1. Philosophy of Teaching
Teaching is a service, not just a profession.
Example: "Barber without a laser (teacher)" – implies lack of precision or purpose without a good teacher.
2. Collaboration with Students
Work collaboratively with students, especially in projects (involves both teacher and student).
Support and mentor bright students – aim for good quality outcomes.
Teachers should be role models – demonstrating effort, resilience, and a drive to convey the best knowledge.
3. Personalized Approach
"Jaise bimari, vaise dava" – Tailor teaching methods to student needs.
4. Session-Oriented Output Approach
Every session should be planned with a focus on attendance and output.
Use rubrics for consistent evaluation across 4-5 parameters.
Evaluate students regularly – example: "16 out of 25, but you can do better".
5. Evaluation Techniques
Focus on how you evaluate:
Time-bound tasks
Performance tracking (especially of regular students).
6. Use of Technology
Adopt a "ride the technology wave" mindset.
Use educational tools to enhance teaching effectiveness.
Technology is a must for modern teaching practices.
7. Remedial Actions
Conduct remedial lectures for underperforming students.
8. Counseling Support
Every institution must have a professional counselor.
Conduct mind tests and API (Aptitude, Personality, Interest) tests for student development.
9. Co-Curricular Activities
Emphasize co-curricular involvement to support holistic student growth.
