SHARING AN INSPIRING AND EVENTFUL JOURNEY OF MS. BHAVNA CHIBBER - A PASSIONATE EDUCATIONIST, AN EDULEADER AND VICE - PRINCIPAL OF GURUGRAM GLOBAL HEIGHTS SCHOOL, GURUGRAM.





Introduction

Dr. Bhavna Chibber is a passionate educator, trainer and mentor with nearly 23 years of rich and diversified experience in the areas of teaching senior classes, school administration, content development, and team facilitation and development. Her professional journey began in 1997 as a Computer Teacher (TGT) in Kendriya Vidyalaya. She is widely acknowledged for her motivational style of speaking derived from years of experience. She strictly follows result-oriented professionalism. Starting her career as a Trained Graduate teacher and today serving as a Vice Principal at Gurugram Global Heights School ,is a journey with endless stories.


An excellent communicator, meticulous organizer and enthusiastic team leader, she has left no stone unturned in her endeavours to ensure that each and

every child under her aegis is provided a platform to blossom to the fullest and spread his or her fragrance all around. Continuous enlightenment among today's learners/facilitators, their training, and providing them a better path is her mission and vision.


Coming from the Defence fraternity, she had a disciplined upbringing and also an excellent exposure to various social and cultural activities. Dr Bhavna is closely associated with CBSE, NCERT and Oxford University Press as a resource person and provides training to educators. She is of the view that an educated person can change the world, as he/she is brimming with confidence and assured of making the right moves.


Educator’s perspective:


One should always believe that-

Tough times uplift you and you ultimately find yourself. She was also caught up by many tough phases in her life. Even then she never lost hope and never gave up on her efforts. Being a responsible mother and teacher, she always directs the path of her children and students towards the ray that always enlightens them, motivates them, and educates them.


Being a Google and Microsoft Certified Educator, and Cyber Security Expert, she authored a book named "Cyber peril" on cyber security for classes IV to X. Apart from this, she has written books on cyber security and app development and is currently working with different renowned publishers.



Role of society in one’s upbringing:

Human being is a social animal and society plays a major role in one’s upbringing. So, to contribute to the development of society, she is working with CIET and NCERT for designing a child-centric ICT curriculum which would provide them more opportunities of career growth in future.

Being an ICT teacher, she has easily handled shifts from offline to online classes and trained around 1000 teachers from other schools during different training programs conducted by CIET, NCERT, IISR, and many more institutions.


Views on NEP-2020 and its implementation:

As Brian Herbert, the great philosopher rightly said:

“The capacity to learn is a gift, the ability to learn is a skill and the willingness to learn is a choice.”

She is implementing NEP in the curriculum by adding many integrated programs. The following points will be worth mentioning here:

1. NEP states to implement STEM education in the curriculum. She has implemented this through assigning projects based on all 4 areas i.e. science, technology, engineering, and maths where students coordinated with different departments to initiate the process and explored and finally gave the output that was a project in Tinkercad.

2. NEP states to implement art-integrated and physical education integrated activities to include making learners better understand the concept. She always focuses on the integration of art and physical education in all subjects.

3. NEP states teacher education and training are the resource persons for their learners and plays the role of facilitators. She always follows a visionary approach in terms of teacher education by updating the staff about the Diksha platform for regularly updated courses.

4. She follows a multidisciplinary and holistic approach for students and teachers.







Perspective on the necessity of quality education:

The children of today are gearing up to become adult citizens of tomorrow. The growth is parallel to the future of our country, reflected through the quality of the present education system. An educator’s role becomes crucial here. It has become the need of the hour to stimulate curiosity in the young, impressionable minds and equip them with tools to be better human beings. It is widely accepted that the learning process is instrumental in shaping one’s personality and the way he/she deals with situations of life. The shift of thoughts from bookish knowledge to knowledge of life, in schools, has brought forth a sea of change. People have warmed up to the idea of education being the key to a well-rounded development instead of just a mean to acquire degrees and monetary success in life. Education must facilitate the cultivation of a healthy thought process and groom the child’s cognitive abilities. In the present competitive world, education is a basic necessity for human beings after food, clothes and shelter.

Source of knowledge and inspiration:

Dr. Bhavna considers herself to be a life- long learner and for that she strives to attain knowledge from all possible means. She doesn’t hesitate to admit that everyone teaches her in some way or the other. From some she seeks to learn and from the others she attracts the leaning subconsciously. But she consciously learns by observing others and to all these people she is gratified.


Message to the readers:


Leaders don't have to be born with charisma but are built by the actions that inspire others. In order to grow as a valiant individual, she advises five mantra of life:

· Be conscious about yourself - It’s important to embrace your own values.

· Zero expectations – Don’t expect anything from others.

· Be communicative – don’t fear to be expressive and find a leader within yourself.

· To take every obstacle as an opportunity to learn.

· Be aware of what is going on in your life as well.


Few lines near to her heart-

A rock is so hard, still lapidarist shapes it.

You desire, you explore,

Your hard work surely makes it.


Conclusion:


In her words:


Life is unpredictable, so live it to the fullest.

You never know what will happen next,

Wake up and thank God for your inner strength, health, and safety.
