==== Suggestions to the teachers by the CRP's ====
One of the CRP in attendance shared her insights and experiences about what she has seen during school visits in various schools and asked the teachers to consider the following:
* Treat all children equally, without any discrimination, and show respect for each and every one of them.
* Keep in mind that every child is unique and do not judge the child based on their participation.
* Assign work that requires the child to think independently because they do think better than what we think.
* Give the kids an opportunity to talk and listen to what they're trying to say or ask any questions, doubts, or clarifications, and support the kids with what they're looking to learn. This will help the kids form a solid rapport with the teacher and gradually get them interested in the subject. It might have an impact on the child's growth and learning.
* Constantly praise and encourage the child, whether they are right or wrong; offer them to speak up because this encourages the learner too.
* Avoid calling or tagging the child by his nicknames because doing so can cause him to develop a bad attitude towards teacher and his subject.
* Instead of using the chalk-and-talk method, utilise various techniques/strategies that helps in the child's learning and comprehension.
