In response to Animal School Fable, the teacher should teach the students according to the needs of the students and their capabilities. As the five fingers aren't equal so is the strength of the students. So it is the duty of the teacher to identify the weak and strong points of the students and should polish them accordingly.
ReplyDeleteWe Teacher must teach students as per syllabus from nearest example to far to make them better understand the contents.
ReplyDeleteSecondly we must ask questions to students as per their capabilities.
As per my responsibility I perfer to teach the students according to the students need and for their improvement in subject. Using many methods in teaching learning process I use to make their learning easy and simple.
ReplyDeleteTeachers play a very important role in a student's life.As a teacher,we must bring out the best in students and inspire them to strive for greatness.Students are considered as the future of the nation and humankind,and a teacher is believed to be credible guide for their advancement.We must treat all the students equally and should boost their morale and guide them to be more valuable in life.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the animal fable school, we understand that schools and teachers should accomodate their teaching skills according to the needs and interests of children. Children should be given certain freedom to choose or do what they find interesting and are good at.
ReplyDeleteWe should teach according to need of students in the class room..
ReplyDeleteWe should understand the diversity of the students. Also teach them accordingly.
DeleteAccording to animal school fable i will teach each students as per their needs and understanding level as each students are different in their own level.
ReplyDeleteTeacher interect with students according to students need
ReplyDeleteEducation should be child centric. Every child has different needs so I will try to adopt teaching as per individual need.
ReplyDeleteand I will never compromise with the god gifted quality of the child even I will try to use this gift for other subject also where I can use this as base for the other subjects.
Through animal school fable, it is explained that everyone in this world are born with some hidden talents and it is our duty to do the "TALENT HUNT" to extract the best in each child as per their potentiality and capability.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Animal school fable we understand that as a teacher we should try to incorporate and accommodate with the different learning styles in our teaching learning process as per the needs of students
ReplyDeleteFrom the Animal fable school I believe it is our teachers responsibility to teach students according to the learning capacity of the students and we should give give examples from the nearest to the far and known to unknown.
ReplyDeleteAccording to animal school fable, it's being taught that school is a place with diverse children. So as teacher we must know how to tackle the problems of every students and know their weaknesses and strength. It's the duty of teacher to teach every students to treat everyone equally. As every has no equal learning capabilities so the teacher should teach students with different learning styles and give every students equal opportunities to explore and learn.
ReplyDeleteAs we have seen thr r different types of animals with different types of talents, our students also have different types of talents, capacities, learning abilities, etc. And as a teacher we r suppose to identify these differences and make sure to give our best to address these diversities. We r suppose to make sure every student learn n understand, bring out the best in them.
ReplyDeleteThe Animal School Fable teaches us the importance of focusing on our strengths. We know that not every child is the same and their abilities are also different. So there should be an inclusive classroom for all. The curriculum should be flexible and the capabilities of each child should be assessed accordingly.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it is one of the area where our education system has to be revived and changed. Our learners are compelled to study all the subjects till class x despite of their core areas of interest.
ReplyDeleteBy knowing animal fable story I learnt that all r not same. Every individual have different capabilities. So as teacher v must know these differences and teach the students accordingly and also we should not do any comparison between the students.
ReplyDeleteThe fable reflects for addressing the diversity in classroom that as a teacher we should understand the strength and weak points of every student and teach and nurture accordingly. Apart from these as a teacher one must always try to appreciate and boost the confidence of the students and must not try to make any comparison in the class. As every individuals are gifted with their own capabilities. Therefore, we as a teacher must understand and accept every student in thier own purest form.
ReplyDeleteMost people would say it's to learn the three R's: reading,writing, and 'arithmetic. But a school culture that promotes diversity in the classroom teaches. Students something that more important: how to live and work in a society where individual is unique.
ReplyDeleteIn an increasingly with poor fragmented society, the ability to poor, coworkers and neighbors with diverse backgrounds and abilities is invaluable. Diversity improves critical -thinking, skill, build empathy and encourages students to think different.
According to animal fable school,each individual is different from other in terms of abilities, capabilities and knowledge. So, We as a teacher have to guild or teach each student according to their capabilities and abilities. We have to show them the right direction .
ReplyDeleteThe story... Animal Fable School, best resembles the curriculum and inclusive classroom activities where we came across differently abled students with whom we've to impart necessary lessons on them...
ReplyDeleteWe teachers need to use examples which are appropriate to the main topics for better understanding of the students.
ReplyDeleteFor teachers all students are same but keeping in mind that they have different cognizant level. Hence, teach according to the different needs of the different background of students.
ReplyDeleteOn the basis of animal School fable, I being a teacher would like to emphasize on the needs and interest of the students by identifying it and also taking consideration from his / herp previous knowledge. Make the better the best should be our moto, but basic knowledge should also be imparted.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher it is our duty to give equal time and opportunity to each and every student to put their questions and their views.
ReplyDeleteAll children has different potential, abilities and capabilities . It is we teacher who can help them to bring out the best in them. So, our duty is to guide them by realising their potential.
ReplyDeleteThe points that emerges from the fable for addressing the diversity in one's classroom is that in the class room there is a diversity of abilities among the diversity of students ..One must focus over the respective abilities of each students so that each students could get opportunity to reflect their talents ... Instead of forcing them to perform the activities that beyond of their abilities...
ReplyDeleteIn every classroom we can different type of learners such slow learner,average ,fast ,and special needs children, so being a teacher we must understand the learners needs and teaches accordingly.
ReplyDeleteTalents of students should be recognized by the teacher and efforts should be made accordingly to develop their potentials. For this personal care is needed which is a difficult task on the part of a teacher but it is possible.
ReplyDeleteThe fable reflects the different learning capabilities of students and a teacher must recognise those things.With the right tools, teachers can reach each of their students no matter how different the styles of learning may be.
ReplyDeleteThe fable depicts that every individual has got a unique hidden talent and potential in themselves and we the teacher must nurture that potential of the student rather than imposing everything that system demands.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, I'll learn about the students background, interests and learning styles, I will allow time for the students learn about each other and gain an appreciation for the diversity they bring in the classroom. Students might be able to connect with each other. Bullying, teasing and other put down behaviour at anytime in the classroom should not tolerate.
ReplyDeleteAs per Animal School Fable, each students are unique with their unique capabilities, but this theory has a different scenario in this time of Pandemic. Students go through a roller coaster ride because of new teaching process, and pandemic
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, I try to simplify my teaching and be available for students, for both academics queries and as an emotional support.
We as a teacher should teach every student according to their needs and capabilities.we should make them learn by balancing their strengths and weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteAs stated diversity in classroom, no student in a class will be the same. Some learn slow while some learn fast. So, teachers are to identify such learners in a class and plan his/her teaching accordingly.
ReplyDeleteTeacher plays a very vital role in the society to shape and nourish future youths, as a teacher we must know their strength and weakness shaping them up in a better way. As no one is same as it's stated a good teacher will be able to identify their differences and work on it
ReplyDeleteEvery studens is unique in their own way. Every studens has same or the other talent hidden them.So, as teachers should find that hidden talent in our students and motivated to learn according to their capability.
ReplyDeleteDiversity is everything that makes students different from each other.This includes race, ethnicity,gender, sexual orientation,socio-economics statue,ability,age, religious belief,or political conviction. All these factors work together to inform how students, teachers and everyone else encounter the world.
ReplyDeleteThe diversity in the class room may be defined as understanding each student brings unique experience, strengths and ideas to class room.
If we ignore the issue of diversity in the class room and choose to not promote diversity in our school,we are not doing Justice with our job.
The main ways to support diversity in the class-room are as follows:
1.Examine our teaching materials at time of teaching any subject.
2. Get to know our student by taking time to learn about our students.
3. Be willing to address in equality.
4.Connect with parents and community meet diverse learning needs.
5.Support professional development opportunity.
6.Hire diversity.
A classroom has different types of children , each of them has its unique abilities and capabilities.Thus means that it should be encouraged by the teacher.
ReplyDeleteEach student is unique. They learn in their own pace and in their own way. We must never compare one with the another. We must nuture them ,and let them learn and develop with our help.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, we should be creative and come up with different activities so that all the students learn properly because they all have different learning capacity.
ReplyDeleteIn response to the animal school fable we learn that every student is different in their own way.One child's weakness may be the other child's strength.Therefore we need to address the needs of the students accordingly.The children should never be compared to each other but instead they must be encouraged to polish their own abilities and skills for a better tomorrow.The teacher must be a keen observer too so that she can understand the different abilities of each student and help them nuture it.

ReplyDeleteLet the fish swim. Let the rabbits run and let the eagles fly. Parents feed their children but the role of teachers must not stick to teaching only. They must try to identify the inborn quality aspects of the learners and share ideas in extra curricular activities too. Let them choose what they want to become. Our duty is to guide and nurture them as they are our future.
ReplyDeleteStudents are considered as the future of the nation and humankind,and a teacher is believed to be credible guide for their advancement.We must treat all the students equally and should boost their morale and guide them to be more valuable in life.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Animal School fable we have learnt that students are all different. They have different learning abilities and capabilities. So, we should understand the strengths and abilities of each and every students and make strategies to teach them accordingly. Let's take an example from the fable, a duck has the capability to swim but if it is ask to climb the tree and all stuff then it will be difficult for the duck and also at last the duck couldn't even swim (in which it is good at). Therefore we as teachers should understand the needs and interests of the students and try to teach accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIn response to the animal schoolfable,teacher should understand the capabality,creativity and limitations of the students who are from different backgrounds.Teacher should adopt flexiable and the most appropriate method of teaching learning process.
ReplyDeleteWe should student centric. Each student is unique and has some potentiality.Teacher should unfold that qualities.
ReplyDeleteWe being a teacher we should appreciate and accept the individual difference of the student and should guide them as per their interest, ability and needs
ReplyDeleteAccording to animal school fable,we should be sensitive and identify differences in learners and appreciate them.We should accept socio-cultural and physical variations among learners.We should avoid comparing children.
ReplyDeleteFrom fable we get a lesson that every child is different from each other. Teacher should teach to inculcate their inner capabilities.
ReplyDeleteThe fable brings out the reality that exists in the classroom. Every child is different from each other. The all grasp things according to their capacity. We as a teacher should give equal importance to every one of them and try to guide and nurture them equally. We should try to unlock at what the students are best in and encourage them as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the animal fable school., as a teacher we should understand the diversity among the students and according to their diversity ,we provide them appropriate learning materials ,so that the learner can grasp the content correctly and easily.
ReplyDeleteThe animal school Fable reflects that every student has a unique nature, talent and capabilities. So, as a teacher we should teach and guide them according to their needs and interest. And our education system should be student-centric.
ReplyDeleteThe animal school fable tells us that every child has a unique talent. Therefore, a teacher should use the student-centric method to guide them. Also, a school culture that promotes diversity in the classroom teaches students something that is more important to live in a society.
ReplyDeleteAccording to animal school fable we get a lesson that every child is different from each other and it tells us that every child has a unique and hidden talent on them.
ReplyDeleteWe as a teacher should understand the students and their talents. We should give them equal importance and we must try to guide and nurture them equally.We never compare with one another.
As we know each class has based on heterogeneous . So, Diversity in the classroom builds better thinkers and it helps to developed respect one anothers uniqueness.
ReplyDeleteEvery student possess different capacity of understanding. So we as a educator needs to learn/ study every child's level of understanding and impart the knowledge in a way so that everyone grasp it.
ReplyDeleteWhat the animal school fable tells us that there is diversity in class with regard to student's capacity of learning,all students have their strengths and weaknesses, psychological, social and economic differences.We as a teacher need to address these differences and make teaching and learning process inclusive in nature.Teachers should spend time with students and learn about them,about their strength and weakness.We should focus on development of all the students in the classroom.In this way we can ensure inclusive learning.
ReplyDeleteWe Teachers should be very sensitive when dealing with a students because each and every students is different, their perpective for learning is different..some may be good and some may be poor in learning. Teacher should show empathy towards its students..so that it can properly assess its student and deal it in learning process for all kind of students.

ReplyDeleteSince all students are not equal in their ability and capability. So therefore, a healthy environment should be created where problems of all types of students can be addressed. To ensure inclusive learning we should pay attention to all categories of students so that balance can be maintained between strength and weakness of students and that is what the animal school fable tells.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing that is very important for a teacher for coordinating a diverse classroom is to have a positive attitude.Teacher has to really appreciate and approve the diverse capacity students have in them,
ReplyDeletefrom this fable we get to understand that each and every students be strong or weak physically or psychologically has their own point of burden and point of relief while taking up and going through the pre designed educational plan. So the teacher now has that opportunity to discover the students' interest or weakness and guide/help student for their actual progress. Just one suggestion I found effective is like this -- a teacher can show the students the link between 2 disciplines ( say one subject is from their liking e.g. physics and one which they feel boring e.g. biology) so students can see the point of interest in the subject they dislike too (as teacher will show student the link between physics and biology by giving examples of rules of physics being applied in biology)
According to the fable each child is different from one another in terms of their talent, knowledge and capabilities.Being a teacher we have to recognize the differences and always try to encourage in every field according to the needs of students.
ReplyDeleteWe as teachers and mentors should accept that each and every student is special. They have some special qualities, some are good in a special field or subject and weak in another. We have to motivate encourage and praise them whenever it is needed. If a student is weak in some subject, we have to show patience and encourage them rather than criticize them. We have to help them by slowing down our teaching process and ask classmates also to help them and not discourage them. Even parents have to be supportive of their children rather than comparing them with other children.

ReplyDeleteThe most important learning from the animal school fable is that each and every students are different, we as teachers should identify the strength and weakness of the students and guide them as per their needs. We must guide them in such a way that they can be the best version of themselves. We must try to modify our teaching style as per the interest of the students.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher and mentor, it is our prime responsible to identify the diversity existing in class room. Some students are perfect in sports, some are in cultural, some are in literary activities,some are in study. Even the level of learning on different subjects are not equal. Therefore, we have to identify them guide and mould them towards right direction to reach target. Special attention is to be given to disable children in teaching learning process .
ReplyDelete21st Century classroom is heterogynous one. So, my aim must be creating and adopting skills suitable to meet all type of children, specially children with special needs but must not distinguished them amidst or in front of other children. All children must be included in every type of work in accordance with their abilities, aptitudes and interest. My class Must be INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM
ReplyDeleteThe school set by the animals in the fable shows that their motive is the all round development of the children. Secondly, we should take into consideration the learning abilities of each child because every individual differs in learning ability.
ReplyDeletePoints:
ReplyDeletea) Differences should be identified.
b) Accomodate different types of teaching method according to student's need.
c) Forcing one kind of learning methods on students will only burden them. It will lead to lesser learning outcomes.
Firstly we must understand each students weakness and strength and accordingly go through with it. Needs of every student may vary so the process of teaching should be accordingly designed and professed.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the animal school fable,every child is different from each other so their interest and capabilities too.So,we being teacher we must understand differences and our teaching must be need based. Like a potter,a teacher must mould their students in the direction in which they are good at.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the animal fable we must take care of every student's mental ability and their strength. Each and every child has their own creativity and weakness as a teacher we must encourage them to give their best in their own genre. We must be very conscious about their capabilities.
ReplyDeleteEvery child is special in their own way and as a teacher we must understand and value each and everyone in the class.We should create positive and friendly environment in the classroom.There should be healthy interaction between teacher and student. A child should b encouraged to express their ideas and field of interest and act accordingly
ReplyDeleteEvery child is different from one another.No children are equal in terms of intelligence, abilities, capabilities or skills. Therefore, as a teacher we should try to understand and let the child pick up the activities and studies in their own pace. We shouldn't force the child or make it compulsory for them to learn a particular subject. As an educator we need to try to recognise the weak area of a child and work on it to bring out the best in the child. We should also be able to recognise the hidden talent of the learners and nurture them , help them realise their talent and value them.
ReplyDeleteBeing a teacher, we should find the strength and weaknesses of the students.We must remove theirs weaknesses but also groom their strength , so that they may enjoy their studies and ensure future to make their life worth living.
ReplyDeleteFor addressing diversity in classroom, we should apply Universal Design for Learning to meet the needs of each learners in a classroom including those with special needs. As a teacher, we should be sensitive and identify difference in learner and appreciate them according to their knowledge, skills and capabilities. We should avoid comparing the students.
ReplyDeleteAnimal school fable very clearly pointed towards the error while guiding students if we do not recognise their individual talent and ability. While in certian situation we can bring out the hidden traits or talent in our children and nurture it untill it reach to the perfection. Only in such a way all the individual talents together will bring the highest good in the society.
ReplyDeleteA classrooms is the place of unity in diversity.
ReplyDeleteStudents from different backgrounds .
A teacher must provide good facilities around the arena .
Emotional quotient of one's mind should be analysed.
Every student has, her strong points inherent in them. In teaching we should not overlook but to give attention according to need of all children.
ReplyDeleteDiversity of students in school and in a class is obvious in terms of their learning capacity, social background, culture, religion, financial and educational status of their family, etc and the teacher has to deal every students without biasness.
ReplyDeleteFollowing are few problems faces dealing with diversity in a classroom:
1. As a teacher, faces many problems to handle the slow learner students, since they express less interest to study.
2. Creating learning experiences according to their abilities is difficult due to shortage of time infact we need to complete the syllabus at same time.
3. Providing learning experience according to their need and capacity seems impossible due to lack of infrastructure and other facilities.
We have to appreciate diversity & make the children to understand the fact that each one is great in his own place.
ReplyDeleteTeachers should keep a Keen eye on Students interest, and capability in respective fields and support them, appreciate them when required. We should not forget that a class may have a heterogeneous Learner which also need a heterogenoues way of teaching.
ReplyDeleteThe action point emerge from animal school fable is, a school should include curriculum that cover the needs of all learners. Apart from this teacher should avoid comparison in the class, as every individual are not alike. But this doesn't mean avoiding assessment of the students
ReplyDeleteEvery student have their own capabilities of learning, hence as a teacher we must recognize them for easy learning.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason for the difference are different cultural,social and economic backgrounds, different past experiences, age and mental make-ups.
ReplyDeleteFor addressing diversity in the classroom, we should identify the weakness and strength of the learner, accept socio-cultural physical variations and ensure participation of learner.
ReplyDeleteThe teaching learning process must be Child centric ,There is diversity in students capacity to learn and we as a facilator we have to teach according to individual learners stretegity ,as for example we can say that "Five Finger are different '' so we have to Teach according to individual learners Ability and allow them what ever they want to do or arise question in the class.we the Teacher must maintain Open minded environment in the class ,In accordingly response to Animal School Fable.
ReplyDeleteTeaching learning process must be child centric,There is diversity is to teaching process has to learn and we as a facilitator we hv to teach them individually.
ReplyDeleteAs per the story , the teacher must know the student capability, interest, socio-economic condition of the student. We have to find out the students weakness and try to teach them as per its learning ability. We have to make the students understand that all subjects are important and it will be beneficial for them. We have to create interest for our subjects which we are teaching. Lastly curriculum should be flexible as per the needs of the society.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the animal School fable, every child is different having his or her own individual capacity and interest. Being a teacher ,we need to understand the correct way and use different teaching methods to make them learn.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher we should be serious in finding out the different qualities of different students and try to teach them accordingly. Everyone has his own field of interest and can excel in that. We must find out what the student need and help him learn.
ReplyDeleteWe should teach the students according to their learning needs and capabilities. Every child is different and hence we should adopt different teaching learning methods for different learning categories of children.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher I should adopt different teaching learning methods in my classroom as all the students have there own strength and weakness..i should focus on their strength s and ensure that their weakness doesn't overcome their strength
ReplyDeleteWe teacher must teach students as per syllabus from nearest example to make them better understand the contents.secondly we must ask questions to students as per their capabilities.
ReplyDeleteA classroom is a diverse group of students.every student is different in some or the other way.So,as a teacher I should recognise every ones capabilities and potential and weaknesses aswell.we should encourage every student in what they are weak at and groom at what they are less able.n
ReplyDeleteThe diversity in the class room may be defined as understanding each student brings unique experience, strengths and ideas to class room.
ReplyDeleteIf we ignore the issue of diversity in the class room and choose to not promote diversity in our school,we are not doing Justice with our job.
