Self Initiatives

The additional efforts taken to ensure and enhance the quality of education for the students in the larger context:

I am a proactive teacher. Without any official orders/ instructions, with due permission from the Principal, I have organised many online web based training sessions for my students and staff in the vidyalaya to prepare them meet the challenges of the 21st century. These all were done to help them learn design the content of their own website, and learn project based learning and teaching on ThinkQuest. This intended to train them learn the 21st century skills. I understand the challenges of the 21st century waiting ahead. They are:

1. Student/teacher collaboration

2. Writing assignments

3. Creative expression

4. Peer reviews

5. Homework /assignments

f.       Cross-cultural exchanges

Involvement and participation of the students of my vidyalaya in a project/ research on eBooks have provided them a kind of barbiturate to get infused with their own ideas and imagination. And I have been successful to greater extent in my mission.

Nearly 320 students/teachers of my school have their own websites and they are working on that enthusiastically as and when they get the net connectivity in the school premises.

I monitor their works, provide suggestions for improvement, have engaged them in project based learning and inspire to enhance learning skills with great zeal.

Besides these all, I have proactively initiated in various activities of the school as and when demanded. The initiatives undertaken as follow:

a.       Comparing of almost all the important programmes of the schools / preparing students for the same

b.      Compiling, editing. proof reading and finally publishing the school magazine, ‘Kislaya’ (a combination of three languages) as the Chief Editor.

c.       Contribution of language in preparing the school brochure

d.      Giving language to the school Annual Planner

e.       Publication of school English Bulletin Board

f.       Reporting of school events in English

g.      Computer Lab I/C (School has 54 systems, one laptop, 3 LCDs, Broadband Connectivity, and 24 systems connected with internet) its safety and maintenance.

h.      School website I/C (www.jnvborai.com)

i.        Extending helping hands to teachers and students in web based activity

j.        Participation in CCA, sports, and other co curricular activities
