Chas (Jharkhand): Taking an innovative initiative, DPS Chas in Bokaro District on July 31, 2020, organised a Parent Teacher Meeting also involving the students of Classes Nursery to X through virtual platform. The parents of classes Nursery to V had the meeting on the Google meet through links provided to them and classes VI to X attended it through Google Classroom. The parents were shared in advance the instructions on how to connect via virtual platform.
A Power point presentation was shared with all the parents showcasing the activities of the school of this session in this pandemic time. The presentation also included creative worksheets on integrated curriculum and art integration for assessments. These worksheets are planned to develop 21st century skills like creative and critical thinking to name a few. The teachers shared the academic progress of the students assessed through various modes of interactions with students and projects prepared by students.
Dr. Hemlalta S Mohan, Chief Mentor, DPS Chas, in her message, said “A noteworthy collaboration of parents and teachers is crucial for bringing growth in the child. Together they initiate the betterment of the child, encouraging potentials, giving them wings to traverse the heights, achieving success.”
Officiating Principal, DPS Chas, P Shailaja Jayakumar, said, “Behind every confident child is a parent and a teacher who ‘believes’ in the worth and uniqueness of the child. Their mutual support facilitates the growth of the children in a secure environment.” At this stage where meeting is virtual, the role of parents as well as the teachers get defined with a new dimension and it takes creativity, skill, and vigilance to check that the right knowledge is being imparted to the children.
“The child’s performance is the responsibility of both the parents and teachers. It is important to remember that the child’s upbringing always combines a classroom and his/her home specially in the Covid era. The PTM was highly interactive as parents developed a rapport with the teachers and shared their observations through a Google feedback form,” she added.
Parents were enthusiastic and appreciative about the PTM and were thankful for all the efforts made by the school in facilitating the virtual connect between the teachers, students, and parents.
