“Empowering Educators: Mastering Curriculum Decision Making”

Effective curriculum decision making is the backbone of exceptional education. It has the power to inspire, engage, and transform students, teachers, and entire school communities. Yet, for many educators, curriculum development and implementation can be a daunting and complex task.

The ever-changing educational landscape, diverse student needs, and competing stakeholder demands can make it challenging to create and implement a curriculum that truly supports student success.

"Empowering Educators: Mastering Curriculum Decision Making" is designed to address this critical need.

This book that aims to empower educators to take charge of curriculum decision making, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to create exceptional learning experiences for all students.

'இது யாருடைய வகுப்பறை?' என்கின்ற இந்த ஒப்பற்ற நூலானது வகுப்பறையின் சுவர்களை தகர்த்தெறிந்து கல்வி ஒரு வாழ்வியலாக மாற்றுவதில் ஒரு முத்தாய்ப்பாக செயல்படுகிறது என்பதில் எந்த வித மாற்றுக் கருத்தும் இல்லை.

எப்போதும் சுஜாதா, ராஜேஷ் குமார் இவர்களுடன் சுற்றி வந்த என்னை வேறொரு பாணியில் இழுத்துச் சென்றார் ஆயிஷா. இ. நடராசன் அவர்கள். ஆரம்பத்தில் அந்த இழுப்பை ஒரு சுருக்குக் கயிறு போல் உணர்ந்தேன். நாளடைவில் என் சுய முன்னேற்றத்திற்கு இடப்பட்ட பூமாலை என அறிந்தேன். சற்று அவருடன் உலாவலாமே! என்றும் எண்ணம் வந்தது. இப்புத்தகம் 7 கட்டுரைக் களஞ்சியங்களை உள்ளடக்கியது. 'இது யாருடைய வகுப்பறை?' என்று ஒரு ஆசானாக மாணவர்களிடம் கேட்டால் 'இது எங்கள் வகுப்பறை' எனற பதிலே வருகிறது. இப்பதிலானது மேலும் ஒரு கேள்விக்கணையைத் தூண்ட பின்பு 'அங்கு நமக்கு என்ன வேலை!!!' என மறுமுனையில் மூளை குதற என் மனதிலோ 'இது நம் வகுப்பறை சார்' என்று யாரையாவது சொல்ல வைக்க ஏதேனும் வழி உள்ளதா என்ற தேடலில் இத்தொகுப்புறையில் உழன்றேன்.

Excited to announce that I've officially earned my Certified Six Sigma Belt!

This journey has deepened my understanding of quality management and process improvement, equipping me with the tools to drive efficiency and elevate outcomes in my work.

Looking forward to applying these skills in real-world scenarios and collaborating with like-minded professionals!

microRNA

Gunilla Karlsson-Hedestam, chairperson of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine 2024, said that although there are no clear applications of miRNAs yet, understanding them is the first step towards further research.

*Medicine Nobel 2024 awarded to Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvkun for discovery of microRNA*

Ambros and Ruvkun’s groundbreaking discovery revealed a completely new principle of gene regulation that turned out to be essential for multicellular organisms, including humans, the Nobel Assembly said.

“Their surprising discovery revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation. MicroRNAs are proving to be fundamentally important for how organisms develop and function.”

MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are small, non-coding molecules of RNA. They are typically around 19-24 nucleotides long and play an important role in determining how much messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic information, eventually gets translated into protein.

Pedagogy is important for teachers

Understanding and implementing pedagogy can improve the quality of your teaching and help you connect with students. By being mindful of which learning theories you are using and how they impact the class, you can help students achieve deeper, more meaningful learning.

By combining elements of different pedagogical approaches, teachers develop more informed and better suited classroom approaches for themselves. But with teacher workload on the rise, many simply don’t have the time to study these techniques.
By giving teachers more time to study their profession, schools will benefit from the new ideas teachers will bring to the classroom and the impact they will have on learners.

Pedagogical approach - A pedagogical approach is an entirely unified way of looking at teaching. It takes a majority of elements from one of the overall approaches to pedagogy, such as Behaviourism, Constructivism or Liberationism, and applies that approach to all aspects of teaching.

Pedagogical technique - A pedagogical technique is more granular than an entire approach. It’s usually a specific set of actions that the teacher employs in the classroom. This could be computational thinking, deep learning or flipped learning.

Teaching relies on a teachers’ knowledge of how learning works and how students receive and process tasks.

Metricocracy is NOT a Synonymous of Meritocracy.

Education is a market rather than a citizen’s right and the state’s duty.

Knowledge is a Commodity and NOT a means of becoming more Humane.

Students are Customers, instead of Future Citizens

Research is at the Cost of Teaching – Learning

The Undue Emphasis on Research to the Exclusion of Teaching

Creating Two Tracks: Universities should consider Separate Tracks for Research-Focused and Teaching -Focused Faculty Members

நவராத்திரி, சக்தி தேவியின் ஒன்பது வடிவங்களை கௌரவிக்கும் நேரமாக கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.
ஒவ்வொன்றும் பல்வேறு நற்பண்புகளைக் குறிக்கின்றன.

ஒன்பது நாட்கள் நீடித்த கடுமையான போருக்குப் பிறகு, அரக்கன் மகிஷாசுரனை துர்கா தேவி வென்றதை நினைவுகூரும் விழாவாக இது கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.
விஜயதசமி என்று அழைக்கப்படும் பத்தாம் நாள், இராவணன் மீதான ராமரின் வெற்றியைக் குறிக்கிறது.
இது நீதியின் இறுதி வெற்றியைக் குறிக்கிறது. இந்த திருவிழா வீரம், நல்லொழுக்கம் மற்றும் நன்மையின் சக்தி போன்ற மதிப்புகளை உள்ளடக்கியது.

Navaratri Pooja 2024 Check out this Presentation designed by Asokan Narayanaswamy.

The moment of truth! The culmination of years of tireless effort, dedication, and perseverance. My mentee Mrs.M.Jeyasunadari stands poised, yet perhaps trembling slightly, as she prepares to defend her life's work - her Ph.D. thesis.

The room is electrified with intellectual energy. The examiners probe, pushing her to justify and elaborate, but she stands firm, her arguments solid. Her confidence grows with each successfully parried question.

In this instant, the bond between mentor and mentee is palpable. Shared struggles, victories, and moments of doubt have forged an unbreakable connection. I have witnessed her transformation from student to scholar, and now, she stands ready to embark on a new journey, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resilience to tackle the challenges ahead.

Congratulations, Dr.!

Congratulations to her Supervisor.
