Entering the Fellowship with a skepticism toward traditional teaching, Deepika approached education with an innovative mindset. She created classrooms filled with active learning, where curiosity was encouraged, and every student was supported in exploring new ideas. Her teaching was a blend of hands-on projects and experiential learning, fostering a classroom environment that saw education as a journey rather than a set of rigid standards.
Deepika’s commitment to reforming education extends beyond her own classroom. She now actively works to empower other teachers, advocating for experiential learning and creative instruction. Her approach has not only impacted her students but also inspired fellow educators to embrace teaching methods that make learning more engaging and meaningful. Deepika’s journey underscores the importance of questioning norms and finding new ways to nurture students’ natural curiosity.
