शिक्षा यात्रा और अपनों का सहयोग

-

सोहन [दायीं ओर] (बदला हुआ नाम) कक्षा 5 का छात्र है जो शुरुआती दिनों से हमारे स्पर्श शिक्षा केन्द्र का विद्यार्थी है। हमारी स्पर्श लीडर तृप्ति कहती हैं कि शुरुआत में सोहन को इंग्लिश के अल्फबेट्स आदि पढ़ने/पहचानने में मुश्किल आती थी और उसका मन भी कम लगता था। 

बीते सप्ताह से सोहन अंग्रेज़ी के छोटे छोटे शब्दों को पढ़ने में लगा हुआ है और अब ख़ुद से अपना नाम भी लिख लेता है। मज़ेदार बात यह है इसमें सोहन के पिताजी उसकी मदद कर रहे हैं कि कैसे वह फोनिक साउंड सीख पाए और अंग्रेज़ी पढ़ना सीख सके!

हम चाहते हैं कि जिस तरह सोहन के पिता ने उसकी शिक्षा यात्रा में सहयोग करके उससे जुड़ने का काम शुरू किया है। वैसे स्पर्श कक्षा का हर बच्चा अपने माता-पिता को शिक्षा से जोड़ सके और वे अपने बच्चों को सहयोग कर सकें।

सोहन जैसे 350 से अधिक बच्चों की शिक्षा यात्रा में आप सहयोग कर सकते हैं: 9993164658@okbizaxis

What it means to connect with the 'self'!

Humans have bodies. During the century technology has been distancing us from our bodies. We have been losing our ability to pay attention to what we smell and taste. Instead, we are absorbed in our smartphones and computers. We are more interested in what is happening in cyberspace than in what is happening down the street. It is easier than ever to talk to my cousin in Switzerland, but it is harder to talk to my husband over breakfast because he constantly looks at his smartphone instead of at me. In the past, humans could not afford such carelessness. Ancient foragers were always alert and attentive. Wandering in the forest in search of mushrooms, they watched the ground for any telltale bulge. They listened to the slightest movement in the grass to learn whether a snake might be lurking there. When they found an edible mushroom, they ate it with the utmost attention to distinguish it from its poisonous cousins. Members of today's affluent societies don't need such keen

My Experiment With Gratitude

We live in a world where everyone is chasing some or the other thing in life. In this journey of moving from point A to B we act upon our emotions, needs, greed, aspirations and a lot of other things, in consequence, we produce joy, happiness, stress, sorrow, pressure, anger, peace, blame, gratitude and so on. When I was reading Vivekananda a few years ago, he mentioned somewhere in one of his speeches that instead of playing blame games we can take a pause and look inside to find the source of everything going out from us. This thought becomes dear to me when I was crossing boundaries and meeting people for personal development of mine by listening to their stories. Two years ago during a residential program, I have realized the power of gratitude, how it can create magic in the world we are dealing with!                       Since one and a half year, I am practising exercises of gratitude to which I become familiar while walking on the streets, reading books and having fo

The Age Old Struggle with English

The relationship of government schools with teaching the language English is a common narrative. Children in our partner schools find the language a source of discomfort and non-identification. In a dialogue with the Principal, he shares, “I would honestly say that we are not able to give necessary importance to students learning English. We, also, do not expect them to. But, now, we believe that our children have no limits and can learn anything they wish to.”  We find this as a good time to partner teachers and children to make the surroundings a TLM. Children can be seen having fun labelling the tree, doors, chairs and other things around them in both languages (English and Hindi). Most of the older children, being at a concrete operational stage of cognitive development, are more likely to grasp from concrete knowledge-building experiences from their immediate environment. Most children from class 3rd to 5th remember the names of things around them in English.
