Witnessing the power of education is truly awe-inspiring! The magic happens when students become active learners, driven by their curiosity and passion for knowledge. As an educator, it's incredibly rewarding to see those focused eyes and nimble fingers in action, creating a perfect symphony of engagement and connection.In the realm of education, this profound interaction between students and teachers sets the stage for growth and success. It's a reminder that teaching isn't about simply imparting knowledge—it's about fostering an environment where students thrive, taking ownership of their learning journey.Music, with its universal language, has a remarkable ability to captivate hearts and minds. It serves as a powerful tool for shaping young minds, instilling discipline, and cultivating creativity. By integrating music into education, we create an enriching experience that goes beyond the classroom, nurturing well-rounded individuals.🌱 Let's cultivate a love for learning together! 🌟#education #musiceducationmatters #studentlife #teachersoflinkedin #InspiringLearner #pathways

Dear Educators,Understand the concept of break activities. A very commonly practiced corporate principle which is used to create a break activity between two phases of activities which might be of very different nature. Alternatively, they can also be used to bind a group of people together for a common activity. A class or a lecture is surely one such type of activity. At #IITDelhi, I had the opportunity to attend the lectures of a very famed professor, who is known for his teaching methodology. His teaching style included starting the class with a 5 minute music piece. Initially it was difficult to ascertain if there was anything more than just a casual class to it. But later on, there was one big advantage I felt myself. the small 5 minute music session, cut me off from my pre-class activities and thoughts and bound me with the rest of the class. There was a "common object" between all of us now. And then when the lecture begun, we all were right into the discussions. The class ended with a music piece too, hinting our minds that an activity was over. I don't know if the professor meant to do this or not. But I have certainly had this lesson from that lecture. And I deem it an invaluable lesson in my academic life. You can ping me to know more about such breakout activities. Comment below if you know other ways of binding the class into one entity before you begin your lectures. #100daysofeducators101, Day 3#100daysofeducators101 is a 100 day learning series aimed at collating and sharing the best practices of the academia from an educator's point of view.

Why are drawing and music left out as important processes of literacy? This is a conversation I was blessed to have with an amazing innovator in early education Louise Debreczeny, Ed.D. Thrilled she took the time to share her insights and mail me a beautiful copy of her innovative Story Pictures learning system. As we look at our common processes for learning how to teach reading and writing it takes outside the box thinkers to step back and question WHY do we do it this way? Is this method of learning and teaching truly in the best interest of the child, or are we just doing it because it’s how we were taught and change is hard? I believe both music, second language acquisition and drawing are imperative to a holistic approach to educating children from birth, and educators in diverse fields need to start having conversations and collaborations. America has a long way to go to truly become leaders in education, and it seems we are falling behind other countries quickly. I don’t claim to have all the answers. My specialization is in the importance of early music education. But I know the only way we can find solutions, each through our own gifts and talents, is through starting the conversations and collaborations. I look forward to reading this innovative approach incorporating drawing into education and look forward to learning and collaborating with other educators in diverse fields. What ways do you think we can work to improve and innovate in education? #earlychildhoodeducation #preschooleducation #musiceducation #innovationineducation #collaborativelearning

We know that the best way to achieve mastery in a subject is to actively engage in the learning process, and improvisation is a great way to do that. Here are some activities you can use with students of all ages to bring this practice into your teaching.

TeaCHing Practice Day 003REWARD AND PUNISHMENTOn the third day of my teaching practice, my focus will be on Reward and Punishment. •REWARDWhen it was the third period of the day's lesson in which I was to take them Cultural and Creative Arts (C.C.A). The topic was centered on MUSIC, I was assisted by their class teacher.She started with a fun activity, leading them to clap their hands to make sounds. The boys were told to take a rhythm, and girls had another. It made the sound melodious and It was truly exciting! 😊I continued the topic by teaching them the definition of music, challenging them to recite it from their memory for a reward—a motivating experience where they eagerly participated.They attempted to meet the challenge for the reward (which was a soft drink). I know the ones who couldn't get the attempts, will be challenged the next time to get it right.PUNISHMENTThe pupils had a mathematics assignment given to them earlier yesterday, in which some didn't get done and were severely punished by their class teacher, they felt the pain as they got disciplined. Children want rewards because of the joy and satisfaction it gives them. On the other hand, they do not want punishment because of the pain and dissatisfaction that comes with it. Rewards and punishments may be material or non-material in nature. For instance, like what happens when a child receives a gift or a word of praise as a reward.Or,a whip on the palm or a severe scolding as a punishment. The above is under social learning. I learnt this term in one of my departmental courses. Lesson For Teachers : - Implementing Punishment and Reward in teaching your pupils, will mould them into bringing out the best in them. PS: I wore the same colour of cloth with them today: Green Colour, what a coincidence!😂I promise to take pictures with them next week.😀🤓#30DaysOfTeachingPractice#3rdDayOf30Days#TheEnthusiasticStudentTeacher

如果您的私立学校为10人或更多人提供教育，您需要注册您的私立学校、提供的课程以及允许任教的教师，这些私立学校包括：①教授主流学校所教科目的补习中心；②培训中心；③教授语言、音乐、舞蹈和艺术课程，为学生获得各自领域官方证书做准备的学校。但是，如果您的学校符合以下情况，您需要向私立教育委员会（CPE）注册：①提供文凭或学位课程，或某种形式的中后期证书；②提供全日制预备课程，为进入教育部主流学校的入学测试、分班考试或为外部考试做准备；③提供遵循外国或国际课程的全日制小学或中学教育；④是一所私立特殊教育学校。官网原文链接：https://lnkd.in/gMD8geBJIf your private school provides education to 10 or more individuals, you are required to register your private school, the courses offered, and the teachers permitted to teach. These private schools include: ① Tuition centers that offer subjects taught in mainstream schools; ② Training centers; ③ Schools that offer language, music, dance, and art courses and prepare students for official certificates in their respective fields. However, if your school falls into the following categories, you need to register with the Committee for Private Education (CPE): ① Providing diploma or degree courses, or some form of mid-to-late-stage certification; ② Offering full-time preparatory courses for admission tests, streaming examinations for entry into mainstream schools, or preparation for external examinations; ③ Providing full-time primary or secondary education following foreign or international curricula; ④ Being a private special education school.Original link: https://lnkd.in/gMD8geBJ

How my piano teacher indirectly made me a more effective academic student:Because of my busy schedule, I used to condense all my piano practice into one or two 4-hour sessions a week.However, I was not achieving the mastery I desired. Although my practice sessions felt fruitful, I was unable to consistently replicate what I had learned in my practice sessions during my lessons and performances.Seeing my frustration, my piano teacher introduced me to the concept of spaced repetition: reviewing information repeatedly in gradually increasing time intervals. I switched from two sporadic 4-hour sessions to four planned 1.5-hour sessions and instantly noticed improvement in my consistency despite less time practiced overall.These results inspired me to try spaced repetition in my classes, in which my ability to recall material during tests also improved dramatically. For the first time in school, I was able to accurately recall concepts in a class I had taken one or two quarters before.This simple technique works because it:🎯 Emphasizes actively reengaging with material instead of passively absorbing it🎯 Builds stronger connections between old and new material🎯 Breaks up complex material into several palatable sections🎯 Reinforces long-term memory building (see Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve below)No matter what you are trying to learn, spaced repetition is a powerful tool to enhance your learning efficiency.#Productivity #SpacedRepetition #Piano #SchoolPicture credits: @Bo Ae Chun

At any level of the educational system, this approach is useful. I focused on Valiant's song, "Dunce Cheque," this year and tried to relate the lyrics to topics we were covering in class. What ensued was a lively discussion, plus students also emailed me their interpretation of the song and had the motivation to read the book "Scammer's Yard" by Jovan Scott Lewis. If I can get them to read a book, then I have sparked their curiosity. That is the goal of teaching!https://lnkd.in/ei2DMVU7
