I express a warm welcome to the entire student and parent community from the bottom of my heart. With the passing of one more year of PBIS fraternity I express the deep sense of my gratitude to all the people who have supported us directly or indirectly in imparting meaningful sensible and quality education to our children.
I strongly feel that,
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, consider teaching your children all the things you were never taught.
Material wears out but knowledge stays.
We in PBIS believe that students want and need to learn as much as they need the basic necessities of life. An educator's primary job is to fill that primal need for learning by creating engaging and relevant learning experiences every day. The greatest gift a teacher can give students is motivating them to experience repeated learning success. Students learn best by doing, and active teaching encourages active learning.
Teachers should treat students as active participants in the learning process, providing them with skills, such as:
- How to plan their study.
- How to make the key notes and make it presentable.
- How to retain the important information.
- How to express themselves in a confident and effective manner.
We in PBIS provide ample opportunities to our students, so that they should be aware of their own learning preferences, and teachers should assist with creating plant to develop other learning skills. Educational tools are a means to an end. For example, technology used appropriately can greatly magnify the students' capacity to learn and the teachers' capacity to teach, inspire, and motivate.
We do believe that having access to knowledge resources is as important to a child's education as the actual curriculum content. Relevant and current information must be at the teachers' and students' fingertips to provide answers when the questions are still fresh. Information "on demand" is more valuable than information "just in case."
We in PBIS believe that strong relationships between schools, families, and the community are essential to the academic success of all students. Education is a shared responsibility between schools, families, and the community, with the best results coming when all three work together. In fact, I believe the three most critical dynamics of school improvement are teaching and learning, school climate, and family involvement. Research tells us that the greatest indicator of student success is the level of family involvement in education. This comes at a time when more children than ever before in United States history have working mothers and fathers. Therefore, schools must take the initiative in developing and sustaining effective partnerships. A well-planned visionary partnership is necessary for all students to succeed.
I conclude by giving a mention of this beautiful thought
The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.
