Nutan Mishra, a teacher from Amethi district of Uttar Pradesh believes in teaching her students through engaging videos, group activities and practice exercises.

Let’s hear about some of her experiences as a teacher of classes 1th - 8th.

What motivated you to become a teacher?

My father, who was a professor of Mathematics, went to one of my cousin's schools in a village. There he met students from remote areas who wanted to study but couldn’t. This incident motivated me to become a teacher. I started thinking about how I can help them. So, here I am as a Govt. School teacher of Science and Mathematics, a Vodafone-Idea Scholarship awardee and trying my best to contribute in making smart classrooms even in remote areas.

How were you introduced to Gurushala?

I was introduced to Gurushala by a mentor of the Jigyasa team. I participate in a lot of activities organized by the Gurushala team. I am one of the winners of the National Teacher Changemaker Competition 2.0. My most preferred sections of Gurushala are the Publish Your Content and Reward section. I even use the sections of live training, webinars, publishing content, competition and lesson plan.

How has Gurushala helped you in your journey as a teacher?

Gurushala has made me a smart teacher, enhancing my confidence, polishing my teaching techniques and helping me during the pandemic and of course it inspires me to teach everyday.

What is your life motto as a teacher?

I try to give 100% effort to my students not to educate them but also to make them a good person. I also believe that a 21st Century teacher is multi-talented and knows how to build a better future through her students.

Ms. Mishra is one of those teachers who believe that education should also reflect in society’s morals. Stay tuned to Gurushala to meet more such teachers from different parts of the country.
