HAPPY CLASSROOM: CBP
On 7th December, 2019,
Saturday, a workshop on ‘HAPPY CLASSROOM’, under the Capacity
Building Programme, was organized by the Centre of Excellence, CBSE
Delhi, at B.M.V.B, ASMA, G.K-II. The resource persons were, Dr. Pooja Jaitlley
and Ms. Gagandeep. It was attended by Mrs. Usha Chauhan and Mrs. Priya Pathak.
The workshop was very informative
as well as an awareness drill. It basically reflected on the fact that how a
person in the capacity of a teacher, take his or her happiness, so casually. We
need to realize that a happy mind is found in a happy body similarly, only a
happy person can be a happy teacher so that the flower of happiness can bloom
into the classroom and the children can take back home the fragrance (memories)
of a happy day. And the next day, we can
hope to see children walking into the class room anticipating one more happy
learning experience. Only then, can learning become a happy and willful
experience instead of a forced one. But, the highlights of the workshop were
the ‘TOOLKIT’ for Emotional Intelligence Regulation, i.e.
1. S.T.O.P
2. C.A.R.E
3. PL.E.A.S.E
We understood that teaching makes
different demands on our emotions but we are expected to be calm and
controlled, even in stressful situations which is possible only by regulating
our emotions. Many more topics like Self-management, Social
Competence as in Social awareness and Relationship management
were also discussed along with the topics like Student – Teacher relationship
and ways to foster Happiness into the class.
While discussing the misbehavior
in the class, it was said that though, misbehaviors can be annoying, obnoxious
and hurtful at times, the most important thing is to understand the ‘WHY’
and it will automatically bring you to the solution ‘HOW’ as there can
be many Psychological, Environmental and Biological Factors, leading to
‘WHY’ and the discovery would surely lead us to the trouble shooting ‘HOW’. And
in relation to this the topic of Functional Behavior Analysis was also
discussed in five steps:
1. Identifying
the Problem
2. Collect
Information to Determine Function
3. Categorize
the behavior: Form a Hypothesis
4. Planning
Intervention and
5. Evaluating
the effectiveness of the Plan
On the whole, it was a great
learning experience and we thank our Principal and the school management for
giving us this opportunity.
