[2]Teacher's Bite [Mar13_image1.jpg] Mr. Kailash Pawar Principal, Presidency School, Mangalore "Teacher training is the most important, albeit most neglected aspect of modern day schooling in India. It is of vital significance as the role of the teacher is fast changing - from the sole source of knowledge, he has become just one more source of knowledge." "Proper training can establish a teacher as a vital link between the vast knowledge that is available to students and its processing. By redefining our role as mentors and facilitators, we can save our breed from becoming irrelevant. Besides, smart students love smart teachers and training alone can give us this edge." [3]Exam Stress Stress affects us all in different ways and at different times. Not all stress is bad. It can often heighten our performance as it makes us more aware of our surroundings and gives us a sparkle! Just think about the actress waiting to go on stage. What may be good stress for someone may be a problem for another. Our ability to cope with stress is affected by the number of problems/issues we are trying to deal with at one time and the support systems we have in place. [4]The Power of Doodling Have you ever felt embarrassed when you were caught doodling in a meeting? Have you felt a twinge of guilt that perhaps others perceived you as not paying attention? Well relax, not only are you in good company but one could argue that you are exercising the creative side of your brain and in fact are retaining more information than your daydreaming counterparts! [5]Events [6]The World of Books [7][Mar13_image6.jpg] What exactly is the world of books? To everyone's delight, these are our sources of entertainment. Some irritate book-loving people by calling them 'bookworms'. They are ofcourse, unaware of the pride we book-lovers have when we are called so. I have no hesitation in admitting that I am a bookworm too.
