Jyoti Sharma

Jyoti has been working in Shikshantar for the past six years. She has always been with young kids and helping them in their understanding of various subjects haa been her passion. She was always fascinated by her teachers and aspired to be like them. Shikshantar provides her the platform to fulfil her dream.
She believes that a teacher is instrumental in a child’s overall development, is a person who helps a child in identifying and devising his/her own methods of acquiring knowledge. With each passing year Shikshantar has strengthened her belief and she has become more intuitive towards understanding the needs of children. Having worked with children of different age groups, understanding their needs has made her observations more acute. Working with children with special needs has made her caring and empathetic. Reading books, singing songs and narrating stories of different genres to children and building their imagination give her a sense of satisfaction.

Indu’s involvement with Shikshantar has been a long one. During her college days, she was a member of the National Service Scheme. After college hours, working everyday with children of primary school developed her interest for teaching. Slowly and steadily, she realized the important role of a teacher in nurturing the intellectual and social development of children. Teaching and learning with students gives her an immense pleasure, knowledge, wisdom and a feeling of contentment.
She believes that education is helping children to discover and explore the world around them. She acknowledges that each child is unique and has personal learning abilities, which she takes into consideration most of the times. She believes that love, patience, trust and guidance from a teacher helps children reach their fullest potential. She uses her creativity in providing imaginative and motivating learning opportunities for children. She help her divergent learners to organize their thoughts and acquire skills and knowledge, learning meaningful methods and strategies to enhance the learning environment for children.

Reena Jamwal

Completed her schooling from St. Xaviers and got enrolled in B.El.Ed in Jesus & Mary College, made a huge difference to her life. She came to understand the difference between merely wanting to be a teacher and what it actually takes to be a facilitator, One who doesn’t teach but facilitates the learning process and also learns along with children.
And Shikshantar has further given her a very deep conviction that each child is special and learns according to his/her own pace, which needs to be respected by all. Here, whether it is choice time, circle time or project time, she has learnt to value & nurture each different and special self with love, trust and respect. She enjoys the process of sharing, discovering, constructing and reconstructing her knowledge with children each moment.
