>Good evening all,
I agree with Prof. Bholanath Dutta views. And I would like to add some points in this regard -
Characteristic of Innovative educator.
Reflective – As an educator, it is important to reflect on what is working and what is not.
Even though it can be a little uncomfortable, we have to admit when a great lesson was really a
flop. We must constantly examine our processes and our concepts to make sure they are what is
best for the students we teach.
Learners- An innovative educator is always learning, reading, listening. Every student, staff
member, professional development opportunity is viewed as an opportunity to get better and be
better in the classroom and in the education community at large. They create local and global
professional learning communities. They take responsibility and initiative for their learning.
Creative- When I say creative I don't mean in the sense of artistic even though some innovative
educators fall in this category. I mean creative in their thinking and approach. An
innovative educator is very uncomfortable with doing business as usual, especially when it
yields no result. So they go to work brainstorming ways to make things better. They may
change up a lesson to make it more engaging or increase student motivation. They may adopt a
more unconventional approach to handling challenging students so as to develop a stronger
rapport.
Connected- It's hard to be classified as innovative when you are disconnected from your
students and trends in the profession. How can you know what your students need and what will
be the best approach to use with them if you are not connected to them personally? Innovative
educators close the gap between the traditional images of teachers so he can determine what is
best for each student. In addition, because they are life-long learners, they are abreast of
changes occurring in their field and how to best apply these new changes to their instruction.
Collaborative- Education is one industry where sharing is necessary and vital to true
innovation in the classroom. When teachers work together to solve problems and share
successes, our students perform much better in the classroom. An innovative educator is
always exploring topics with other educators, sharing what they know with others. They are
members of Professional Learning Communities where they learn and share with others. They know
that none of us is as smart as all of us.
Inquisitive- How can I improve? What did I do wrong? When is the best time for this
approach? How should I adapt this for my struggling readers? What can I do to extend this
lesson for my gifted students? What if I did it this way? Innovative educators are always
asking questions. After all, it's not about having all the answers; it's about asking the
right questions.
Principled- Innovative educators live life according to strong values. They want to make a
difference. They believe that being an educator is a great way to make their mark in the world
and they don't take it for granted. They believe in being a role model to the students they
serve and look for opportunities to show they care by their actions not just with words. They
also care enough to make tough decisions even when it's not popular and accepted. They stand
up for their beliefs.

I strongly believe there is a huge scope of innovations in teaching – learning and it would
continue to evolve as we move forward not because of IT intervention , access of information,
and other micro and macro environmental factors but because the learning abilities of the
students differ and as a teacher we need to address them in a be-fitting manner which help
evolve many new processes. These processes can be standardized later for mass teaching…………..Let
us share our innovative teaching experience in the context.
