1. I think it was great to see the passion that I have for reading and writing get transferred to some of my students. Some students have been writing incessantly, seeking feedback- this is even outside of school curricula and I feel this is something life long. Also, to be able to meet deadlines, and understand new responsibilities was a huge task that I was able to accomplish.
2. So many things. On a personal level, I feel I should be able to give equal attention to my personal and professional life. That didn't quite happen last year. Professionally, I could have explored myriad of other resources- I should challenge myself more with new apps and resources.
3. To empower my students this year, I will make sure they chew on poetry that is life changing, and read passages/articles/ essays that produce empathy, generate awareness; that is my definition of empowerment.

What is something you would change about this year if you could?
taking more reflections from students and coronavirus, airpollution and other multiple impacts on classes
One thing that you will definitely do to empower your students next year !
taking ownership of their learning

I think timely feedback was someting to be proud of.
I would want to upgrade my technical skills to deliver quality training for the software.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Greater focus on self directed learning this year- in terms of classroom engagement practices as well as assessments.Student mentorship programmes were a highlight.
2. Incorporation of greater reflection - for me and for the students. While a variety of teaching practices were employed, I would like to analyse what worked best

# data[].attributes.body
1.I could develop a strong connection with my students and was able to motivate the students of both MYP and DP to believe in their potential and be self- confident. It was really good to see students taking the feedback positively and putting in their best effort to improve. I am also proud to see students taking initiatives for various community projects and the way they are concerned about others.

2.I would have included more variety in my assessments and also it was little difficult to monitor the student’s progress in online sessions.
3.I would like to work towards more student directed learning in my classes.

A teacher's success depends on how their students have succeeded. I have my success and failure in a specific part of the year. Teaching grade 10 was quite a journey for me and my students, and I believe that I have brought the best out of them.  The conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound, but he/she depends on his/her power and his ability to make other people powerful. To awaken the possibilities in students that they have not imagined and this probably can be judged by all the work which has amazed them and the audience. I have personally been proud of many of my student's work like - Tarini's Arabian night cover, some of e-portfolio's work, Music competition held in our school, Bond theme we played during assembly and founder's. 

There was some struggle too in specific grades while teaching online, which I need to work on for next year. 

One thing I would like to empower my students is to strive.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to encourage my students to enhance their language skills and to showcase their learning successfully, and make virtual classes interesting like face to face classes. I will definitely do to empower my students next year is to keep their interest up for the language, to encourage to read more in French.

# data[].attributes.body
1. What are some things were your successes this year that you are proud of?

I think my greater achievement has been the setting up of online feedback sessions - one on one - with all my students. In a way, going virtual has been a good thing from this angle. Students are available after school hours and there is more of a chance to interact with them without them being distracted by their friends. They feel that I am with them whenever they need to talk about something and have been reaching out.

2. What is something you would change about this year if you could?
While many students have been able to transition to taking ownership of their learning, there are others who have used the opportunity to shirk work. This has invariably meant that they have been silent spectators during lessons, and turned in substandard work because they felt that "no one was there". Now that they have the world at their fingertips, they need to be working towards coming into their own as learners.

3. One thing that you will definitely do to empower your students next year !

Scheduling, setting goals, meeting them, reviewing - this is a process that students can learn from each other. I would like to empower them to share their stories with each other so that those who are not able to self-motivate simply because they don't know how, can learn techniques from each other. To that end, I would like to set up student-mentors who look out for their mentees and in turn report progress to me so I may guide them better.

# data[].attributes.body
I am happy that I have been able to break my own mind block towards using technology to aid student learning and that I have been able to adapt to the changing needs of my students.
One thing that I would like to change: I would like to encourage more self directed learning in the students. I wish students could take autonomy for their learning and be more participative.
One thing that I would do to empower my students: Asynchronous learning model is the way forward. It is important to encourage student agency and I will definitely try and incorporate the same in my planning for the coming semester.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a good connect with my group of students in both MYP and DP. The students were receptive to feedback and progress on both academic and non-academic (behaviour) areas were observed. The timely syllabus coverage was adhered to this year as well. I could inculcate the habit of timely submissions this year in a large number of students in my group, which was satisfying.

One thing that I could  change this year:
Considering that virtual teaching is the new norm, I would like to explore new online tools to support my teaching and learning

One thing to empower students:
Empower students to take ownership of their learning - timely submissions , self discipline etc.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I am proud of.

I am really proud of the way how my grade 10 , Grade 12 students have been motivated to do well in the examinations. Their approach towards the classroom was very appreciable. And it is very encouraging for me how grade 10 students had been inclined with my teaching. Grade 11 students also at the end of the year, were very motivated and appreciated the efforts as a teacher, I have taken. I am also happy with the way how the substitutions in Middle school has happened

One thing that I could change this year.
The more collaboration and planning with the same grade teachers, the more rigorous planning on the SDG goals in my teaching.

One thing to empower students.
Inculcate self motivation and self discipline into their regular habits

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I am proud of.

I am proud to take up the challenge to mentor a new student in grade 12. I was her economics teacher as well as her EE supervisor. I was able to perform both these roles satisfactorily.

One thing that I could change this year.

Besides the Covid-19 pandemic to not impair millions, I would have wanted to instil self-discipline to all my MYP students. They were so lackadaisical in their approach towards studies. I have tried many techniques such as punitive measures, threatening them with consequences but, nothing worked for them.

One thing to empower students.

One thing that I would do this year is to practice restorative discipline techniques.

Since this was my first year with grade 9 as a form tutor, IH teacher ,CAS mentor, and IDU teacher, I had a successful year. As a form tutor, i was able to create a culture of respect and freedom in class along with my form tutor. As one of the pioneer teachers of IH, I was able to direct the students to the assessment and subject criteria. I am also proud of my CAS group which worked on Women Empowerment. CAS students were empowered to organize events and workshops independently which is an evidence of student- led empowerment - they were able to raise funds close to 15,000/- during Christmas Carnival by selling products made by them, organised online workshops with a lawyer independently, have used social media to leverage their work.
It has been a pleasure to work with the current batch of grade 9 and see them blossom into young, independent thinkers since grade 6.

# data[].attributes.body
What I am proud of?
I led a workshop for the new curriculum for Lang-Lit for teachers across various international schools in Delhi-NCR. This resulted in an exchange of experiences among teachers in the workshop. It helped me develop new methods and techniques to carry out a smooth transition of the new curriculum in my class. The transition was made further smooth by following the culture of sharing resource material with my students in addition to the prescribed material by IB.

What I want to change?
Due to the current pandemic, I visualize a changing world order where virtual teaching methods would be the norm. Understanding the requirements of my students and presenting them with solutions in a virtual medium would be something I would want to explore, learn, and implement.

What will I do to empower?

Two things I intend to implement asynchronous learning among my students. I would also want to empower them with ethical consciousness that is the bedrock of an ideal learner.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud of the fact that it has been hard but I have tried to build a relationship with my students irrespective of all the fallouts.

What could I change about this year?
Build more meaningful relationships with my students as that will be my first step to make them move forward in helping them on the path of delivering what is expected out of them. Self reflection at the end of each class is what I am consciously going to practice.

What will I do to empower children next year?
Internalise learning, connecting their learning to solving problems in real life is the key essence of learning and that I what I strive to develop in my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Proud of the way students are receiving feedback and working on it; the way students are able to see their own growth/or areas for improvement and articulate it.

What could I change about this year?
If I could Covid 19 😊. Provide more variety in the formative assessments; spend more time on the for, as and of process and how each can lead up to student progress.

What will I do to empower children next year?
Look at different ways to see how a larger group of students can acquire the ability to transfer their language skills to other subjects and in participation beyond the classroom/school

# data[].attributes.body
What am I proud of?

My student stared using rubrics for self-assessment and peer assessment. They have showed positive approach towards learning the language and most of them showed unexpected improvement.
What could I change about this year?
I would have encouraged Out of class learning this year.
What will I do to empower children next year?
I will focus on more towards imbibing ATL skills in my students , out of class learning , Teaching Strategies that match language proficiency .

1. students showed improvement in language learning skills. students showed interest in the language which reflected in their improved grades.
2. Submission - students still did not submit their assignments in time. I have to chase the students for the submission.
3. I would like to develop self- management and discipline skills in my students. So that they are more self -responsible and motivated.

What worked well:                                                                                              I could develop a connection with my students which resulted in them in being open about their concerns and reaching out for help. I am happy to see most of them set goals for themselves asking for guidance for strategies, most worked towards achieving them. Students are now stronger at self assessment and planning for improvement.  Microeconomics IAs submissions on time and the targeted syllabus could be covered.                                             Challenges:                                                                                              Students need to be chased for submission of work assigned since they know it will not go into their grades. Monitoring progress and offering immediate intervention has become difficult with online classes. Some students are still not taking ownership of their learning.        Plan:                                                                                                                      I have asked DP1 students to reflect on the year in terms of achievements and challenges to plan the road ahead. I hope some of them will seriously do the exercise so that we can have a plan to do well in DP exams.I wish we could have some weightage for classwork and work habits in our reports.

It's been good to see the children looking closely at text, and many picking up diction to comment on - a couple are naming the part of speech - and becoming more observant with film clips. Some student led sessions. Session with family in Kabul - making connections - text-to-real world

Submissions - really need to chase and even then some don't submit. In some cases, I have sent emails, but no avail. What I have started is giving short writing pieces - commenting one aspect - in class to do. Also, some children take time to speak up, by then someone else has shared, and then this child feels left out. Some do not pick up the opportunity to contribute to student agency, then feel someone else has got the chance. Need to sort this out.

Continue with student led sessions  and push for more student agency - have loved how some children have taken it up.

1. Successes: seeing student progress and improve was what I am most proud of, and for students to love and enjoy the class.
2. For me it is a bit shocking to see how many students do not submit their work. At the start of the year I gave a couple of detentions, according to the guidelines, but there was no consistency across, I had meetings and the students ended up in the library doing their own thing, not what a detention should be about. I chased the students around, but there was nothing else I could do, and there are no established guidelines.  Only 7-8 students in average used to submit their formatives. Well there are guidelines, but there is no way of putting them into practice, as I said before, in order for them to work there needs to be consistency across school, and a proper system in place. Because most teachers have meetings during the detention day, students end up in the library playing video games or doing their own thing. Some meetings were arranged with students, with the GLC, but for most cases there was no improvement. For me how easy students take this, is appalling. There is also no protocol for not submitting work during our online lessons, however, I did constantly email students for not showing up to class, and not submitting important work, and in the case of one student, Anshu was very supportive and helped me arrange a meeting. She provided a constant guidance during the online period. Students need to take work more seriously and learn that there are consequences for not following rules.
3. I will give them the opportunity to take part in activity and project decisions, so they truly feel they have an active role in their learning.

1.	What are some things were your successes  this year that you are proud of?Writing skills among the students who come to Film are always a challenge and the year started like that. But of the 4 students I have in Grade 11 (1 joined much later and I have had little time with her, so not counting her) I am pleased with the ability that 2 have developed in being able to identify what is expected and write to fulfill that expectation. I feel peer marking has helped in this because even the 2 who are still facing issues in writing are able to mark appropriately and identify what is working and what is not.2.	What is something you would change about this year if you could?The COVID19 crisis of course! Even as we have adapted to the online space and have rushed into coping, I feel we need to think about its limitations and what it means for education, not just in terms of skill-building but in terms of global awareness, collaboration and empathy. 3.	One thing that you will definitely do to empower your students next year !The year looks so uncertain and if I had answered this question before the COVID 19 crisis, I would have said more short creative exercises to enable students to play with their imagination. But now I think there is something more that we need to think about – I think it is important for students to understand and reflect on the divide between people, including the digital divide, and I would like to build that into the work we do together. Empowerment should not only be seen in terms of one’s own skills but how that those work towards a rounded education building on global awareness and empathy. I think that ties into the IB learner profile. So, I would like to create exercises for them that focus on this either in terms of content or form, perhaps giving them prompts that make them think about others, create stories based on research about other contexts.

1) Being able to have learnt how MYP works having not known anything about it in July 2019 and feel like I have learnt a lot about it in a short amount of time. Being able to unconfuse G9 students in regards to Integrated Humanities on what they had signed up for as a “new” subject and what it is really about. Helping students focus on what they need to do as a learner to help themselves improve in the 4 criteria. In regards to Geography it was good to be able to put into practice things I had done in other schools and test them out here.
2) You can’t change the past, just look forward to what could be built upon next year. Through experience I can be better prepared to see the cars coming next year.
3) More creative assessments and helping students focus even more on themselves in terms of taking ownership of their learning journey building on this years advice and direction.
4) I think as my 2nd year next year I should look at what worked and tweak it and for anything that didn’t, change it or try something differently.

1. Despite the challenges of teaching a subject like Maths without a physical interface or at least the necessary tools like a digital pad, being able to devise ways for effective learning to take place.
2. A more explicit connection with the ATL skills can be attempted.
3. As the Russian psychologist Vadam Krutetskii had said, '... abilities are always the result of development. They are formed and developed in life, during activity, instruction, and training. Abilities are always abilities for a definite kind of activity, they exist only in a person's specific activity ... Accordingly, mathematical ability exists only in mathematical activity and should be manifested in it.' So the way to further empower students in this field is to provide them with more opportunities to immerse themselves in mathematical activities.

1)Timely submissions of ePortfolios happened and most of the learners are clear about the criteria and the strands of arts in IB. Learners explored a variety of skills and techniques in different units. The trip to a theatre festival was productive, more than expected. The idea of what theatre can be and can do expanded.

2)Would like to make the guiding questions more precise and simpler so that students writing ePortfolio tasks have absolute clarity and yet are able to provide insightful and meaningful evidences of their learning which are directly connected with the strands. Follow up systems can be more organized and clear for parents as well. Bringing in more details to differentiation in classrooms is something I would like to change. I would like to give more time to each learner in order to become more aware of their individual needs and abilities.

3)Interaction with artists from diverse forms of theatre, diverse regions will definitely empower them. If possible, exposure to inter school theatre festivals.

What am I proud of?
My students are accurate with peer and self assessment. I think this year some of them have truly imbibed aspects of marking rubrics. They are able to apply it well and use it to finetune their responses. I am proud of this.
What could I change about this year?
Get students to have a stronger ownership of their work - right from planning to implementation.
What will I do to empower children next year?
As I was working on the ATL doc, I realised that there are opportunities of self-management skill that I do not consciously provide for children in my class. I shall work on that. I believe self-management skills help in getting ahold of oneself and enable people to achieve a lot more. It is empowering.
