Teacher’s induction programme

/0 Comments/in /by

The lull has been broken and the AVM campus is buzzed with hum of activities. Riding on the back of multifold training sessions, the academic 2010-11 has begun. The induction programme was planned and organized for AVM teachers to be more effective, more innovative and more creative.

The training programme started with a hand on experience of Atmiya Vidya Mandir’s Information Management System (AIMS) catering to the need of technically equipped working environment. Through this session, the teachers were trained to effectively utilize this networking system and stay connected and also remain globally fashioned. The next phase of training was all about implementing the sensational CCE(comprehensive and continuous evaluation) scheme which is a remarkable step by CBSE to redefine and ensure overall development of a child in school; nevertheless ,it relatively render the existing teaching approach of Atmiya Vidya Mandir. The next session of the training was all about a detailed discussion and interaction on lesson delivery plan.

Finally, the training ended with a demonstration of preparing and using teaching material and teaching aids which seems to be to be pivotal.

On Failure

/0 Comments/in , /by

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t quit,
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—-
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out—-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Moving Towards Where We Wanted To Be

/0 Comments/in /by

Everybody wants to develop and, infact, everybody is developing in his/her way. Yet sometimes we are confused that whether we are going in the right direction or not.

It requires a clarity of destination in our mind and a whole lot of determination to reach the destination.

It also happens that many a times the destination of our life changes after reaching a certain stage of life. That may be for the good and equally for the bad as well.

Nevertheless, what we really need is somebody who can redirect us to our Goal and keep reiterating about our destination with which we had begun our journey. They may be our friends, teachers, spouse, children or parents.

In a nutshell, we must keep our eyes focused on our Goal, always. As it is rightly said, “Eyes off the destination & you invite an accident.”

Just a quick update really..

So excited about the elections coming up this Saturday for the Head Boy and the choosing of the House Captains by the students.

The students, the teachers, the admin staff and the hostel staff all are now appropriately grouped into four houses: Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram and Suharadam. More on the House structure in our future updates.

Looking forward to this Saturday and all those to follow during the year. To witness the endeavour of our dear students, their team-spirit, sportsmanship, big-heartedness yet keen competitiveness and a lot more.

Stay tuned for updates on this front!

Hold back now as we take off…

Key to Success

/0 Comments/in , /by
Success is an inevitable aspect of human life, but it’s a bitter truth of life that not everyone gets success. The ladder of success has only three steps. If a person climbs these three steps, definitely he will get success.
1st Step: Set your Goal. To achieve something, first we have to define what we want to achieve. Before starting the car you must have to define your destination, this is the first step to get successful, define your target. Write down your goal on a piece of paper. First thing is to write down the goal you want to achieve without putting any limitations.
2nd Step: Visualize your Goal every day, whenever you get time think about your goal, think how you will achieve it, think what you will do after achieving it. Don’t put any limitation as you don’t have to pay to visualize it. The best way to visualize is to stick your goal on soft board so you can see it every day every time.
3rd Step: Take consistent actions every day to achieve your goal. Rome wasn’t built in a day; if you want to climb 1000 steps you have to start with one and you have to climb one by one. You cannot climb 1000 steps at a time.
As Robin Sharma rightly said, “Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements for beyond anything you could have ever planned for.”

“सम्मान”

/0 Comments/in /by

सुना न हो सफ़र सत्कार का, आगे और ज़माना भी है।

सम्मान देते-देते भूल न जाना, एक दिन सम्मान हमे पाना भी है।।

“सम्मान”

ये कोइ उपहार नहीं जो किसी के हाथ में दिया जाए।
ना ये उधार लिया जाए, ना भाड़े पे चलाया जाए,
ना छिना जाए, ना चुराया जाए,
जब होठों से भी ना उगला जाए, तो आंखों से जताया जाए,
ये तो बस कुछ ऐसा है कि, साँसों में समाया जाए।।

देख वीरों के शौर्य को, जब इतने से भी दिल ना भरें तो,
जज़्बातों से तने सीनों पर पराक्रम पदक लगाए जाएँ।

गिनती के ये साढ़े तीन अक्षर, हर मांगें साक्षर और निरक्षर,
सब बीमार तीन अनार, सम्मान आदर और सत्कार।।

संप को सम्मान है,
सुह्रद को सत्कार है,
एकता को आदर है,
पर इन सबसे भी पहले आत्मा को सम्मान है,
क्योंकि आत्मा की सराहना, आत्मा की सेवा, और आत्मा का सम्मान,
बस! यही आत्मीयता का दूसरा नाम है,
बस! यही आत्मीयता का दूसरा नाम है।।

– पुष्पक एम. जोशी
