A Teacher in 21st century

Teaching has never been as difficult as now, as important as now and as demanding for the success of students as now.
Today's teachers are supposed to not only deliver the core subjects' content to the students but also prepare them to be adaptable to emerging diverse faces of the society. 

As there have been exponential changes in the world, to prepare our students to withstand such changes our lessons must go beyond "3R's and foster 21st century skills. Critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity will be essential for students to take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
