got to speak a bit, even though it feels like touch & go on the topic, about a passion project I've been pursuing personally for a while now,
“recognising implicit bias within our schools”
It’s a topic close to my heart & I’m grateful for the space to spark that conversation.
By allowing them to take the time they need and then modeling openness and curiosity, we can try and create a safe space to shift from fear to fascination.

Here is a powerful reminder that emotions, even fear, can be gateways to deeper learning and growth! Children feel so much when a toddler and sometimes letting them completely process it can actually have a healing effect. (Even for adults btw).
Houseful on a PD Saturday, a collaborative session by @AhirPritisha for @Victoriouskidss PYP teachers on Assessment capabilities.
Being able to gather upto 100 teachers together to brainstorm and share their practice is so precious.

Happy Teachers' Day to every one of you out there! Not just to school teachers, but to anyone who guides, inspires, and nurtures the growth of others in any capacity.
What an honor it is to be a teacher by profession & even more so when you realize that you’re constantly setting an example for those around you, both in & outside the classroom.
Value the art of executing multiple tasks effectively, not by glorifying multitasking but by emphasizing thoughtful coordination and prioritisation. #lifeskills
Big love to all the amazing teachers out there to manage to juggle parent-teacher meetings & advocate family bonding, despite their own chaotic family schedule.
True leadership requires no costume!
Read my blog on a reflective journey that helped me find strength in my experiences and transform them into a beautiful narrative.
Would love to hear other stories and perspective on this.

Dolls are such respected friends for our toddlers. They are more than just plaything. Looking forward to the day that the society shifts its bias from our little boys playing with dolls!
The list of differences between us is long & keeps getting longer, but it’s this diversity that makes us unique. To embrace this diversity we need to be courageous, tolerant, appreciative of differences, active listeners, gracefully self-regulated, & unbiased communicators.
Remember those posts on Social Media where young kids are pranked with everyday items for gifts? Turns out, young learners often find endless joy & creativity in the simplest resources & can spend hours absorbed in playing with pans & pots.

How are you #kidwatching in your classroom?
Kind of self-explanatory, kidwatching simply means watching-kids. But with a gentle reminder that ‘watching’ is an action verb. A term I got familiarised with by Saha Ahmed. The nerd in me couldn’t stop & had to dig in deeper #pypchat
11th June 2024 was the first ever International Day of Play! What a joyful thing to have this powerful source of learning now recognised internationally. @UNICEF@UNICEFIndia
