A thread #ReadWithATeacher significantly challenged my notion that teachers don't read. #DelhiGovtSchool teachers read and also promote the culture of reading. Gratitude to @PbpandeyB sir and team education @Dir_Education!

The Inevitable Nature of Workplace Politics Every workplace has its own concentric circles of power, trust, and influence. The closer we get to power, the harder objectivity becomes. Perhaps the margins offer a vantage point. Read at reflectivediary.com/node/360 #SundayDiaryy

When students write independently, they move from consuming knowledge to creating it. Through reflectivediary, I try to nurture their voices and give their thoughts the recognition they deserve. Every young voice matters. Read at reflectivediary.com/node/359 #SundayDiaryy

What happens when the tools of an old paradigm can no longer solve the problems of a changing world? Reading Thomas Kuhn made me reflect on education, the learning crisis, and AI as a catalyst for rethinking. Perhaps it’s time to retool. reflectivediary.com/node/358 #SundayDiaryy

What happens to teaching when every answer is a prompt away? My reflection from a global Fulbright webinar on AI: we must not outsource curiosity, judgement or meaning-making. Protect the question. Read at reflectivediary.com/node/357 #SundayDiaryy #FulbrightTeach

What does it mean to become a teacher? These reflections by student teachers capture a journey of nervousness, discovery, classroom realities, reflection—and the gradual making of a teacher. #SundayDiaryy Continue to read at reflectivediary.com/node/355

“यह बच्चा सीखने वाला नहीं है।” शिक्षण में शायद इससे अधिक खतरनाक निष्कर्ष कोई नहीं। जिस दिन हम बच्चे की सीखने की क्षमता पर सवाल लगाना बंद कर, अपने तरीके पर सवाल पूछना शुरू करते हैं—शायद उसी दिन एक शिक्षक के रूप में हमारी असली सीख शुरू होती है। reflectivediary.com/node/354 #SundayDiaryy

Aspiring teachers’ “Ideal Teacher’s Wall” reminded me: students may forget what we teach, but rarely forget how we made them feel. Perhaps teaching begins with becoming the person we want our students to meet. Continue to read at reflectivediary.com/node/353 #SundayDiaryy

Before we call parents uninterested in their children’s education, we need to ask: What choices do they actually have? A child doesn’t enter our classroom alone—they bring their family, struggles, responsibilities and aspirations with them. reflectivediary.com/node/352 #Sundaydiaryy

A teacher is not born the day they enter a B.Ed. classroom. The birth happens when they step into their first classroom—with the humility to learn, the courage to reflect, and the commitment to become a better human being. #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/351

We are debating examination reform. I think the real crisis is education. When young people should be reading, dreaming, and engaging with ideas, many are spending their most productive years memorising facts for competitive exams. reflectivediary.com/node/348 #SundayDiaryy

"It does not at first occur to a young child that it is possible to lie. The possibility of lying is a discovery, due to observation of grown-ups quickened by terror.” #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/347

An American teacher asked me, "How does an Indian girl have the courage to stand before a police vehicle?" I argue in the #SundayDiaryy: "Democracy Doesn't Allow People's Movements. It's Rooted in Them." Read at reflectivediary.com/node/346

Can academia truly become stronger by listening more closely to schools? In his #SundayDiaryy piece, Dr. Ajay Kumar Choubey argues that knowledge does not flow only from universities—it also emerges from classrooms, teachers, and children. Read at reflectivediary.com/node/345

We often call AI-generated language "artificial." But what if language itself has always been artificial? Speech built communities. Writing built civilizations. AI may simply be the next chapter in the evolution of language. #SundayDiaryy. reflectivediary.com/node/344

My latest #SundayDiaryy explores AI, Harari's idea of bureaucratic intelligence, Sartre's notion of intersubjectivity, and the paradox at the heart of the AI debate. Read-reflectivediary.com/node/343 #AI #Philosophy #Consciousness #YuvalHarari

This week's #SundayDiaryy features a thought-provoking reflection by Manjot Kaur on an often-overlooked aspect of teaching: our emotional lives. Good teachers don't become impatient overnight. classroom shapes what happens inside it. reflectivediary.com/node/342

Finding the Unheard Voice In my latest #SundayDiaryy, I reflect on a question raised by a reader: Does the absence of certain participants also become part of the story we are trying to understand? #SundayDiaryy Continue to read at reflectivediary.com/node/341

One of the biggest confusions in qualitative research(QR) comes from trying to understand it through the lens of quantitative research. In QR, sometimes the most valuable insights are the ones we were not looking for in the first place. reflectivediary.com/node/340 #SundayDiaryy

In Search of a Learning Culture Educational institutions become learning organizations not because they employ educators, but because educators are willing to learn in public. A week of peer learning reminded me of this simple truth. reflectivediary.com/node/339 #SundayDiaryy

Information is not learning. Learning begins when information is processed—through writing, discussion, questioning, reflection, and application. Perhaps the problem with many classrooms is the lack of opportunities for learners to think. #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/337
