December, 2014 (Junior Wing) : Issues no : 1
Hi ! I am Gagandeep Kaur. I am
heading Junior wing in Khaitan Public School, Sahibabad.
I believe that “The best teachers
are those who show where to look,
but don‟t tell you what to see.”
I am a passionate and hardworking
person, love to be with pre - primary
children. I have completed my
B.Com from Delhi University,
Bachelor’s in Teaching and School
Management from Knowledge Tree
Academy Mother’s Pride; B.Ed from
MDU in 2013-14; currently I am
pursuing Diploma in Montessori
Method of Education from Modern
Montessori International (London).
I have an experience of 7 yrs with
Mother’s Pride school (Anand Vihar) where I started my journey as a
teacher in 2006. At Mother’s Pride, I
explored how vast, teaching pre primary can be and was promoted as
an Academic Head (Vivek Vihar). I
further started trainings in different
branches of Mother’s Pride regarding Curriculum, execution of activities, Parent handling, Time management, Classroom management etc.
and finally was promoted as Branch
Head (Sahibabad Branch).
Since, I have completed 14 months in
Khaitan
Public
School, my each
day is a day of
learning, full of
experiences under
the constant guidance
of
Mr.
Anirudh Khaitan
(Vice Chairman)
and Ms. Geeta
Varshneya

level. I am working towards
the execution of the curriculum in an innovative way.
Grooming the facilitators of
my department where they can
make classrooms livelier, and
stress on each activity to be
conducted in play way method
is given top priority. I am updating myself constantly with
the changes in the curriculum
and developments in best
practices. I along with my
facilitators strive to provide a
safe and stimulating environment that facilitates learning.
We as pre-primary facilitators help to nurture and develop the knowledge, abilities
and social skills of children between the
