Synopsis

As the author of this brilliant and insightful book, I am passionate about introducing innovative ideas, diverse perspectives, and in-depth discussions on ‘Redesigning Teacher Evaluation’ and Empowering teacher through self- evaluation’ the evolving teaching and learning methodologies of the 21st century. This brilliant book is designed for educators who seek to empower and enrich their students’ cognitive development through effective, engaging, and seamless instructional approaches.
By critically analysing various models, strategies, and techniques, this book provides teachers with essential tools to enhance their classroom practices effectively. Through honest self-evaluation and self-assessment, educators can refine their teaching methodologies, identify learning gaps, and pursue continuous self-improvement-ultimately fostering professional growth with a strong sense of responsibility and accountability.
‘Teaching is more than just an occupation’ it is a noble calling. It is not merely about producing engineers, scientists, doctors, or lawyers-it is about shaping well-rounded individuals who contribute to a better society. Teachers are the architects of the future, the guardians of culture and morality, passing knowledge and values from one generation to the next. Their role is profound, their influence immeasurable, and their contribution to society invaluable timeless and limitless.
“The difference between an effective teacher and less effective teacher is that, it’s not about what they know about teaching &learning strategies, it’s about ‘how they execute, how they do things.’ In this case an effective teacher will execute and they do different. Whereas less effective teacher not.”
An effective teacher serves as an instructional leader in four fundamental areas. The first is creating a well-structured and impeccable plan. The second is execution, which involves the process and practice of teaching. The third is evaluation, and the final area is application. The effectiveness of a teacher lies in consistently reviewing strategies and processes, ensuring the achievement of desired learning outcomes at the right time, and fostering the development of appropriate behaviors that align with realistic goals.
An effective teacher differs from a less effective one because they inspire and influence their students, either directly or indirectly. Inspiration and influence are not confined to our favorite teachers; they can come from anywhere-nature, people, or even seemingly ordinary experiences. Inspiration knows no boundaries; it transcends regions, individuals, and limitations. For instance, the greatest scientist, Albert Einstein, drew inspiration from the works of Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, and James Clerk Maxwell. This illustrates that the influence of a teacher is not restricted to a particular place or region; instead, it spreads like a gentle, refreshing breeze, reaching anyone, anywhere, in countless ways. Observation and imitation are fundamental steps to get practice of better learning to happen. Similarly Faraday was influenced by Humphry Davy professor although he was not a regular student for his classes when he was teaching. As we know that primary responsibility of an effective teacher of 21st century is that measuring learning outcomes quantitatively of his /her students through an effective classroom management and also using appropriate tools and techniques of teaching learning curriculum? The success of teachers in any school of India depends on appropriate measuring of the learning outcomes of students precisely and transforming them to global citizens.
