SSRVM Magazine Bangalore East E September 2021 “Jai Guru Dev” Guru's Message on Raising kids... The world is changing at a rapid pace, and while that can be exciting and inspiring, it also means that we as parents and teachers are dealing with a set of challenges. We have to set the right balance to strike with our kids in this scenario. We have the responsibility in making the young generation be thoughtful and productive. It is our duty to set the limits for our children and to make them understand their roles and responsibilities. So first we have to respond to their questions and needs rather than reacting to their deeds as it will help them have a greater control over the emotions. Kids learn far more from our presence, from our behavior, than what we tell them to do. “When every action of yours is preceded by witnessing, then every move you make in this world becomes perfect and significant. ”- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar

SSRVM Magazine Bangalore East E September 2021 Principal’s Message Does it have any benefits? If we see it with a lazy mind then we are at a haze, but if we can awaken our mind then we can understand the essence that these celebrations have an enormous potential in shaping your child to be a highly principled human being with great ethical values of benevolence and integrity. It is the desire of every parent to want their child to be a citizen with great moral values, but then when it comes to participating and utilising the opportunities to be a part of such events, are we encouraging our dear ward? Do we really encourage them to participate and attend the events hosted by the institution? It is equal responsibility of the school as well as the parents that there is active participation in commemorating these special days. Only then we can rightly say we have contributed to our nation and have done our level best in shaping the life of our child / student – 'The patriotic citizens of our country'. I congratulate and appreciate all parents who have motivated their child to be a part of the Gandhi Jayanti Celebrations hosted by the school. Mother India will definitely be overwhelmed that she is hosting such precious gems who are serving her with pride and humility. Jai Hind!

SSRVM Magazine Bangalore East E September 2021 Editorial part Dedicated to all the Teachers…… The year 2020 and 2021 has brought many challenges in everybody's life. Various business have been shut without bail to cope with the new challenges. There are professionals like doctors, nurses, police, government officials, and teachers who have helped us to face the challenges of the outside world successfully. They have burnt the midnight oil so that we can stay at home safely. We have thanked our frontline workers who are protecting us by risking their lives daily, but have we acknowledged the challenging work of our teachers? Yes... it's time for us to thank our teachers as they are putting superfluous effort so that their students are not deprived of proper learning while they are away from school. It has not been easy for the teachers to cope up with the online classes. For many educators, the transition from teaching in a physical classroom to a fully virtual environment is a new experience and possess several challenges. Adjusting to the changes has not just been difficult for the students but equally for the teachers. Getting well-versed with the whole concept of online education was laborious for the teachers. Teaching in a conventional working environment is certainly quite different from online teaching. The teachers are thinking out of the box so that they can keep their students engaged throughout the class. Despite the absence of physical presence, teachers are creating opportunities to encourage student collaboration and discourse. Discussion boards, which provide a great venue for idea sharing, are commonly utilized while designing assignments using shareable online documents allow students to collaborate in small groups. Students, as well as the teachers, were not prepared for this sudden shift to online education. Both are trying their best to come in terms with reality and adapt to the changes. Contd... 3

SSRVM Magazine Bangalore East E September 2021 Dedicated to teachers In their working lives, teachers often face challenging and uncertain situations that require careful navigation and adaptability. These may include adjusting the pace of lessons to engage students in a better way, minimizing frustration when results are not according to plan, and even during interactions with colleagues and parents. Parents play a crucial role on a students' remote learning success. Teachers are establishing open lines of communication with parents to help keep their children on track. Now more than ever, we find ourselves in a situation where teachers and parents need to work closely together as an educational team. Therefore, it is so important that teachers and parents continue to effectively engage with each other about student learning. Maintaining effective communication with parents and careers to create a suitable home learning environment, and to create a supportive online community of learners, will be a key focus for teachers in setting up successful online and distance learning.
