Please welcome Mr. Raghavendra Ambore in this episode of ‘Pratibimba’ – By Teachers, For Teachers!
Mr. Ambore was first appointed in 1994 and teaches Social Sciences. He keeps the textbook away and teaches them in the form of stories. Children pay more attention to stories. And they are ready to answer objective questions.
He has a lab called ‘Jagruthi’ in which he uses maps and globes to show how to understand the landscape and directions. Children show more interest towards visual aids.
Mr. Ambore believes awareness leads to Science. He treats History also as a science as it also provides proof for its statements. Instead of teaching them boring details of dead kings, he tells them stories about their achievements. Mr. Ambore is often invited as a resource person on ‘Jagruthi’. He was trained for a couple of days on teaching Geography. That is what inspired him to start a lab that can make its teaching effective. He started with maps, went to the globe and then on to YouTube. One class room converted as a Geography library! Children started spending more time in there.
During the times of Covid, he created a WhatsApp group with the parents of students and taught them online.
He is actively involved in Scouts, which he believes brings discipline among children. He describes the salute with three fingers. Children understand the importance of wearing the uniform at an early age. Successful completion of scout exam can get an admission to NCC later. Children can go up to the National level and they may get easier admission into professional colleges.
In the annual cultural competitions, where he plays on the tabla with this group of singers, his team has crossed the district level and is now on the verge of competing at the State level. On a different platform, he secured the second prize for playing the tabla.
