[2]Teacher's Bite [Aug12_image2.jpg] Mrs. Dr. T. Sudha, Principal, Delhi Public School, Secunderabad / Nacharam "There are many updates in each facet of life and we must ensure that the teacher can never go without adequate updates in the subject which she gains only during in- service training." "Teachers many a time, stay isolated and do not discuss the problem they face in teaching. Discussing issues with other teachers who may offer workable solutions would help every person." [3]Assessments - the tablet way Where the new age students are using tablets for fun, games and music, there are some iconic schools that are gearing up to using these very tablets to assess their students. With this innovative assessment tool - Detailed Assessment (DA), over 80 schools across the country will be able to conduct year round assessment using technology interventions like computers, mobile phones and tablets. [4]Can We Learn Better? We have no tests to assess the depth of learning; no marks for the creative use of learning. If our teaching methods are poor then our testing methods are no better. So how can we impart good quality education? A few generations of students have passed through our school system. The problem has long been recognized but we have not been able to solve it. [5]Events [6]My experience with Duke TIP [7][Aug12_image5.jpg] My experience with Duke TIP has been incredible and I deeply miss all the friends I made there. I thoroughly enjoyed the program and wish that Duke TIP had a similar program for eighth graders too! Through the Duke TIP 2012 program, I was able to meet, for the first time, so many academically talented outstanding students. This program is excellent and I would recommend this program to my junior schoolmates. ASSET Champion Awards [Aug12_image3.jpg] The Toppers of ASSET 2011 from GEAR Innovative International School, Bangalore were awarded with Medals, certificates and prizes. Earthian - a Sustainability Program for Schools and Colleges [Aug12_image4.jpg] The program intends to act as a catalyst for fostering excellence in sustainability thinking and doing amongst young people and deeply engage with a set of schools and colleges in making sustainability a core educational concern. The schools and colleges are identified based on written submissions by teams of students, coordinated by a faculty. The institutions also receive a financial award.
