If you're all set to go back to your school after a gap of many months but have disorienting thoughts in your mind, this book by Dr. Dheeraj Mehrotra can become your go-to solution.
Dr. Mehrotra is a veteran in the education sector with over 30 years of experience. He's a National Teacher's Award recipient with about 45 published books. The kinds of books he usually writes are to support educators and schools in day to day functioning.
This particular book makes the reader aware of the facts that might come handy while trying to get the institution back on its functioning track. This includes the administration's job, upping the standards of safety and security, and keeping the protocol from the pre-COVID times intact. It shows the pathway to schools for governing their management along with the help of students with ease and comfort and as much normalcy as possible. The writer's ideas also help the school understand a parent's point of view, who's concerned about his/her ward's safety in the premises right now.
“My book provides a set of instruction and strategies which could allow the school administration to manage better while we're still in the middle of a pandemic," says Dr. Mehrotra. Apart from the management's role, his strategies also suggest new ways to school leaders and teachers on teaching effectively while trying to build their connection with the students all over again.
“It is a ready reckoner for the school management post-COVID wherein there is a lot of confusion prevailing among the educators as well, tells Dr. Mehrotra to ScooNews.
At the first glance, it provides precaution that a school may need to take and gives strategical choices to manage the students effectively in the premises, run safe classrooms and impart adequate safety measures among all the participants. All this while keeping the guidelines issued by the government, UNICEF & United Nations in accord. In fact, his strategies are written keeping the global educational scenario in view.
“Most importantly, the book focuses on what kind of precautions are practically possible and not some inconceivable ideas that prove to be a lot of talks and no work,” he signs off.
The book is available on Amazon.in.
