own education. I will assist my students to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are,
as well embrace the differences of others.
"Every classroom has its own unique community; my role as the teacher will be to assist each child in
developing their own potential and learning styles. I will present a curriculum that will incorporate
each different learning style, as well as make the content relevant to the students' lives. I will
incorporate hands-on learning, cooperative learning, projects, themes, and individual work that engage
and activate students learning."

5. In what ways do you encourage creativity in your classroom?

Answer 5.

 Create a compassionate, accepting environment. Since being creative requires going out on
a limb, students need to trust that they can make a mistake in front of you.
 Be present with students’ ideas. Have more off-the-cuff conversations with students. Find out
what their passion areas are, and build those into your approach.
 Encourage autonomy. Don’t let yourself be the arbiter of what “good” work is. Instead, give
feedback that encourages self-assessment and independence.
 Re-word assignments to promote creative thinking. Try adding words like “create,”
“design,” “invent,” “imagine,” “suppose,” to your assignments. Adding instructions such as
“Come up with as many solutions as possible” or “Be creative!” can increase creative
performance.
 Give students direct feedback on their creativity. Lots of students don’t realize how creative
they are, or get feedback to help them incorporate “creative” into their self-concept. Explore
the idea of “creative competence” alongside the traditional academic competencies in literacy
and mathematics. When we evaluate something, we value it! Creating a self-concept that
includes creativity.
 Help students know when it’s appropriate to be creative. For example, help them see the
contexts when creativity is more or less helpful—in a low-stakes group project versus a
standardized state assessment.
 Use creative instructional strategies, models, and methods as much as possible in a variety
of domains. Model creativity for students in the way you speak and the way you act. For
example, you could say “I thought about 3 ways to introduce this lesson. I’m going to show
you 2, then you come up with a third,” or show them a personal project you’ve been working
on.
6. How do you adjust your style to the less-motivated student?

Answer 6.

1 – Make them see it as part of their daily life

Try as hard as you can to find a way to relate the subject to their daily lives. It will make it much more
likely for them to be invested in what you are explaining. For example, if the subject is literature, try
to show what they can learn from the characters’ behaviour that they can apply to their own lives.

2 – Make it fun

Yes, sometimes, some subjects are just not fun. You are well aware of it, but you still have to teach
this “boring” subject to them. How about making the learning process a bit more fun? You can try to
create some kind of competition, or game, that can help them to learn, or maybe even use songs or
videos. Sometimes, even a funny cartoon can be what you need to make them have a laugh and never
forget the subject.

3 – Show the relevance to their future careers

Students think that, at the end of the day, they are at school so they can get ready to get good jobs in
the future. This is how most of the people (parents included) see school nowadays, unfortunately. So
take advantage of it, and try to relate your subject to how it can be applied in a work environment. Tell
them all about how doctors, engineers, IT developers, writers or dancers can use that information to
become successful.

4 – Let them participate in the whole process

If you want to see your students really engaged about something, let them participate. And not only
after you distribute the tasks but from the very beginning. Ask them for input on the subject that will
be presented, which resources will be used and how they will be evaluated. And talking of resources…

5 – Use multiple resources

To avoid students’ sleeping on their desks during your presentation, try using multiple resources. The
human voice can be very hypnotizing to some people, and others are easy distracted by it, as you
know. Bring videos, music, slideshows, toys and games, tell stories, bring in a special guest for a talk.

7. What do you see as the major challenges of this position and how would you meet them?

11. What are your current research interests? Have you involved your students in your research?

Answer 11.

different areas.

12. How would you create a behaviour modification for a student with ongoing behaviour problems?

Answer 12.
 Institutes have seen an upsurge in the number of students with emotional or behavioral
disturbance (EBD); however, as is the case with academic interventions, a student is not placed in a
special education program just because he or she is receiving behavioral interventions from level
three. Students in special education programs with an emotional or behavioral issue will have
a behavioral intervention plan (BIP), but they are far from the only ones receiving behavioral
interventions.

The upsurge in the number of EBDs could be due in part to how we define them. Not all emotional or
behavioral disturbances are long term; sometimes symptoms only last a short while, such as is often
the case when a student is depressed after losing a loved one or when his or her parents are divorcing.
An outburst from a grieving student might be considered disruptive; if the behavior continues, it is
important to assign that student to interventions from level two of the RTI framework or even send the
student to the school counselor for individual help if the disturbance is ongoing. Dealing effectively
with students with EBD, in whatever form it occurs, is crucial, especially given the growing concerns
of educators and parents about school shootings.

13. How do you use technology to enrich your lectures?

Answer 13.

By creating Power point presentations, Simulations, Videos and Audios.

14. What made you to nominate for Karnataka educational awards 2019?

15. In a word, what do you want to achieve in coming year?

Answer 15.

16. Describe your achievements on the noble service?

Answer 16.

Involving in different campaigns of socio-economic activities and creating an awareness in

students about the social problems.
