*Classroom Culture - Hannah Vipunam*
Every classroom has its own culture. Classroom culture involves a creative environment where students feel safe and free to involve. The classroom is the space where both teachers and children should feel comfortable; especially, teachers should comfort students to improve their learning. A classroom culture in the 21st century mainly in language classes; it shows the advancement of teaching culture and language through the theoretical construct. This promotes students' engagement in the class, which can help overcome students' past experiences in terms of stereotypes and lack of intercultural awareness. The school children's ability to nurture knowledge depends on the skills acquired with teachers and environment conditions. Even with twins differing in their abilities, it is impossible to predict what rate a child will learn because children enter school with a wide range of abilities and possibilities. However, the assumption that all children can learn at the same pace is incorrect. Here, the learning is meant for academic purposes and their untaught knowledge in terms of cognitive and physical development because these are the most profound learning of all linguistic abilities.
Values of life by Bimla, value are the positive teaching provided to help us and tread the right path in life. Every parent wants his child to imbibe these. These can even be referred to us good qualities. A person who imbibes goods values grows on to become a responsible individual and he or she is capable of demarcating right and wrong. Also, he or she is able to make wiser decision in life.
Positive Adhyaapak -Alumno relationship.By Angeline Thomas
Positive teacher-student connections, advance a feeling of school having a place and urge students to take an interest. Students build up the certainty to analyze and prevail in a situation where they are not confined by the dread of disappointment. Teachers can help students with inspiration and goal setting, and students can go to them for guidance and direction.Positive relationships, not only need to be looked at from a peer to peer perspective but a teacher to student perspective, students should be able to know that they can have a positive relationship with their teachers and that the role of a teacher isn't just of a person who will impart subject knowledge to them but of one who will provide guidance and counseling and definitely someone who they can turn to like they would to a friend.Positive relationships of students and teachers must be given more importance as the roots of learning, growing and uplifting never end. They often expand and become more inclusive as time goes by and enhances positive developments on both sides if this relationship.

A positive attitude awakens happiness. We don’t have to be rich or achieve goals to be happy. It is matter of attitude, when we adopt a positive frame of mind and we become happy therefore never give up in life, whether we failed. Our life should keeps move forward. Never upset, we always have a second chance to live with happy life. so a positive frame of mind increases our motivation to succeed and get what we want. It will make our believe and will get what we want. It also motivate to achieve more than our expected so be positive always

Classical conditioning Theory of learning:by Vipanchee Gogoi
Classical conditioning theory says that mental state such as feelings,thoughts, emotions do not explain the human behaviour, it is the environment shaping the behavior of an individual.
In the class teachers can apply classical conditioning by creating a positive environment to help students overcome anxiety or fear. Pairing an anxiety-provoking situation, such as performing in front of a group, with pleasant surroundings helps the student learn new associations. Instead of feeling anxious and tense in these situations, the child will learn to stay relaxed and calm.

Constructive Learning by Suchaita Saha
Constructive learning is a progressive way of learning which is more effective because the learner learns from their experience, an attempt is made to make learning connected with real-life situation, the learner constructs the meaning of their experience and then act in a meaningful way to bring about changes in the world.
Constructive learning provides the students with opportunities where they not only gain information in the classroom but become capable of comprehending that information, relate it with real experience and apply that knowledge outside the classroom. It presents the students with problem based tasks where the prior skills and knowledge of students are activated, new ones are acquired and their creativity, critical thinking and rational thinking skills are stimulated. It discourages rote learning and encourages original contribution of the students where students work individually as well as in groups and create something new. Constructive learning demands the students to do independent research which makes them accountable for their own learning process. Independent learning is a key for active engagement of the students in the teaching learning process where a love for learning is instilled in them. They learn to integrate their learning into their daily lives thus making their way of livinng more efficient.
*Positive Mindset by Wilson Saldanha*_
Teaching is a profession that requires the practitioners to be open minded and ready to change their mindsets. The teachers need to have an attitude towards students that they can learn new things. In a fixed mindset, most teachers believe that learners’ intelligence and qualities are unchangeable. In stark contrast to it is the growth mindset: belief that one’s abilities, qualities, and intelligence can be developed.
In order to achieve positive mindset, a teacher should inherit these skills: a constant thirst for knowledge, experimentation and innovation, asking questions, flexibility, learning technology, a listening attitude, and a reflective personality.
It is very important that we as educators do not get stagnant and stuck in our practice. Just as we teach our students to continuously improve, grow, learn, and change, so must we as educators. Therefore, let us develop a positive mindset as teachers, a mindset that takes us closer to our students.
*Professional development of a physics Teacher* by Sruthi.k
Teachers need to develop their skills and knowledge continually through professional development. To perform well in the profession and to maintain excellence, professional development is irrefutable. In an educational scenario, teachers are facing a lot of challenges like advances in technology, updating content, increasing the learning needs of the students’ .etc. According to the changing standards, teachers can mold themselves through professional development. For physics teachers, it is much more challenging since the students have to master complex knowledge, reasoning process, and skills to achieve scientific literacy.
Professional development of teachers is happening in different ways: it can be with a formal atmosphere through conferences, seminars, courses, or workshops. There are a lot of informal opportunities also for the professional development of a teacher, like independent research, investigation, feedback from the students, and even by the discussions with colleagues in the staff room.
