Teaching active learning through practical applications and critical thinking


 

Emphasis on dynamic and experiential teaching methods that prioritize critical thinking, practical application, and student engagement. My approach aligns well with modern educational practices that aim to foster holistic learning and independent thinking. Here's a breakdown of the elements highlighted:

 


Teaching from Experiences and the Mind: Sharing personal experiences and insights can make lessons more relatable and engaging. This approach can help students see the practical side of the concepts they're learning.

 


Avoiding Sole Reliance on Books: While textbooks offer foundational knowledge, my approach focuses on providing a broader perspective that goes beyond traditional academic resources.

 


Preparation for Diverse Questions: Being well-prepared to answer a variety of questions shows my dedication to facilitating meaningful discussions and ensuring that students' inquiries are addressed.

 


Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT): Integrating technology in teaching can enhance the learning experience, making it more interactive and relevant to modern trends.

 


Encouraging Independent Learning: Guiding students to find answers on their own promotes critical thinking and self-reliance, important skills for lifelong learning.

 


Online Discussions: Engaging students in online discussions about case studies promotes collaborative learning and provides a platform for exchanging ideas and viewpoints.

 


Assignments and Seminars: Assignments and seminars allow students to delve deeper into subjects, present their findings, and develop presentation and research skills.

 


Research-Oriented Studies: Incorporating research-oriented studies encourages students to explore topics in depth, fostering a culture of curiosity and discovery.

 


My teaching approach is student-centered and focused on active learning. It aims to prepare students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical skills and the ability to think critically and independently. Remember that each student has their own learning style, so adapting my methods to accommodate different preferences can lead to a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

 




A letter to students: Dr.Susheel George Joseph


 

Dear Students,

 

As you navigate your educational journey and prepare for the future, I want to offer you some valuable advice to help you make the most of your experiences and achieve your goals:

 


Embrace lifelong learning: education doesn't end with graduation. Cultivate a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. Stay curious, explore new subjects, and continue to grow intellectually.

 


Set clear goals: Define both short-term and long-term goals for your education and personal development. Having clear objectives will guide your efforts and keep you motivated.

 


Manage your time: Time is a precious resource. Develop effective time management skills to balance your studies, extracurricular activities, and personal life. Prioritize tasks and create a schedule that works for you.

 


Seek understanding, not just grades: Strive for a deep understanding of the subjects you're studying rather than just chasing grades. Knowledge gained through comprehension lasts longer and will serve you well in the future.

 


Embrace challenges: Challenges are opportunities in disguise. Don't shy away from difficult subjects or situations; they're chances to learn and grow. Embrace a growth mindset that sees setbacks as stepping stones.

 


Build meaningful relationships: Connect with your peers, teachers, mentors, and professionals in your field. Networking can open doors, provide guidance, and offer different perspectives.

 


Practice self-care: Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Prioritize sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and activities that bring you joy. A healthy mind and body contribute to better learning.

 


Be resilient: Life is full of ups and downs. Develop resilience to bounce back from failures and setbacks. Remember that setbacks are temporary and can lead to greater success.

 


Embrace diversity: Open yourself to different cultures, viewpoints, and backgrounds. Embracing diversity enriches your understanding of the world and prepares you for a global society.

 


Give back: Contribute to your community and society. Volunteering and helping others not only make a positive impact but also teach valuable life lessons.

 


Use technology wisely: Technology is a powerful tool. Use it to enhance your learning, stay organized, and connect with others. However, also recognize the importance of unplugging and engaging in face-to-face interactions.

 


Follow your passions: Pursue subjects and activities that genuinely interest you. When you're passionate about what you're learning, it's easier to stay motivated and excel.

 


Practice gratitude: Take a moment each day to reflect on what you're grateful for. This practice can foster a positive mindset and help you appreciate the journey you're on.

 


Remember that your education is not just about acquiring knowledge—it's about personal growth, character development, and preparing for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Embrace these principles, adapt them to your unique circumstances, and forge a path that reflects your aspirations and values.

 

I wish you all the best on your journey of discovery and growth!

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Susheel George Joseph

Determination for education is above all challenges

 


One of the most cherished memories from my extensive twenty-year career is rooted in a moment that exemplifies my unyielding commitment to education and discipline. During my early days, a situation emerged that would test not only my resolve but also underscore the values I hold dear.

 

It was a day when political unrest swept through our state, leading to a declared harthal. Amid this tumultuous backdrop, a crucial nationwide examination was scheduled, and it was my responsibility to oversee its conduct. The circumstances were challenging, but my determination burned even brighter.

 

In the face of this unexpected convergence of events, I made a resolute decision. The night before the examination, I chose to stay at a hotel close to the venue, determined to ensure that the examination would proceed as planned. My resolve was unshakeable, and I understood that upholding the commitment to education demanded flexibility and dedication beyond the ordinary.

 

With unwavering discipline, I navigated through the harthal-stricken day, ensuring that the examination went off seamlessly despite the odds. Students' futures were at stake, and I recognized that my role extended beyond mere instruction; it encompassed mentorship, guidance, and creating an environment that valued order and commitment.

 

This memory stands as a testament to my dedication over the years. It encapsulates the essence of my approach: strict, yes, but ultimately driven by a deep-seated belief in the power of education and the significance of fostering a disciplined environment. The memory of that day's commitment and sacrifice serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that educators can have and the lengths to which we are willing to go to ensure that learning remains unwavering, even in the face of challenges.
