Story on Padma Priya Vummaji Teacher : గణితం ఈ మాట చెబితే చాలు ఎక్కువ మంది విద్యార్థులు దిక్కులు చూస్తుంటారు. జీవితంలో ప్రతి క్షణం అవసరమయ్యే లెక్కలంటే మక్కువ చూపే వారు తక్కువే. కానీ పదో తరగతి వరకు ఇది తప్పని సబ్జెక్టే. జీవితం సాఫిగా సాగాలంటే నేర్చుకొని తీరాల్సిన పాఠమే. అంత ముఖ్యమైన గణితాన్ని సులభంగా బోధించటమే కాదు ప్రభుత్వ పాఠశాలల్లో డిజిటల్ తెరలు, ఆన్‌లైన్ పాఠాలను పరిచయం చేసి విద్యార్థులకు కొత్త తరహా బోధన చేసి మేటి గురువుగా నిలిస్తున్నారు పద్మప్రియ అనే గణిత శాస్త్ర ఉపాధ్యాయురాలు.

00:00Padmapriya Umaji likes Maths since childhood.
00:06Padmapriya, who solves the doubts in Maths, completed M.Sc. and B.Ed. in the same subject.
00:13He achieved 2nd rank in Usmania varsity style.
00:16He wrote D.Sc. in English medium and achieved 1st rank.
00:20He has been working as a teacher for 2.5 decades.
00:24Padmapriya strives to tell the calculations in a new way from the beginning.
00:28In the classroom, he teaches the students to solve the equations in a new way.
00:34He plays with the students.
00:36He teaches that there is a calculation in those games.
00:39In the ground, he draws X-axis and Y-axis and plays with the dice.
00:47According to the concept, children will remember it for the rest of their life.
00:52Padmapriya is a member of Government Nehru Memorial Party in Malakpet.
00:57We have seen some students lagging behind.
01:00We have seen that they are unable to do even basic Maths.
01:06So, what we do then is,
01:08Why are they unable to do what they have been studying for so many years?
01:11We do a small analysis.
01:13It may be due to family situation, health condition or any other reason.
01:19When a student comes to me, it is my duty to teach them.
01:26So, what should a student who has not studied for so many years do to learn?
01:32If we teach them in the way they like, they will definitely learn.
01:39So, with some small games, I tried to bring them towards Maths.
01:45Gradually, their interest towards Maths will increase.
01:52In 2016, Padmapriya participated in the US Teacher Excellence and Achievement Program.
01:58If 7 students from India are sent to America for this program,
02:02One of them is Padmapriya.
02:04In the 6-week program,
02:06They explained the methods of Maths there,
02:09And created a game for them to play.
02:11For the coding they learned,
02:13They made an animation,
02:15Designed new games,
02:17And used them to teach Maths to the students.
02:20By 2020,
02:22The students of Nehru Memorial School
02:24Have started learning Maths in an integrated way.
02:28When I went there in 2016,
02:30Teachers from different countries came there.
02:33I went from India.
02:35Teachers came from 80 countries.
02:39When I connected with those teachers,
02:41Not only did I get to know about their country,
02:47I also got to know about their social networking.
02:53We have Skype and Zoom sessions in the school.
02:57Teachers connect with the students through Zoom,
03:03And clarify their doubts.
03:06In this way,
03:08I got to interact with Henry Throop,
03:12Who works as an astronaut in NASA.
03:16By interacting with Henry Throop,
03:20They have increased their confidence.
03:24They know what to do to become an astronaut,
03:27What to study,
03:29What subjects to take,
03:31They have career guidance too.
03:34Generally,
03:35Many people think that
03:37Digital technology and modern education
03:39Are only suitable for private schools.
03:41But in government schools,
03:43Padmapriya has been teaching digital lessons
03:45With projectors for 10 years.
03:48In the IFP panel provided by the government,
03:53With the intention of reaching every school
03:56Through the Telangana LMS app,
04:00Teachers were given training through Zoom.
04:04They were given training on how to use these resources.
04:08In Telangana,
04:10Every school and every student
04:13Interacted with these resources,
04:16And got the opportunity to learn the concepts.
04:21This has just started.
04:23In the future,
04:25These resources will be very useful.
04:28I hope the children will benefit a lot.
04:31Bringing foreign teachers here,
04:33And making them teach,
04:35And completing new projects with them,
04:38These students are encouraged.
04:40In a completely new way,
04:42Padmapriya, who teaches mathematics to many people,
04:44The central government,
04:46In 2020,
04:47Was honored with the National Education Award.
04:49Not only that,
04:50Padmapriya is working for children's education.
04:53Talking to parents from time to time,
04:55They make sure that no one stops studying.
04:58Providing financial aid to poor students who need to study,
05:02They are standing as an example to everyone.
05:04The students are very interested in Padmapriya's teaching methods.
05:10The teacher's teaching methods are very friendly.
05:13The problems she teaches are very interesting.
05:17We have to learn more.
05:19We have to learn in detail.
05:21It is very difficult for all the children to calculate.
05:25But after Padmapriya,
05:27It has become very easy for me and my friends.
05:29The teacher explains very well.
05:31According to the children's mindset,
05:33The teacher explains very well.
05:35Now we have new digital boards.
05:37The teacher has prepared games in the form of games.
05:42According to the subject of the game,
05:45The teacher tells us very wonderfully.
05:47We are also interested in listening.
05:50At our age,
05:52We have more interest in games.
05:54So,
05:55Padmapriya teachers tell us through games.
05:59At that time,
06:01My score was very low.
06:04But now,
06:06Padmapriya teachers have created new games.
06:10She explains very well.
06:12So, we are very happy.
06:14Presently,
06:15The State Council of Education,
06:16Research and Training,
06:17And SCERT,
06:19Are working on a project.
06:21Padmapriya is involved in providing training on food
06:24To many students in a new way.
06:27Through this,
06:28The State Council of Education,
06:30Is working hard to provide
06:32Higher education.
