Academic Moot 2024-25: My learning story

It was a fruitful workshop that makes us think differently and look at our own strengths and weaknesses in an innovative way. The experience from this workshop gave me food for thought. It was an engaging session with such a big group. It helped us to learn about skillful and effective use of our resources in an inspiring environment for both staff and learners, to dream about every minute details of our school to develop a better learning community.

The notion of six thinking hats from Edward De Bono and idea of ‘A Slight Edge’ was the key take away.

The experience I got from this workshop was fantastic, informative and worth the wait. This workshop exceeded my expectations as it provided us with specific and valuable professional skills of leadership and management.

The workshop was highly informative and engaging, providing a valuable learning experience. It clarified many practices we were already doing by introducing the proper terminology. I found it motivational, reinforcing my determination to bring visible changes to my school's ethos.

We learned about the importance of the "slight edge," meaning that as a section head, even small changes should be made visible across learners, teachers, walls, windows, helping staff, and corridors.

The most impactful was the idea of dreaming big—aiming for the moon, and even if we miss, we'll still land among the stars. This emphasizes the importance of setting high goals. We also explored De Bono's Six Hats theory, which highlights different leadership styles and the need for a leader to adapt their approach based on the situation. The workshop stressed the strategic use of all resources—human, documentary, physical, or programmatic.

Additionally, we learned about teacher observation strategies, Teacher observations should be developmental, aimed at reducing the fear of being observed. Ideally, teachers should feel comfortable inviting us to observe them. This can be achieved by shifting our focus from the teachers themselves to the learners in the classroom.

We delved into pedagogical instructional leadership and transformational leadership. The workshop concluded with a reminder that, as vice principals, we have significant responsibilities, so it's crucial to take small, clear, and simple steps to fulfill them effectively.

Nimra Irshad : Lahore Boys Campus:My Learning Journey in the Academic Moot

Participating in the academic moot was an enriching experience that broadened my understanding and polished my skills in various areas. One of the key takeaways was learning to think from different perspectives, guided by De Bono's Hats approach. This method allowed me to approach challenges with a more structured and diverse mindset, considering multiple angles before arriving at a decision.

The working wall model proved to be an invaluable tool in visualizing and tracking progress. While pasting the progression of students' work seems challenging, my team and I are actively working on refining this practice to ensure it effectively showcases the students' development.

As the coordinator, I also gained firsthand experience in the importance of minute details when organizing an event. This role taught me that attention to every small aspect is crucial for the seamless execution of any project.In the next year, I wish for my school to focus on enhancing student engagement by implementing more interactive and student-centered teaching methods to increase participation and interest in learning. I also aim to provide continuous professional development opportunities for teachers to improve instructional strategies and stay updated with the latest educational trends. Additionally, I plan to upgrade the use of technology in classrooms, including smart boards, educational software, and online resources, to support diverse learning needs.

In three years, I envision the school establishing a reputation for academic excellence, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation across all subjects. I also see the development of a well-rounded curriculum that promotes not only academic success but also physical, emotional, and social development through sports, arts, and extracurricular activities. Furthermore, I aim to strengthen ties with the community by involving parents and local organizations in school activities and creating programs that benefit both students and the wider community.In the next year, it will be essential for students to experience more hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. This could include project-based learning, field trips, and collaborative group work that fosters critical thinking and teamwork. Additionally, students should have access to diverse extracurricular activities that help them discover and develop their interests and talents beyond academics. Building a supportive and inclusive school environment where every student feels valued and encouraged to participate will also be crucial.

Looking three years ahead, I want students to engage in more global perspectives through experiences like cultural exchange programs, collaborations with students from other countries, and the integration of global issues into the curriculum. It will also be essential for them to develop leadership skills through involvement in student-led initiatives and community service projects. Furthermore, I envision students gaining a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence and mental well-being through programs that promote self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, preparing them to navigate challenges both in and out of school.

In the next year, I want my pupils to feel a strong sense of belonging and confidence as they navigate their school journey. They should experience the joy of learning, curiosity, and excitement in exploring new ideas and subjects. I also want them to feel supported and understood by their teachers and peers, creating an environment where they can express themselves freely and take risks in their learning without fear of judgment.

Looking three years ahead, I hope my pupils will experience a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment as they recognize their own potential and the impact they can have on the world around them. I want them to feel empowered, knowing that they have the skills and knowledge to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Additionally, they should experience a sense of pride and accomplishment, both in their academic achievements and in the personal growth they’ve undergone throughout their school journey. Above all, I want them to carry a lasting feeling of connection and camaraderie with their peers, knowing they’ve built meaningful relationships and memories that will stay with them long after they leave school.

Academic Moot 2024 - My Learning Experience

I had the privilege to attend a two-day Math session with Ma’am Rubina, which was truly an incredible journey. This experience opened my eyes to how meaningful Math teaching can be. I discovered that with just one resource, you can explore multiple angles of a single concept. The insightful learning over those two days was remarkable.

Following that, I spent the next two days with Ma’am Bushra Shah, which was equally amazing. She explained various approaches, highlighting the most relevant ones. We also reviewed our curriculum storyboard, an impressive effort where the detailed planning and execution are truly commendable.

The final day was another wonderful experience with Ma’am Tayyaba Amir. She began with the concept of the "slight edge" and an intriguing activity involving saving an egg, both of which were thought-provoking. Later, we delved into transformational and instructional leadership, exploring our leadership styles and how to enhance them. We discussed how to conduct observations and organize coordination meetings, making the learning deeply impactful.

Lastly, the session on the Six Thinking Hats for vice principals emphasized the importance of thorough planning and execution in schools. A key takeaway was the importance of dreaming about the future of our schools, teachers, and custodial staff, setting high standards, and striving to achieve them. This experience was truly inspiring.
