QUALITIES OF AN EDUCATOR
One can become a teacher with
qualification but you become an educator with qualification and qualities. It
is qualities that make an educator stand apart. Every educator must have
qualities like empathy, love, caring, understanding, discipline, honesty,
hardworking, confidence, creativity, punctuality, dedication and motivation and
mastery in his/her subject.
These qualities help an educator to
understand students feeling which will be helpful in teaching. Besides teaching
an educator also has to develop moral values in his/her students so that they
not only are good in studies but also become good human beings. If an educator
understands his/her students, he/she will be able to handle problems arising in
studies and thus will have solutions for all problems. For example, if there
are slow learners in the class the educator will know beforehand how to deal with this in the classroom and if
necessary take extra lessons for them so that they are not left behind and neither
will they feel neglected.
One quality which an educator must
have is that whenever they go to any classroom they should be always smiling.
When students see a smiling face they also feel happy and thus take interest in
the teaching and will pay attention in whatever is taught. Shouting and
punishment will never make students take interest in a class.
An educator must treat all students
alike and solve all queries of the students. This will create respect in the
student’s heart for the educator and students will know that they can approach
the educator in times of their difficulties. They will remember you even after
they have passed out of the school. Thus, Qualification and Qualities can make
a teacher An Educator. -Mrs. Prerna Rathod/ Educator

NAVRATHRI
Navratri ,
is a nine nights (ten days) Hindu festival, celebrated in the autumn every
year. It is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in
various parts of the Indian subcontinent. Theoretically,
there are four seasonal Navratri. However, in practice, it is the
post-monsoon autumn festival called Sharad Navratri that is the most observed in the honor of the
divine feminine Goddess Durga. The festival is celebrated in the
bright half of the Hindu calendar month Ashvin, which typically
falls in the Gregorian months of September and October.
In the
eastern and northeastern states of India, the Durga Puja is
synonymous with Navratri, wherein goddess Durga battles and emerges
victorious over the buffalo demon to help restore Dharma. In the
northern and western states, the festival is synonymous with "Rama
Lila" and Dussehra that celebrates the battle and victory of god Rama over
the demon king Ravana. In southern states, the victory of different
goddesses, of Rama or Saraswati is celebrated. In all cases, the common theme
is the battle and victory of Good over Evil based on a regionally famous epic
or legend such as the Ramayana or
the Devi
Mahatmya.
Celebrations
include stage decorations, recital of the legend, enacting of the story, and
chanting of the scriptures of Hinduism. The nine
days are also a major crop season cultural event, such as competitive design
and staging of pandals,
a family visit to these pandals and
the public celebration of classical and folk dances of
Hindu culture. On the final day, called the Vijayadashami or Dussehra,
the statues are either immersed in a water body such as river and ocean, or
alternatively the statue symbolizing the evil is burnt with fireworks marking
evil's destruction. The festival also starts the preparation for one of the
most important and widely celebrated festival, Diwali,
the festival of lights, which is celebrated twenty days after the Vijayadashami or Dussehra. - Anumesh Rao/ IX/GH
VIJAYADASHAMI
Vijayadashami
also known as Dasara, Dusshera or dussehra is a
major Hindu festival
celebrated at the end of Navratri every year. It is observed on the tenth day in
the Hindu calendar month of Ashvin,
which typically falls in the months of September and October.
Vijayadasami
is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts
of the Indian subcontinent. In
the eastern and northeastern states of India, Vijayadashami marks the end of Durga Puja,
remembering goddess Durga's victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura to
help restore Dharma. In
the northern, southern and western states, the festival is synonymously called
Dussehra. In these regions, it marks the end of "Ramlila"
and remembers God Rama's victory over the demon Ravana. Vijayadasami
celebrations include processions to a river or ocean front that carry clay
statues of Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha and Kartikeya, accompanied by
music and chants, after which the images are immersed into the water for
dissolution. Elsewhere, on Dasara, the towering effigy of Ravana symbolizing
the evil is burnt with fireworks marking evil's destruction. -Diksha
