From the Principal’s Desk “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Waymade College of Education is a Teacher Education Institution providing a world class education, celebrating the fact that each student-teacher is different, as a person and as a learner. We believe that powerful learning and teaching occurs under a shared spirit of respect which creates a passionate learning experience recognized for its warmth, energy and excellence. Here people are valued and can fulfil their potential both as teachers and learners. We offer both graduate and postgraduate Teacher Education Programme which is a balanced course nurturing student – teacher to develop as a whole individual. Valued by universities around the world, the programme offers an education designed to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of each student-teacher. We foster a positive spirit and believe in partnership between students, parents, teachers and support staff striving to create a milieu that sustains excellence. Our distinction lies in the pursuit of high academic attainment through support, encouragement, praise and motivation. "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think"-Socrates Open mindedness, a multicultural orientation, independence, a global outlook, multiple intelligences and abilities – these are the premium qualities needed today. As a 21st century organization, the institute desires to set an approach to learning that incorporates inquiry, research, analytical thinking and an ethical approach that becomes a lifetime habit. The student-teachers are helped to focus on confidence building, while nurturing a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility through academic and cocurricular activities as we believe, like Paul “Bear” Bryant that, “It is not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference”. I strongly believe that education is a collaborative effort that involves professionals’ administrators, committed teachers and motivated students. We dedicate ourselves as professional administrators in creating a dynamic education programme empowering the students in a global perspective. We are of diverse experiences and outlooks, committed to excellence in preparing student-teachers for enriched opportunities worldwide. In short, learning at WMCE is a wholesome package of attitude, challenge and opportunity. Dr. Dipali Gandhi I/c. Principal Waymade College of Education Vallabh Vidyanagar

THE COLLEGE LOGO In the Indian ethos, 'journey' and 'path' symbolise perseverance and progress. The curved path in the upward direction represents the pilgrimage of a student, a seeker of knowledge. The bright sun symbolises both the penance requisite of a swadhyayi, a student, as well as the brilliance, that is, the outcome of the penance. The soothing green backdrop represents the supportive climate needed for an individual's growth. This is an invitation, rather a challenge; to undertake this arduous journey as teachers, as moulders of the society. It is arduous because the onus entailing the honour bestowed upon teachers is awesome. Teachers as architects of the society ought to equip themselves with the requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes. We have before us a difficult path to traverse. Nevertheless, everything worth doing is difficult. With this mindset, we have set out on the journey as humble seekers, as well as facilitators, creating a knowledge society. May our conscience and community be the torchbearers/guiding light!
THE COLLEGE PLEDGE I solemnly take the pledge that I shall forever yearn for knowledge, persevering to preserve our glorious heritage, simultaneously, carving out new paths to make India a developed nation. Being aware of my infinite influence on the society, I shall forever be watchful about my character and conduct and truly be a catalyst towards societal upliftment. I shall ever be sensitive to every learner’s needs, and attend to them with utmost commitment and compassion. I shall always be fair, honest and courteous in my dealings with pupils and people around me. In their well-being and development lie my pride and prosperity. 2nd March 2005 Waymade College of Education Vallabh Vidyanagar

PLATINUM JUBILEE OF CVM
Charutar Vidya Mandal is a philanthropic trust committed to the welfare of public. It was established in 1945 at the inspiration of Sardar Patel, Iron Man of India. Sardar Patel told Bhaikaka. “ Bhailal, we have worked enough for the cities, now we should focus on the higher education of the villagers and their economic upliftment.” Shri BhaiKaka accepted the challenge wherein he was supported by an educationist Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai. With their intense efforts this trust was established for the welfare of rural masses. This trust established many Schools and Higher Education Institutions to provide knowledge in diverse fields e.g. Pharmacy, Engineering, Law, Humanities, Commerce, Education. Since then, lakhs of people studied in the institutions of CVM and served the country and abroad. One such noble soul Mr. Anilkumar Manibhai Naik, Group Chairman, Larsen & Toubro Ltd. an alumnus of BVM was conferred Padma Vibhushan for his philanthropic work by Indian Govt. He was felicitated at this occasion by CVM. Dignitaries like Honourable Vice-President Mr. Venkaiah Naidu, chief minister of Gujarat Mr. Vijay Rupani blessed CVM on this occasion on 14/12/2019.
DECLARATION OF CVM UNIVERSITY Platinum Jubilee Programme of CVM was also the occasion when Honourable Vice-President Mr. Venkaiah Naidu made declarations of CVM University. He hoped that this university would produce people having values and love for motherland.

FROM THE PEN OF FACULTY MEMBERS (Articles) LEADING CHANGE FROM THE CLASSROOM: TEACHERS AS LEADERS As the movement to restructure schools continues, teachers are increasingly being called upon to provide leadership in schools. The notion of teacher leadership is not new, but recently it has been transformed. In the past, teacher leadership roles have been limited in scope and established at the prerogative of school administrators. Teachers have long served as team leaders, department chairs, association leaders and curriculum developers. In these roles teachers have often served as "representatives" rather than "leaders" who enact change. In addition, leadership roles for teachers have traditionally lacked flexibility and required a lengthy, ongoing commitment of time and energy. Often the decision to take on leadership tasks has been accompanied by a decision to get out of teaching and into administration. Recently, reports on the status of teacher education have issued strong and compelling pleas for dramatically different roles for teachers and increased professional development. While recognizing the centrality of teaching, the reports emphasize the need for teachers to extend their sphere of influence beyond the classroom and into school wide leadership activities. Teacher Leadership Roles Teachers typically define career satisfaction in terms of their ability to be of service to others and make a difference in the lives of their students. Similarly, the leadership considerations of teachers are grounded in their desire to improve the quality of teaching and learning for all students. Studies have shown that teachers do not subscribe to traditional definitions of leadership as "higher" or "superior" positions within the organizational hierarchy. Instead, teachers view leadership as a collaborative effort, a "banding together" with other teachers to promote professional development and growth and the improvement of educational services. Today, leadership roles have begun to emerge and promise real opportunities for teachers to impact educational change-without necessarily leaving the classroom. Teachers are now serving as research colleagues, working as advisor-mentors to new teachers, and facilitating professional development activities as master teachers. Teachers also act as members of school-based leadership teams, instructional support teams and leaders of change efforts. In addition, teachers are forging a number of new and unique leadership roles through their own initiative by developing and implementing programs they personally believe will result in positive change. Work Lives of Teacher Leaders In spite of the fact that roles continue to expand, little is known about the teachers who take on leadership roles and their experiences. Researchers are only beginning to understand the complexities involved in creating and implementing leadership positions for teachers. Several recent studies have attempted to document the lives of teachers as they confront the challenges of leadership. These have shown that while lead teachers typically find their new roles and responsibilities enormously rewarding, they also encounter a variety of constraints and tensions.
1
Doing of Teacher Leaders In one of the most extensive studies on the work of teacher leaders, Lieberman, Saxl, and Miles (1988) focused on what teachers actually did when they assumed leadership positions designed to provide assistance to other teachers. The authors found that the work of lead teachers was varied and largely specific to the individual context of the school. In order to be effective with their colleagues, lead teachers found it necessary to learn a variety of leadership skills while on the job. Those skills included: Building trust and developing rapport Diagnosing organizational conditions Dealing with processes Managing the work Building skills and confidence in others The authors concluded that restructuring school communities to incorporate leadership positions for teachers will require teacher leaders to take certain actions. These include: placing a nonjudgmental value on providing assistance, modeling collegiality as a mode of work, enhancing teachers' self-esteem, using different approaches to assistance, making provisions for continuous learning and support for teachers at the school site and encouraging others to provide leadership to their peers. Personal Gains Studies have shown that leadership positions can yield significant personal benefits to those involved. Intellectual and professional growth and decreased isolation are personal gains teachers reported in their new leadership roles. Intellectual and professional growth Teachers report that their knowledge and skills in teaching increased dramatically as a result of their involvement in leadership positions. New skills and knowledge also lead to increased confidence among lead teachers and a stronger commitment to teaching. Professional growth was more often the result of collaboration with peers than activities separated from the normal school routine. Growth occurred as lead teachers observed and assisted other teachers, worked with administrators, and were exposed to new concepts and ideas. Decreased isolation Teacher leaders report a significant decrease in isolation as a result of opportunities to work with others outside of the classroom. Studies have found, however, that in most instances isolation only decreased for those involved in leadership positions and had little bearing on the isolation felt by the larger teaching force. Other studies have shown that under certain conditions lead teachers are successful in facilitating cooperation and collegiality more broadly among faculty members, thereby decreasing the isolation many teachers experience. Confronting Obstacles While leadership roles can provide important benefits they have also proven to be highly problematic. Studies have shown that lead teachers confront a number of constraints as they learn to negotiate new roles and relationships. Role Definitions Studies suggest that problems often result when teacher leadership roles are not well defined. When responsibilities involved with leadership are not well delineated confusion results and tensions mount, not only for lead teachers but also for those who work with them (i.e., administrators, classroom teachers). At the same time, however, researchers point to the need for lead teachers to participate in the definition and creation of their new roles. Teacher leaders who are given the opportunity to create and shape their own roles · · · · ·

receive more support and experience greater success than those who are less willing and able to take initiative (Hart, 1990). Time Teacher leader’s report that time constraints significantly limit their ability to succeed in the dual roles of both teacher and leader. With additional responsibilities and little extra time, teachers are often forced to make sacrifices that compromise their ability to be effective in both roles. School culture A lack of support and encouragement from school administrators and teaching colleagues often poses the biggest obstacles for teacher leaders. Lead teachers found that school norms of privacy and isolation made it difficult to foster collegiality and promote the sharing of ideas. Teacher leaders were repeatedly confronted by the "egalitarian nature of teaching" and had to work hard to gain acceptance and respect. The selection of lead teachers by the administration, which violated the "equal status" of teachers, often exacerbated the problems and bred resentment and hostility toward teachers in leadership positions. Lead teachers often blamed the administration for failing to support leadership roles and engendering a hostile environment. Conclusion: Advocacy for teacher professionalism and expanded leadership roles is based on the understanding that teachers, because they have daily contacts with learners, are in the best position to make critical decisions about curriculum and instruction. Moreover, they are better able to implement changes in a comprehensive and continuous manner. The movement to expand teacher roles is also motivated by an ongoing need to attract and retain qualified teachers. Dr. Dipali Gandhi I/c. Principal

TEACHERS AS NATION BUILDERS New Education Policy 2019 envisages that it should be ensured that all students are taught by passionate, motivated, highly qualified’ professionally trained and well equipped teachers. Teachers shape the future of students so also of nation. Teachers should impart knowledge, empathy, creativity, ethics, life skills and a sense of social responsibility. Teachers are at the heart of the education process. They are an indispensable vehicle towards a progressive, educated and prosperous society. In olden time, teaching was the most prestigious, honoured and respected profession. Even kings used to salute the gurus. Teachers pass their knowledge and skills to students that lead to the progress of nation. Gurus like Rishi Vashishtha, Dronacharya, Sandipani Rishi, Chankya, Samarth Guru Ramdas , Ramkrishna Paramhans provided very able and glorious disciples like Lord Ram, Arjuna, Lord Krishna,Chandragupta, Shivaji and Swami Vivekananda. It is hard to imagine these pupils without their glorious, selfless gurus.Swami Vivekananda rightly said of his guru Shri Ram Krishna Paramhans that there can be thousands of Narendra (Swami Vivekananda) but there can be only one Ramkrishna. In modern time status of teachers is dropped as teachers are seen only instrument of getting degrees, which will help the pupils, earn livelihood. Thus, their value has become materialistic in this materialistic age. Now we don’t see pupils who considered it their life’s privilege to drive the chariot of Maha Mana Madan Mohan Malviya ji and Dr. Sarvapalli Radha Krishnan on their shoulders as they believed their teachers provided them divine grace elevating them from their low instincts and they can pay a tiny tribute to their teachers by doing that. In fact, a famous poet of that time Dr. Harivans Rai Bachchan wrote in his autobiography that he was also one of the students who drew chariot of Malviya ji. He wrote, “I feel privileged that I got this valuable opportunity and will draw satisfaction in whole life from this noble gesture of respecting a great benevolent and noble soul which influenced millions by their high ideology.” Such is the influence of great souls that it passes through generations. That is why it is said that a teacher affects eternity. One never knows where his influence ends. Therefore, a teacher with his selfless love, dedication changes the lives of students. There have been teachers like first scientist from India to win Nobel Prize Shri Venkatraman who denied attending the function at Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive Bharat Ratna award on the declared date as his PH. D. student’s viva was due on that day. Similarly, sister Nivedita left her important meeting with the great scientist Jagdish chandra Bose in between as she had to cook for girl students of her school. These were highly acclaimed noble teachers but there have been also many unappreciated teachers who left no stone unturned to change the lives of their students. Our late president Dr. A. P.J. Abdul Kalam fondly remembers his primary teacher who kindled in him a passion for flying by making him see dynamics of birds’ flying. That is why perhaps Kalam’s first ambition was to fly in the air by joining the job of pilot. As due to some circumstances this wish was not fulfilled he got it completed by joining Indian Space Research Organisation( ISRO). He headed many projects to prepare and launch satellites in space. Somewhere behind his illustrious success was there a humble, unsung primary teacher who inspired him beyond the classroom. It was Dr. Abdul Kalam ,who paid even his primary teachers a fitting tribute by inviting them to attend his oath ceremony as a president. He always proclaimed that a student is most influenced by his parents, environment and primary teachers. Someone rightly said that a teacher always delights when his disciple gets high position as his position is also elevated with the rising position of the disciple. Teacher of a prime- minister and 4
president, scientist, Nobel prize winner are teachers of the persons holding those posts. Therefore, I request all student teachers to have pride in their profession. Dr. Bharti Rathore Faculty Member EDUCATION IN INDIA : AN OVERVIEW Looking at the status of Indian Education, it is difficult to reflect over the quality of education in India. Whether the current education system touches the research areas such as unemployment, poverty, outcome based education and use of research and technology. Why India is still one of the developing countries and what is stopping it from being a developed one? This particular question strikes me every time when I read something about India’s education system. I see India’s education system as an obstacle towards its objectives of achieving inclusive growth. Our country India has always been famous for excellence in education since the Vedic period. In ancient times, India had the Gurukul system of education in which anyone who wished to study went to a teacher’s (Guru) house and requested to be taught. If accepted as a student, the guru allows the student to stay at his place and help in all activities at home. This not only created a strong tie between the teacher and the student but also taught the student everything about running a house. Until the 17th century, India was considered one of the richest country in the world. However, due to the arrival of the foreigners and the wrong policies of the then rulers, India lost almost all its richness wealth wise as well as knowledge-wise. Originally, Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay brought the modern school system to India, including the English language, in the 1830s. The educational program was restricted to the so-called modern subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary. The teaching was confined only to classrooms and the link with nature and the close relationship between the teacher and the student was broken. The modern education system has been supported by one formula ‘cheap, required and customary education to all’. Even people are able to decide by their conscience that what means of education are going to be best suited to them. Still, many people are ignoramus regarding words and literacy. It is required to provide education to all, as other nations are so much ahead of us because of their education. It is all in the hand of the government to decide what ought to be the exact type of system in which education for all is secured. Moreover, even the government has taken nice measures to extend the level of education Merits of Indian Education System With the advancement of education, India has seen an excellent development within the field of economy. People are less unemployed and some of them are even freelancing or rather self-employed. One of the best positive things is that child labor has gone down to an excellent extent. There are also reservation systems available for the socially underprivileged people. Presently there are chiefly two boards with the exception of the state boards providing education until higher secondary, that is, ICSE and CBSE. In addition to this, there are also Open Universities providing study at home facility. If you crosscheck the technical fields, there are several institutions providing higher education. Additionally, you will find some institution providing the facility of e-Tutorial. The major downside of the prevailing system of education is that it is not easily affordable. Nowadays in India, more than 37% of people are living below the poverty level. 5
Therefore, they cannot afford education even at the primary level. Another reason for the poor quality of education is the poor quality of teachers in government schools. The level of education that government schools are not as good as expected and they do not possess a good image among people. The ensuing possibility is the private institutions, which provides degrees from primary to postgraduate. However, they are very costly and also the admission procedure is too complicated for common person to access. Moreover, there are several political heads, which form a great gap between the Indian government and the common people. A number of them take money from the government, but do not utilize that for the benefit of the common people. In addition, one will find several socially forward individuals taking the benefits of the reservation system. The problem lies within the massive percentage of illiteracy and population. These two things need to be focused much on creating any development. Steps to improve the current system · Education loans ought to be made available easily so that even poor students can afford a high level of education. · The government ought to take steps to extend the number of primary schools so that people of each village can get education easily. · There ought to be more emphasis on adult education as it is necessary to teach the parents and guardians first in order that they become keen towards their ward’s education. · The role of the private institutions ought to be made restricted so that people do not depend too much on them. In this way, they will not be taking high fees as they do now. · The condition of the government colleges and institution ought to be raised to a reasonable level. · New syllabus ought to replace the old ones to provide the latest knowledge to students. · There ought to be strict laws relating to the cheating and coaching mafias. · In addition, the system of education ought to be free of corruption. · Everyone ought to be given an equal opportunity without discriminating on the premise of rich and poor or on the premise of gender. · Especially girl’s education ought to be given topmost priority. The conclusion that we are able to draw is that even within the modern time, India can attain its status as wealthy, prosperous land, filled with ethics and moral beauty. India is a progressing country. Present scenario of Indian education can be improved a lot. The sole step to be taken is to boost ourselves. The solution lies in the question. How to improve the system of education? And the answer is “Education”. The only way to improve education is education. Dr. Chirag Darji Faculty Member

POSITIVE THINKING: THE KEY TO SUCCESS With this key, it is easier to achieve success, improve relationships, have better health, and enjoy happiness, satisfaction and inner peace. This key also helps in the daily affairs of life, making everything flow more smoothly, and with less friction. A positive attitude makes life look brighter and promising. This key also requires that you take positive action, since results require both positive thinking and positive action. Positive thinking is contagious. People around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly. Think about happiness, good health and success and you will cause people to like you and desire to help you, because they enjoy the vibrations that a positive mind emits. In order to make positive thinking yield results, you need to develop a positive attitude toward life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but also take necessary actions to ensure your success. Effective positive thinking that brings results is much more than just repeating a few positive words, or telling yourself that everything is going to be all right. It has to be your predominant mental attitude. It is not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind. Some effort and inner work are necessary. Take action and follow the tips below. Your Key to Success Tips 1. Use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', etc. 2. Allow only feelings of happiness, strength and success into your awareness. 3. Disregard and ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, by substituting them with constructive, happy thoughts. Every time a negative thought finds its way into your mind, immediately replace it with a positive thought. 4. In your conversation, use words that bring forth feelings and mental images of strength, happiness and success. 5. Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If you visualize with concentration and conviction, you will be amazed at the results. 6. Read at least one page of inspiring book every day. 7. Watch movies that make you feel happy. 8. Minimize the time you listen to the news and read the newspapers. 9. Associate yourself with people who think positively. 10. Always sit and walk with your back straight. This will strengthen your confidence and inner strength. 11. Walk, swim or engage in some other physical activity. This helps to develop a more positive attitude.
7
Think Positive and expect only favorable results and situations, even if your current circumstances are not as you wish them to be . In time, your mental attitude will affect your external life and circumstances and change them accordingly. When you expect success and say, “I can “, you fill yourself with confidence and joy. Fill your mind and light, hope and feelings of strength and soon your life will reflect these qualities. Dr. Pratiksha Modi Faculty Member
THE POWER OF TEACHERS’ SMILE Once a teacher in England wanted to know what her students expected from her. So she asked for suggestions on ‘What can I do so that you may grow?’ they had a choice to write a few sentences, a paragraph, a poem or even draw a picture to illustrate their idea. A young boy called Bradley wrote the following lines: ‘If you look gently and smile, if you look at me and smile, I will grow, and I will grow.’ This is the power of teachers’ smile! A teacher’s smile is so important on so many levels in the quest to reach out to the students. If teachers are not able to reach out to the students, learning just won’t happen. But how can something just simple as a smile help? A teacher is able to touch the heart of the student through that magnetic touch in his/her smile. Smile creates a positive vibration and the children feel free to express themselves. When the children feel free to express themselves, they empower themselves with the capacity to learn. Day by day it is becoming difficult for the children to live up to the ‘social expectations’ and use of defence mechanisms is on the rise. In such a scenario a welcoming and nourishing and nurturing smile on the face of the teacher is the easiest thing which the teachers can do to put their students at ease. Any barriers in communication are melted down by a simple smile and once that is evident, learning can and will take place. It is said that smile is infectious. We can feel good and smile or it can be other way round also. We can smile and feel good. Research shows that even if we are not in best of our moods and we smile, we actually begin to feel better. This is not the end. When teachers’ give a shining smile it gets reflected back by the students and this then creates a bright, conducive, happy and positive climate for learning. The teachers are the role models for the students. By smiling the teachers model a positive and productive attitude that will be mimicked by others. If this is not done at different levels, within the classroom and in administration and management it establishes a restrictive environment within the class, within the campus. It nurtures a model of poor communication which discourages teaching learning and leads to demotivation in work performance also. In the absence of information, rumours thrive. Students end up 8
guessing, confused and frustrated. If there is not an avenue to communicate back to the teacher or leadership for clarification, it gets even worse and creates non-optimum situations. Most of us have heard the saying, ‘Smile and the world will smile with you’. When we smile and open up the learning and working atmosphere opens up and everybody gets jumpstart in a mood of contributing constructively which is missing in a restrictive environment. Smile in a way leads individuals to grow in a contributor personality rather having a mechanistic personality. It can do wonders anywhere anytime. Use your beautiful smile daily as Dale Carnegie has said, “The expression one wears on one’s face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one’s back.” Dr. Nandita Acharya Faculty Member
THE IMPACT OF TEACHERS ON THE LIVES OF STUDENTS In the class, I offer students-teachers about fostering student self-esteem, I pose the following questions: "Do you believe you have a long-lasting impact on the lives of your students? Five, ten, twenty years from now, will your students remember you or experiences from your class? And if so, what do you hope they will remember?" Obviously, whether teachers belief that they have an impact on the lives of their students is linked to their own self-esteem and their own sense of competence. When people believe that what they are doing is of little consequence, their motivation and energy will be minimal, and they cannot help but convey this to others. When those others are students, what will result is a school environment devoid of excitement and learning and filled with boredom and perhaps anger. Descriptions of our own teachers and of ourselves In attempting to examine teacher impact, I have asked student-teachers to think about one teacher whom they really liked when they were students. I then ask them to describe that teacher, which prompts such words as "demanding but supportive," "caring," "was interested in us," "was excited about what he taught," "had a good sense of humor." Next, I ask the audience if they ever recall being overjoyed, when they were students, upon learning that one of their teachers was on sick leave. The question typically evokes some laughter. When asked for descriptions of this teacher, I have heard "intimidating," "demeaning," "boring," "dull," "never seemed interested in us." Next, I say, "imagine for a moment that I ask all of you to leave and bring in your students and ask them to describe you, what words would you hope they use? What words do you think they would use? Just as when you were a student, you had an image of your teachers, what is the image that your students have of you? What do you want that image to be?" Indelible memories of school I have requested student-teachers to complete an anonymous questionnaire. The first question asks, "Please describe briefly one experience that you had with an educator when you were a student that reinforced your self-esteem. What grade were you in at the time?" The second question asks, "Please describe, briefly, one experience that you had with an educator, when you were a student that lessened your self-esteem. What grade were you in at the time?"

Similar to the first exercise, I have been impressed with the strong emotions that these questions trigger. Student-teachers eagerly want to talk about their own childhood memories of school sharing with me how recent the memories seem, even though for some these memories are more than 20 years old. I became convinced that these memories of teachers persist, continuing to influence our lives years later -- they are indeed indelible memories, indicative of the lifelong influence that a teacher can have. 1. Teachers have a very significant, lifelong impact on all of their students. 2. This impact involves not only the teaching of particular academic skills, but as importantly, the fostering of student self-esteem. Reinforcing self-esteem in the classroom is associated with increased motivation and learning. 3. The use of strategies to foster self-esteem can go hand-in-glove with teaching academic skills, and needs not require additional time from teachers. If anything, a focus on self-esteem can create a more exciting, satisfying teaching environment. 4. Self-esteem strategies do not require financial costs or a budget, but rather the sensitivity, respect, and caring of teachers. 5. As the memories of teachers suggest, self-esteem strategies involve helping students feel they belong and are welcome in the school setting, providing them with responsibilities through which they perceive themselves as contributing and making a difference (e.g., tutoring younger children, helping to take care of school plants), offering them opportunities to make choices and decisions and solve problems, and communicating encouragement and positive feedback. While these kinds of positive interventions are important for all students, they are particularly relevant for students who find learning problematic. 6. Many of the teachers' negative memories captured situations in which they felt that teachers demeaned, belittled, or accused them of being disruptive as they struggled to understand what was being taught. Children with learning difficulties are especially vulnerable to this kink of treatment and unfortunately, even today, continue to hear accusations that they are lazy and unmotivated or that they should pay closer attention so that they wouldn't have to ask so many questions. Teachers must constantly communicate to students that mistakes are part of the learning process and that no student should ever feel embarrassed to ask questions if they do not understand something. A concluding remark Teachers should never minimize the role they play in influencing students' lives. Hopefully, that role will be positive, possessing the qualities of a "charismatic adult" who not only touches students' minds but also their spirits -- the way they see and feel about themselves for the rest of their lives. Such influence is truly a rare privilege that should be prized and nurtured. Mr. Nandkishor Pimpalkar Faculty Member

SETTING GOALS FOR LIFE “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” -Albert Einstein Goals are oxygen of our dreams and wishes. If we want to fulfill our wishes very easily, we need to convert our wishes into a goal. A goal means outcomes of our wishes. The wishes may be in form of so many circles but goal is very clear like candle that draw our attention, which is very accurate and clear. A goal is clearly defined objective that we want to achieve in life. It is a process of moving from where we are, to where we want to be. All successful people set clearly defined goals. This gives their life power, purpose and a sense of direction. Without goals, we will not able to make any significant process in life. Most people are unhappy because they don't know where they are going in life, and so their lives lack meaning and purpose. As a result they lack an inner sense of selfworth, often becoming angry and taking it out on other people. As soon as you learn how to set goals and start working towards achieving those goals, you will begin to feel that you are in control of your life. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that would otherwise lure you from your course. Goals give you focus, allow you to measure Progress, keep you locked in and undistracted, help you to overcome procrastination and give you motivation to complete your task. Arjuna’s bird’s eye test teaches us how we should set our priorities right and chase our goals. Andrew Carnegie had said that “If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.” When we do not know where we want to go, then we will go anywhere, people will push us and make us go to wrong direction than also we will not aware of it , If our goal is clear then we have knowledge of where and why we want to go, How the goal should be? It should be very clear, measurable, relevant, time bounded and one, which can be achieved. This type of goal we need to follow and definitely, we have to achieve it. Setting goals is the most important thing we can do in your life. Without goals we are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for us. Without these three things, achieving our goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come. When setting direction to success we must make good choices on the path we are going to choose. The wrong path will put us somewhere that is going to take us off track from our goals. Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideas future, and for motivating yourself to turn this vision of future into reality. More than this, properly set goals can motivate you immensely and built your self-confidence. It does take a lot of efforts, but if you can train yourself to concentrate on your goals consistently, you will create new thought patterns and new habits of behavior. Be up and doing. Set your goals and know where and how you are going. Remember, success is not an accident. It is 25% inspiration and 75% perspiration. Therefore, it is extremely important for you to set, up a precise goal in life and make efforts to reach it. When I do not know where I want to go, then I will go anywhere, people will push me and make me go to wrong direction than also I will not aware of it , If my goal will clear than I know where and why I want to go, How the goal should be? Very clear, measurable, relevant, time bounded and one, which can be achieve. This type of goal I will follow and in will definitely achieve it. Ms. Sefali Patel Faculty Member

ULTIMATE POWER OF A FOCUSED MIND You’ll mostly hear people say that they are not motivated and need to have enough passion to achieve goals. They feel only successful people have this kind of willpower and unstoppable passion. However, you know, even victorious people get bored like you and me! They also sometimes lack motivation and need daily inspiration. They have also learnt how to rise up every time they fall! If you consider some vital points to remain focused in your work then attaining goals will not be a problem for you. Such vital points may include Setting Priorities, which will help oneself to focus only on more important work & thereby to finish the same within the stipulated time frame. Self-ActualizationThis helps an individual to realize his/her potentialities, caliber and thereby to recognize what he can actually do with his/her life. Fighting Distractions- You need to plan your task strategically. To stay on focus, decide on the best time to do your work. Chalk out the distractions that would arise and how you would react, and then deal with them. Not to Fear Failure-Sometimes you cannot achieve your goals despite being focused. Remember, focus does not guaranty success but only improves and increase your chances to become successful in your workings. Also know that it is alright to accept this fact – ‘Face Your Failure and Learn from It’. Remembering that achieving some goal is just a Process and not an End in Itself-We should not worry about the end result, but should fall in love with the journey, the boredom, the repeated process, the practice, the procedure of every bit of our work and should enjoy that each moment. Staying Motivated with a Purpose to Complete the Task- When you have a purpose to end your task, your work will motivate you and thus help you concentrate. Formulating Goals- Don’t overburden yourself by focusing on more than a few goals at a time as it will demotivate you and reduce your chance of achieving your goals. Divide your time and keep accomplishing them one by one. Managing your Time- Don’t become overwhelmed with time consuming tasks. Instead, break them into small bits and complete each one, one at a time. Have a Strong Vision- When you want to remain focused you need to have a strong visual image of what you want to achieve – your goal, so that you can reach there by focusing on the end result. Take break after a while- As you work, your alertness reduces and you tend to get easily distracted. Set a timer and take frequent breaks. So, are you ready to start? I hope now you will not lose your focus, nor procrastinate or get caught up by distractions. Instead, remain focused and achieve goals one after the other. All The Best!!!! Ms. Janki Shukla Faulty Member
Education is not learning of the facts, but the training of the mind to think. Albert Einstein

PEER VALUE CHARTS (B.Ed. Advanced FY 2019-20) Peer Group-1 and 2 In our peer value chart, CVM is depicted as moon shining bright light, WMCE is the stem of a tree and branches of the tree are different peer groups and the king ant is the peer leader Dr. Bharti Rathore and other ants are the students of the group. Opening of the flower indicates ‘candor’ and the climbing of the tree by ants indicates the ‘perseverance’ which are the two values of our group. Butterflies are the teachers and stars indicate Dr. Dipali ma’am and G.S. and D.G.S. Roots indicates the helping hand of the college.
Peer Group- 3 and 4 Our peer value chart is based on recent experiment carried out by ISRO. Our group values are ‘regularity’ and ‘peace’ under the able mentorship of Dr. Chirag Darji. Whatever work we start we require peace of mind along with regularity to complete our mission. CVM is a galaxy where a huge amount of peace and regularity is maintained to run the institution. Waymade college of Education is represented as a space where all the activities take place. Hence college is also considered as a second home for students. Teachers are the role model for the students. They set an example by doing. Hence the students follow their path where we learn and develop qualities like peace and regularity.
33
Peer Group- 5 and 6 Vallam Kali is a traditional boat race in Kerala, India. It is considered as the chief festival in Kerala. ‘Unity’ and ‘Equality’ are the proponents considered in this game which are also our peer group values. We have included “Mahabali”, the king of Onam festival as the principal of our college. The peer members of our class are considered as participants in the snake boat race. We have also included natural beauty of Kerala like trees, soil, stones, clouds etc. The teaching and non-teaching staff have been portrayed in form of captains, birds and fishes. Dr. Pratiksha Modi is our mentor. To bring naturality, we have also included elephants, traditional dancers, bridge and river as Waymade College.
Peer Group- 7 and 8 “Different sports in one field with variations in different role and responsibility but having some hope to win.” Theme of our peer chart is based on sports. Our values are ‘hopefulness’ and ‘gratitude’ and sports depicts both the values very well. Whenever a person participates in any sport, he or she participates with hope of doing well or winning. At the same time despite of winning or losing, both the team and player show gratitude towards each other without having any bitter feelings. So we have selected five different types of sports representing five different groups. On the chart is a torch which is shown as CVM. It is the main
34
source of light for our Waymade family. Next, it is Waymade College of Education, and it is represented as the stadium in which five different games have been presented. The president of this stadium is Dr. Dipali Gandhi, she is the torch bearer, who takes the light from CVM and lighten up our stadium. Our mentor is Dr. Nandita Acharya.
Peer Group- 9 and 10 Our group values are ‘Dedication’ and ‘Creativity’. The quality of being committed or dedicated towards task is very essential for success. Creativity comes from within, it can’t be taught. Our peer chart presents Waymade College of Education as a bright shining star in the universe of Charutar Vidhya Mandal (CVM). Our mentor is Mr. Nandkishor Pimpalkar.
35
INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL (IQAC) With a view to sustaining the institute for quality teacher education, the institute established an IQAC.

To make the activities noticed centrally, the institute applied for the National Service Scheme in the year 2014. This would help the institute to explore and expand the community and activities respectively. The student’s representative for the community band were nominated to plan and execute the events effectively. A week long community outreach programme is one of the most important activities we carry out along with annual camp under NSS in the village. The students are taking initiatives for the weekly COP in which they prepare the budget, plan the activities, prepare the materials and organize the activities in a group. The students adopt the nearby community to organize the activities. The students other than NSS join this week long Community outreach programme. Apart from these the Community band carries out some regular activities too. In this semester, celebration of National Days, Human Rights day celebration, Post prayer talks on various social and historical movements, and cleanliness drive took place. The students not only developed their love and concern for the society but also developed their knowledge of grass root reality. Dr. Chirag Darji Coordinator PEER TEACHING This is a well-established fact that students are more comfortable with their peers. As both have almost same mental, physical and understanding level, peers understand the difficulty level of their friends better. Having more empathy and sympathy, they communicate better with their friends. At this college, mostly we have peer teaching in remedial teaching. We conducted peer teaching and Each one Teach one activities under that. In each one teach one peer tried to solve the academic problems of other one whereas on 5th September, on the birth anniversary of Dr. Radhakrishnan , the college decided to celebrate it to pay tribute to the great educationist and philosopher. One activity was that students would act as teachers and teach the peers. It helped them to revise what had been already taught.
46
The coordinators of PE 1, PE 2, PE 3 allotted the topics to be taught by the students on 5th September. They also selected the suitable peer for teaching in respective paper. Coordinators filled up the form and attached the report of that.Faculty members also found out difficult topics for students and arranged peer teaching for those topics. This activity indeed helped both the teacher and taught to develop. Dr. Bharti Rathore Coordinator SANSKRIT SAMBHASHAN The college aims that students remain aware of rich culture and heritage of India. That is why this college gives importance to learning Sanskrit. As mother of all Indian languages, Sanskrit has very vast literature. To keep students rooted in Indian culture and ethos, students are encouraged to recite Sanskrit shloka and explain in morning assembly daily. To persuade students to read and write Sanskrit, this college encourages students to appear in the exam of Sanskrit conducted by Sanskrit Bharti. Some classes are conducted to orient about the language and exam. Students are quite positive about learning Sanskrit. This year 22 students appeared in Praveshika and 4 students appeared in Pradipika exam which were conducted on Dec. 14, 2019.This was coordinated by Dr. Bharti Rathore. Dr. Bharti Rathore Coordinator PRACTICE TEACHING In the beginning of the Practice teaching programme student-teachers are oriented about it in detail. Even demonstration of lessons were done by the teacher educators on teaching skills, execution of lessons using different stages etc. At each phase teacher educators supervise student-teachers' lessons. The student-teachers are placed for the practice teaching phase at the GSEB (English Medium Schools), CBSE, ICSE Schools only. In the first semester, Waymade Practice teaching begins with Stage Simulated Teaching Practice. This phase mainly focuses on four stages viz. Introduction, Explanation, Activity and Evaluation. Student-teachers select one topic and prepare lessons of 4 stages in each method and deliver it before their peers. Second phase is the Block Teaching Programme. During this phase student teachers are placed at the different schools nearby the college in Anand district. Each student-teacher delivers lessons in each method at the school and observes peers' lessons. In the second semester, third phase of practice teaching is Off campus Programme. In this phase students are placed in the schools. They deliver lessons in each method at the school. They also participate in the assembly and organize co-curricular activities at the school. They also prepare and execute digital and Task Based lessons in front of their peers at the college. In the third semester, Internship is the main and important phase of the practice teaching. During this phase, student teachers are placed at different schools across and outside Gujarat in GSEB, CBSE, ICSE schools for the entire semester. Student-teachers deliver actual teaching sessions in each method at the school. They also submit 10 lessons 5 in each method. Besides, their actual teaching, they also work on the assignments such as Classroom Teaching & Evaluation of School students' work, Student Portfolio, Preparation and Analysis of Results, Action Research, School-Society Project Work 47
,Planning & Execution of CCE Activities, Reflections on virtual/online Classroom Teaching, Extension and In service and external examiners. Teacher educators visit the schools and collect the student-teachers’ performance report from the school principal and teachers. During this phase, one teacher educator is the mentor of 8 to 10 studentteachers. The detailed discussion, suggestions, comments and guidance provided is to each student teacher and is recorded by the mentor. In the fourth Semester student-teachers are oriented about innovative lesson plans of practice teaching such as constructivist approach, workshop based lesson plan, Smart Board lesson plan and team teaching. Each student teacher prepares lesson plans using these pedagogies and executes before their peers under the supervision of teacher educator. At the end of the semester student teachers are evaluated through annual lessons. Each student teacher has to deliver two lessons, one lesson each in respective method. Both internal and external examiners supervise and evaluate their lessons. Dr. Pratiksha Modi Coordinator LIBRARY AS A LEARNING RESOURCE Information and Communication Technology has revolutionized the concept of libraries. Library comprises digital collections, services, research, preservation and conservation of recorded knowledge. It is also a process of democratization of information. The library at the college is continuously enriched with reference books, journals, magazines, dissertations, downloaded materials, N-list (Inflibnet) archive of digital materials etc.. The Online database is created using SOUL software to maintain the record of all these resources, Student Teachers visits to the library and the books issued. The college library has google site http://sites.goggle.com/site/waymadeelibrary. The reading material , syllabus and online student membership form, Waymade news etc.are uploaded for the user point of view. There is an in-house library website with over 750 books downloaded from the internet. There is also an institutional Repository run by Dspace Open Source Software having more than 57 dissertations available within campus. Library Tutorials are organized whereby STs develop the habit of visiting the library, using it effectively for curricular as well as co-curricular activities. Moreover, assignments are given such as book reviews with the aim of inculcating the habit of reading and writing. Teacher Educators also review books for motivating students and present the reviews in the assembly. Students are given common topics to read and discuss in tutorial sessions to help the students to get in-depth knowledge of various subjects, research work , preparing notes, assembly post prayer talks, assignments, lesson plans etc.. Dr. Pratiksha Modi Library In-Charge HOME ROOM The Homeroom is the smallest administrative unit of the school. Its members are more or less naturally grouped and its opportunities for presentation, discussion, and acceptance or rejection, are real and vital. Its setting and situations for the habits required in a democracy are natural. The homeroom is the natural logical place for guidance and for the development of a plan of orientation and pupil progress. The first homeroom was organized between 1875 and 1879. Being a teacher education institution, it is necessary to create a conducive climate by organizing various school activities at the college such as 48
student council, assembly activities, celebrations of various festivals and many other literary and academic activities. With a view to developing knowledge, skills, values and professional attitude among the student teachers, the college started a new practice i.e. Homeroom. We all know that the personal problems or doubts become the hindrance for professional development. Therefore, it is necessary to understand behaviour of the individual and solve his/her problems through discussion with the mentor/s. The student teachers are oriented about the objectives, functions and role of the mentors under this practice. A session on homeroom is scheduled in the timetable and the mentees are kept free to decide their mentors on their own. In a specific timing allotted in the time table, the mentor interacts with the mentee/s individually and in a group. The interesting thing of the activity is that the student teachers share many such crucial and interesting problems, doubts and suggestions during the sessions that help the institution for its self evaluation. All the mentors keep a record of their mentoring in a sheet of paper and then share with the in-charge and principal for the follow up activities.

STUDENTS’CORNER I CAN ‘I CAN’ is a short sentence but powerful, positive and energizing sentence. We all know it, still we repeat ‘I CAN’T’ or ‘I CANNOT’. You say you cannot do it. But somewhere else some other person, your age, your circumstances, your ability has achieved it. It is your will power, attitude, passion and hard work that determine who you will be in future. Here I would like to share a story, which may help you to believe in yourself and say ‘I CAN’. Once a girl was preparing for the entrance exam. She did get any help from others and she didn’t believe in herself too and she gave up. Everyone teased her saying, ‘It was beyond your capacity’ and ‘I knew you won’t get through’. Then in the same year she decided to acquire a degree in a subject that was completely unknown to her. Everyone around her said, “Can you do?”, “Is it possible for you?” She still didn’t give up and from within she felt “I CAN”. She kept believing and doing with all the ability that she had. One day she came across a book called “The Power of Positive Thinking”. She read that book and the author of the book suggested the readers to repeat a phrase “I can do all things through God who strengthens me” to remain positive. She started repeating day in and day out. It worked wonders in her life. Then she realised that she has all the power within her and she can do anything and everything as Swami Vivekananda said, “All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that”. She believed, filled her mind with positive stroke that led her to use her will-power, attitude, passion and hard work in all that she did. So dear friends, There are times when people disappoint you and let you down, but those are the times when you must remind yourself that YOU CAN and keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. With a new day comes new strength and new thoughts. The past can’t be changed. The future is yet in your power. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. So, start believing in your ability and focus on the beauty in your life. Carol Burnett, American writer and actress once said, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me”. So, your life is in your hand, therefore you have to make up your mind to stay positive. See and find the benefits of your task you are going to start instead of looking the negative points. Fear of failure might be the main cause behind this ‘I CANNOT’ but if you fall into the habit of positive thinking then surely you can easily overcome the negative thought of ‘I CANNOT’. Gradually you will hear a voice from within saying, I CAN, I CAN and I CAN!!! Sr. Geneviev Dimekar B.Ed.(Advanced)Sem-2

BREAK YOUR MENTAL CHAINS
Have you ever observed how elephants in circus are held in place by a little chain around one leg attached to a stake in the ground? Why doesn’t this giant animal simply tear the stake out of the ground or break the chain? The reason is that when elephants are small, they are chained, and no amount of pulling or tugging or trumpeting will set them free. As they grow older, they learn that no matter how hard they try, it’s impossible to break away from the chains. Although the full-grown elephants could easily break free, they don’t because their mind has been conditioned to think that when they are chained, they can’t get away. From our birth, all of us are conditioned and programmed by others to think and behave in certain ways. While some of this conditioning is designed to keep us secure, much of it stunts our personal growth. Our mental chains bind our thoughts and cripple our actions, depriving us happiness and success. Knowing your mind and what it is capable of achieving is ultimately your greatest weapon to break away your mental chains. Take time to visualize the kind of life you want to have, and instead of regretting on what has happened in your life, look at the possibilities ahead of you. Thinking positively and acting differently from how you used to do will help you take full charge of your life. Don’t let any mental chain hold you back! Sr. Sheela Davla B.Ed.

LIFE AT WAYMADE A college is a lighthouse which emits radiation of wisdom and knowledge. And Waymade is a college which shows the way towards success. One of the interesting stages of our life is to explore the days of college life. It's the span of time having memorable days of our life. And here's my happy moments at Waymade, a place where I learnt the meaning of love, friendship and togetherness. On the first day I had a fear of making friends as all were new to me. But as the days passed on I had made a group of friends. It was because of getting to know each other activities planned out at the college and also because of my behaviour to talk with everyone without any hesitation which led to friendship with everyone in the class. I used to think that whether I will be able to attend the classes regularly or not in this new course but as the days passed on the bonding with teachers and friends led me to attend all classes regularly without fail. Life at Waymade is so cool and creative. We used to have co-curricular activities which led me to more craziness as my group were the winners in mime competition. The morning prayers were so healthy and fresh that no one would like to miss it and without it the day would be dull for sure. Waymade taught me the importance of values which truly every person needs in his/her life. All bless to the loving teachers who strengthen us day by day. The entire pedagogy of teaching is different at Waymade which includes creativity and various innovations in the fields of teaching. This was something new to me. Though we were busy with assignments and other works but this were the scenarios which made us to understand the meaning of time management in our life. At last I would say, 'Opportunities don't happen but we create them' and for sure opportunities are created for students at Waymade in a very meaningful way for their growth and development.

INDIAN HIGHER EDUCATION India’s higher education system is the third largest in the world next to the USA and China. The emphasis on higher education in India can be understood by the number of universities currently present in India and the quality of education they provide. As of February 2017, there are 789 universities, 37,204 colleges and 11,443 stand-alone institutions in India, as per the latest statistics from the UGC website. The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) is responsible for supervising the functioning of all the universities in India through its chief regulatory bodyUniversities Grants Commission (UGC). The other government organizations whose contribution for the upliftment of Indian educational scenario is worth mentioning are All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC.) Distance learning and open education is also a feature of the Indian higher education system, and is looked after by the Distance Education Council. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is the largest university in the world by number of students, having approximately 3.5 million students across the globe.

Some institutions of India, such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISERs), University of Delhi (DU), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), University of Calcutta, University of Madras ,University of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru University, have been globally acclaimed for their standard of education. The IITs enrol about 8000 students annually and the alumni have contributed to both the growth of the private sector and the public sectors of India. However, Indian universities still lag behind universities such as Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford. The latest India Skills Report (2019) suggests only 48% of graduates are employable. It means 53% are not possessing the required employability skills. One of the reasons is lack of faculty members at the colleges and Universities. On an average, 50 percent of faculty positions are lying vacant in government institutions. Indian R&D expenditure at 0.62% GDP is one of the lowest in emerging economics. Indian universities rank low in both research and training and do not find listing in TOP 150 in the world. Indian higher education is in need of radical reforms. A focus on enforcing higher standards of transparency, strengthening of the vocational and doctoral education pipeline, and professionalization of the sector through stronger institutional responsibility would help in reprioritizing efforts and working around the complexities.

A paramedical student was gangraped and was brutally killed in Delhi in 2012. This incident led to a wave of anger in public across the nation. People demanded strict actions against the criminals. The ministry of finance of government of India did set up Nirbhaya fund administrated by the Department of Economic Affairs (DEO), Ministry of Finance. It provides for an Empowered Committee (EC) of officers chaired by the secretary, Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD). The function of MWCD here is to ensure proper and expeditious utilization of Nirbhaya fund. Finance minister of the government P. Chidambaram announced Nirbhaya fund of Rs.1000 Cr in his budget speech in 2012. As per the framework, the monitoring and reporting mechanism are mandated at state as well as at the concerned central ministries. The problem lie in the implementation of the scheme as according to the official data, less than twenty percent of the fund has been used by states between 2015 and 2018 which is merely Rs. 165 Cr. Recently there was a heinous crime reported against a woman in Hyderabad, it gives rise to the question on proper utilization of Nirbhaya fund. In India, corruption is the significant factor responsible behind ill implementation of such funds and policies. There is no fear in the mind of criminals, which shows the weaker condition of laws in India. Whenever there is brutal attack happening on women, public anger awakes but as it is temporary it does not make effect on government. The only aspect government should work upon is to create fear in criminals by full implementation of laws regarding crimes against women. The process of courts should not be lengthy such that it takes years before justice can be given. Fast track hearing of rape cases should be done across the country and criminals should be punished immediately then only it can create an environment of fear. Human being is a social animal which even does not hesitate in breaking up the rules. Such unsocial elements must be put behind the bars so that society will not be at stake. There is not only rape but many crimes taking place against women such as domestic violence, acid attacks, harassment due to dowry and many more. The social structure is heading in a direction which may not be entirely humanistic. Changes can be brought about when parents start inculcating values such as humanity in their children, then only there will not be birth of such criminals. One should remember that criminals are born from society itself, values and ethics only can make a society free from such criminals. Yet there is a 79

LET’S LEARN HOW TO LOVE THE INSECURITY OF LIFE What do you think life is secure or insecure? Yes, life is basically insecure. The moment you choose security, unknowingly you have chosen death. Such is the law of life, something which is inevitable. The stage where things get secure you will feel boredom .That’s why marriages create so much boredom. It is the same love affair, that was such an adventure and once it becomes institutionalized as marriage, it loses all joy, dance and beauty, yes it is secure! But it is not a true life. True life is always moving from to known to unknown. And the crossing point from known to unknown is what insecurity is all about. The insecurity is there because you have not been brought up with a right approach towards life. You are simply made afraid, you are always told not to go beyond boundaries and the child is so dependent they can’t say no and they accepts the boundaries. Be more polite rather than calculative. If you love insecurity, its “insecurityness” disappears. So let’s learn to love it. If in our life, all things work out according to our expectations then, I don’t think that there exists any meaning of life! I personally believe that, live your life according to what it take us. Don’t try to make your life an expected journey always make it an unexpected one …!!!! Submitted by Ms. Rosemary Kanjirathingal B.Ed.(Advanced) Sem-4
MUSIC THERAPY Music is a form of art; an expression of emotions through harmonic frequencies. Music is also a form of entertainment that puts sounds together in a way that people like, find interesting or dance to. Most music includes people singing with their voices or playing musical instruments, such as the piano, guitar, drums or violin. The word music comes from the Greek word (mousike), which means "(art) of the Muses". Since the earliest days of humankind, music and the power of music, has been evident to us. Jillian Levy (2017) shares the six major health benefits of music therapy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Music therapy reduces anxiety and physical effects of stress It improves healing It can help manage Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease Music therapy reduces depression and other symptoms in the elderly It helps to reduce symptoms of psychological disorders including schizophrenia 80
6. Music therapy improves self-expression and communication 9 Interesting Facts and Statistics 1. 86% of users of the music therapy services said that music therapy had enabled them to develop social skills and interaction 2. Your heartbeat changes to mimic the music that you listen to 3. Distinguishing changes in sounds were found to be equipped in those as small as a developing foetus 4. Listening to happy vs. sad music can affect the way you perceive the world around you 5. An “earworm” is a song that you can’t seem to get out of your head 6. A ‘brain itch’ is a need for the brain to fill in the gaps in a song’s rhythm 7. Music triggers activity in the same part of the brain that releases dopamine (the ‘pleasure chemical’) 8. Music triggers networks of neurons into an organized movement 9. Learning a musical instrument can improve fine motor and reasoning skills These interesting facts were sourced from Ashley Blodgett (2015). Music Therapy for Children This following information about the use of music therapy with children is provided by the Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service-Music therapy can be a useful way to meet the various psychosocial needs of children, through engagement in song-writing and improvisation. It can provide children with opportunities for selfexpression and communication. Music therapy can also give children the opportunity to identify their strengths, providing a way for them to maintain a sense of self-esteem.For infants and children, a music therapist can use live, familiar music in conjunction with physical, social and cognitive activities to stimulate development. This also promotes interaction and encourages participation and motivation in young children. In order to reduce irritability, pain or anxiety, the music therapist can use soothing music. This also encourages child and family bonding.To help develop creative self-expression in infants and young children, the music therapist and child can make music together and write songs.Adolescents can play a more active role in coming up with their own music therapy program. With a therapist, adolescents can explore a range of musical activities and select what feels right to them.Possible activities for adolescents are song-writing, improvisation and/or singing the songs by their favourite artists or bands. Adolescents may like to use technology to produce personalized audio/visual projects. The use of live music in addition to relaxation techniques can be an effective way to help reduce pain and anxiety in adolescents.Clinical music therapy may benefit children who are chronically ill (or are long-term hospital patients) or have a developmental delay. It can help children who have autism or are isolated or bed-bound. Music therapy can be used for children who are anxious or depressed, are physically impaired or are frequently admitted to the hospital. Finally, clinical music therapy may benefit children who have experienced trauma. So let’s as teachers start using music therapy for the benefit for our children.

REFLECTIONS OF INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME The internship is a major part of B.Ed curriculum which includes full time engagement in real school situation for a prolonged period of six month’s duration. Under internship programme, the student -teachers are sent to school to observe the system and be a part of the system of the school. The B.Ed trainees have to give sixty lessons in their respective methods. They have to complete eleven tasks in the tenure of the third semester. I, Baby Mathew got the chance to complete the internship programme in St. Mary’s High School, Nadiad. This is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. All the people associated with the internship programme have been co-operative. The experience of going to St. Mary’s school was both rewarding and worthy. The staff of the school was welcoming and co-operative and encouraging. The most worth mentioning experience is of taking classes. Initially for the first three days there was no time table or routine for us to take classes. I was given Math in sixth, seventh standards and science in eighth standard. English and Grammar in seventh standard, spokenEnglish in tenth standard. I could finish my syllabus for October and it was an achievement. The most worth noting experience is that I learnt to manage class. I found teaching with the help of teaching aids is very interesting. Co-operation amongst peers was also a lesson that I learnt. During this tenure of internship, I also learnt lessons of practical discipline from various rule and regulations of the school. I got the opportunity of coordinating co-curricular activities of the school and judge two of the activities. It was great exposure and golden chance for me. I received various experiences of real life classroom situation. I am satisfied with the co-operative and helpful behavior of the parent-teacher, principal, peer teacher, mentor and the people associated with the internship programme.

SPIDER AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
You’ve probably heard about the German pickle stories where adults hang a pickle in a Christmas tree and the first child that finds it gets an extra gift. Now if you thought that was unique and culturally different, then you ought to know that Ukrainians put spider webs in their Christmas trees. Now you may be wondering why Ukrainians would do that. Here’s how one of the versions of the legend goes. There once was a widow who lived in a cramped old hut. She lived with her children. Outside their home was a tall pine tree. From the tree dropped a pine cone that soon started to grow from the soil. The children were excited about the prospect of having a Christmas tree, and so they tended to it, ensuring that it would continue to grow and be strong until it became tall enough to be a Christmas tree to take inside their home. Unfortunately, the family was poor and even though they had a Christmas tree, they couldn’t afford to decorate it with ornaments for Christmas. And so on Christmas Eve, the widow and her children went to bed knowing that they would have a bare Christmas tree on Christmas morning. The spiders in the hut heard the sobs of the children and sad cries, and decided they would not leave the Christmas tree bare. So the spiders created beautiful webs on the Christmas tree, decorating it with elegant and beautiful silky patterns. When the children woke up early on Christmas morning they were jumping for excitement. They went to their mother and woke her up. “Mother, you have to come see the Christmas tree. It’s so beautiful!” As the mother woke and stood in front of the tree, she was truly amazed at the sight that lay before her eyes. One of the children opened up the window as the sun was shining. The sun would slide along the floor and slowly glide up the Christmas tree and onto the webs. As the rays of the sun shone on the tree, the webs turned into glittering silver and gold colour; making the Christmas tree dazzle and sparkle with a magical twinkle. From that day forward the widow never felt poor, instead she was always grateful for all the wonderful gifts she already had in life. This is why you will see Ukrainians decorate their Christmas tree with a spider web. It’s believed that the webs will bring good fortune and luck for the upcoming year.

A TRUE FRIENDSHIP: GOD’S GIFT Friends are the family we get to choose. Friends are people we love to spend time with. A child needs friends to play: youngsters need friends to enjoy their period of life. An old man needs friends to discuss the ups and downs of their life. Even a sage needs a friend for company in his loneliness. Thus man needs friends in pleasure or in pain. “Do to others what you want others do to you” from Bible reminds of me that when we want to experience love from others we need to give love to others. A true friendship is who sees the first tear, catch the second tear and stops the third tear. It is said that in life evil is more attractive than good. So it is hard to make choice of friends. Faithful friends will never run away in our adverse time. Bad company ruins our character while good company takes us to the peak of progress. Hence it makes our life meaningful. Friends are Gods gifts to us. God’s glory is all around us, we just have to be positive, optimistic, open minded, kind, caring and loving in our friendship. So that we can relate with all humanity in a healthy manner and this experience will lead us to help and feel empathy with others especially those that are in need of. True friendship springs out from hearts. A pure friendship is like a sheltering tree. As a tree gives shelter to a passer-by in his hour of need, so a pure friend. A true friendship makes the personality of a person and leads one to success and happiness. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness. Submitted by Sr. Saritha Naradala B.Ed.

IN LOVING MEMORY - SHANTA BAA
It was really sad moment for the whole Waymade Family when the respected noble mother of donors Mr.Vijay Bhai and Mr. Bhikhu Bhai, bid farewell and went into the Ultimate Abode for rest. We heard inspiring stories of her courage and determination to bring up her sons single handedly. Through many ups and downs, she had been a pillar of strength for her sons and inspired them to be leading businessmen of UK. Her sad demise is not only loss to her family but also to Waymade family. May her soul rest in peace!
