in the character building of the children.

physical challenges themselves, which may result in low back, neck and shoulder
pain; tired feet, aching legs, headaches, insomnia and stress. Often, the
number one concern for teachers is back pain when standing. Whether you’re a
nursery school teacher or a college professor, job-related challenges can be

as a part of their program-‘Chalo Adarsh Bane-A step towards India’s bright
future’ on 21st Feb,2020 . Ms. Shikha Saxena and Ms. Sameexa Pandey attended
the workshop.
The focus of the workshop was on how a person especially the adolescents gets addicted towards drugs that leads to naïve
minds succumbing to consume excess of alcohol and drugs thereby leading to
impaired control, disabilities and a negative social image. Expounding upon the reasons
and situations that lead to such an abuse, Swamiji also dealt with the indispensable
role played by family, friends, school and a conducive environment to tackle
such issues.
A lively interaction with the spokesperson was done
to learn the truth about drugs and alcohol, including what they are, how they
work, why people become addicted and their link with crime and social problems.
It was discussed that the longer these problems go unnoticed or ignored, the
deeper rooted they become, often with devastating effects for the children,
their families, their schools and the community at large. Educating young
people and raising awareness is the
first step in helping them to protect themselves against the pressures and
temptations that lie ahead. If the
problem is addressed at the school level, then it will help in lowering the
alarmingly rapid increasing of drug dependent teenagers in our country

REPORT
The workshop was based on understanding life
skills and examining the importance of life skills in the teaching-learning
process. Emphasis was laid on ten core life skills which one should adhere to:
self- awareness, empathy, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision
making, problem solving, effective communication, interpersonal relationship,
coping with stress and coping with emotions. The objective of this workshop was
self-exploration and self-introspection.
The resource person highlighted the key
issues involving mankind. Humans become what they think or assume about themselves.
Some of these assumptions, without logic-based verification act as nails and
clip the wings of humans, disabling them from living the way they want to live
(that is joyfully)!!It is a normal human problem that one is
not having cordial relationship with his/her family members, colleagues and
even strangers. This is basically because of three reasons which are
assumptions, arrogance and ego. As human beings we have to overcome all of
these by ignoring the preconceived notions about others and living in reality.
Reality is the universal truth. The speaker urged the participants to
look back into their lives and examine how their behaviour and decisions could
have led to different consequences, if life skills principles had been used. He
urged the educators to work for the holistic awareness of
one’s pupil. It includes right feeling, right acceptance and right thoughts.
We, as educators need to respect our students by listening them carefully. He
emphasized that a successful education lies at the core of creating an
insightful and responsive individual.

Some of the strategies
for Inclusion discussed by the experts are as follows:-
Teacher’s
role in the classroom: A teacher has
a special role to play when trying to maximize the learning potential of
students with special needs. The teacher facilitates learning by encouraging,
prompting, and by interacting
Physical space: the physical space of the classroom supports an inclusive
learning environment. To list a few aspects; low sound work-areas for children
with ADHD, disabled -friendly classes and corridors, classroom décor- an inclusive
classroom needs to be decorated in a way that does not create distraction.
Peer & Parents Support: It minimizes the problem of teasing/bullying and provides
opportunities for cooperative learning and parents also need to help the child
to develop his/her skills and to help with the reinforcement of learning that
happens.
The
resource persons also discussed the strategies
to assist teachers in meeting the needs of students in an inclusive classroom

It was an interactive workshop based
on value inculcation in children. The resource person connected the topic to
the classroom experiences of the teachers and the role of parents.
She insisted that it is the
responsibility of a teacher to develop correct attitude in a child. Values and
Life Skills that children imbibe in school are the two important pillars of
their personality.
She insisted not to teach Value Education
as a subject but to integrate it in the curriculum especially languages through
situation based activities. She also suggested that schools should conduct
parenting sessions regularly to create awareness among parents and involve them
in the character building of the children.
“Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth”- Pablo Picasso
Art and the importance of art in a student’s life are
predetermined and help in the replenishment of withering of grass of the mind
and various static characteristics. The
approach of looking at the world from a different perspective marks a child’s
first step towards “art”, which provides an endearing platform to these young
minds, wherein they could simply paint the message they want to give to the
world.

bring out their creativity and imagination, Ahlcon International organized

The lenses we wear to look at children defines the way we deal with children.
In their formative years, children need a
secure, positive, and comfortable environment to help them learn and grow. As
children spend a significant part of their childhood in schools, it is
imperative that the ambience is positive and nurturing where they feel safe and
secure on the premises and with the care providers.
With the aim of making teachers the safety agents
for students, a session on 'Child Protection' was conducted by Ms. Sunita Rajiv
on 11th July , 2019. The focus was on identifying and responding to
vulnerability, child abuse and neglect, as well as developing best practice
policy and procedures to keep the kids in our care safe. She mentioned about
the vulnerabilities that are often present in cases of abuse. Substance abuse,
family violence and mental illness (the 'toxic trio') are the main indicators
to look out for. Discussion on different categories of child abuse, namely physical,
emotional and sexual abuse, neglect and exposure to intimate partner violence
and signs and indicators of each type of abuse was done.
“School Safety” is about creating safe
environment for children, starting from their homes to their schools and back.
This includes safety from any kind of abuse, violence, psycho-social issue.
Many useful tips were shared with teachers which can be helpful in identifying
the problem and to understand it and
explore possible solutions.
·
Create a relationship where children can
express their views, concerns, anguish, fear . Try to engage with children in
informal discussions.
·
Be a good listener. Share and discuss various
issues and problems which children are facing either in school or at home.
·
Say NO to corporal punishment. Use positive
reinforcement techniques like dialogue and counselling to discipline children.
·
Encourage children to put forward their views
before the adults and the community
·
Spend some time with the child privately,
without being imposing, humiliating and creating an embarrassing situation for
the child.
·
Help the child express her/his problem either
through drawing and painting or by writing a story or simply talking to you or
the school counsellor/social worker or to a friend in the class.
In the
end, Headmistress, Ms. Anju Gupta said,” By ensuring we have the right policies
and procedures in place, we can make a big difference to the kids we come into
contact with. Working together can help in
creating and strengthening a protective environment around children. She also advised
the teachers to follow the tips in class and conduct safety sessions on regular
basis.
HELP OTHERS STAND TALL
Educators have the
opportunity to make a huge impact on their students – however, they face many
physical challenges themselves, which may result in low back, neck and shoulder
pain; tired feet, aching legs, headaches, insomnia and stress. Often, the
number one concern for teachers is back pain when standing. Whether you’re a
nursery school teacher or a college professor, job-related challenges can be
reduced or avoided, especially if you know how to improve posture.
Highlighting the same
problem, a workshop was conducted for teachers on 5th July, 2019 by Dr. Neha
Narula from QI Spine Clinic,India's largest network of back, neck & spine
specialists dedicated to treating severe back & spine conditions non-surgically.The
doctors at QI Spine Clinic use advanced technology and latest research-based
techniques to diagnose and isolate the root cause of back pain and customize
treatment based on the diagnosis & patient history. Dr. Neha discussed the
various issues faced by teachers due to their posture and work routine at
schools. She demonstrated some simple exercises which can be taken up at work
place for small relaxing breaks . She also suggested why it is important to
create working and learning environments that are both safer and healthier, and
for staff to adopt better working habits, leading to improved well-being for
them . According to her, musculoskeletal health interventions can also help
reduce long term costs, boost staff performance and produce better academic
outcomes for pupils.
The workshop
concluded with an interactive session where many teachers cleared their doubts
and got an insight about the small preventive measures they can take for a
healthy lifestyle.

Mastering The Masters
Parenting session was conducted by Ms Usha Pathania,
Director- Academics of Mahattattva on 2nd Feb,2019 for the young parents of
Ahlcon International. The main take away for the parents was –“Parenting isn't a practice, It's daily experience”. She laid emphasis on the fact that our child's world is different from an adults world. Technology has affected relationship of a parent and achild . She told that yesterday's luxuries are today's needs and Children have become more aware and demanding. Now a days parenting is no more an effortless job due to the changed dynamics of family and Society. Joint families are no longer the norm. Parenting is very individual, yet there are some common principles. Good parenting is not about the style of parenting but about the understanding and love.
She discussed with the group of parents that how they have to be involved in
their child's life and at the same time give them space and freedom. It is all about nurturing , monitoring closely and setting limits from a very young age. On the flip side it is also about praising the child, allowing freedom and teaching discipline.
A child spends 6 to 7 hours at school and teacher takes over the role of a parent. Children learn through experience and teachers have to take care to turn a child's curiosity into creativity.She briefed them that a child's creativity is 98% at 5 years 32% at 10 years and 10% at 15 years of age. Therefore, it's good to catch them young. The session was very helpful for the young parents of today.

The guests shared some of their life experiences and how they have simplified their lives through various aids and use of technology.They apprised students about how they find the way to their house using remote, use of level indicator to check the level of water in glass,an aid to identify colours and an aid to identify the denomination of currency notes.They also trained the children how to help a visually impaired to guide the way and help them in other aspects of life.Children were highly involved and showed great enthusiasm and interest in these.They also asked many questions from the guests.The guests left the students and teachers highly motivated and sentimental.The next leg of our research programme is 'A visit to the blind school' by some of the students of class III.
