Mathematics and Life 38 Setting Vision and Mission

Becoming better teacher 1

Setting Vision and Mission

In the article series, we will  see my own transformation journey of becoming a thought leader from being a primary school maths teacher. I will also be introducing other professional friends or internationally known works to inspire us all.

I will strive to keep entire discussion practical working based and I invite the readers to try these ideas for their professional growth and development.

The first and foremost thing is to know where you want to reach ? Vision and Mission statements help you a lot in that. Remember that if you do not stand for something, you fall for anything and everything. For example, if you are known to be available to all, at their will, you will never become anything significant. On the other hand, if all know you are busy, they talk accordingly. 

Setting Vision and Mission will do the magic

Vision statement this statement shows where you want to reach ?

Mission statement this statement tells you how will you do that ? 


There are n number of resources available on the net, I found this video rather short and yet covering key aspects

In line with these you may as well decide

Strategic Goals (Say to be achieved by the end of next 15 - 20 years. Like being a Ph. D., Having own school, channel, big coaching etc, earning 1 Cr per year)

Long term goals (10 years)  to be part of strategic plan

Short term goals (3 to 5 years) leading to long term goals

Targets for each year, month, day in line with short term goals.


I can, for sure, help you develop these for your specific requirements. Book a no obligation or free consultation appointment 7489447223 (only messages please)

Mathematics and Life 2 About me - Early Childhood to formating years

  Overview  Past   36 years I have been a maths classroom teacher by choice.  Childhood and family Born in a Maharashtrian Bramhin family in 1960, with father being a medical doctor, childhood was very blissfully ignorant of the ground realities of the world. Being a government doctor with zero PR activities, I continue the trend, transfer or long posting in tribal areas was a norm. We spent 6 years in Bastar district in early 1970s. One of the most interesting things to recall is we three brothers often used to sit and talk a lot in Hindi. In the presence of parents, we three used to interchangeably toggle Hindi - Marathi. Hindi with brothers, Marathi with parents. In 8th standard, the elder brother school fee was a whopping 30 paise per month, my huge fee was 15 paise per month and the third had to pay nothing in the Government Multi purpose school Bastar. Moving to Indore To reduce the stressful impact of transfers on our studies, in 1976 myself and elder bro...

Mathematics and Life 4 Mathematics as just a computational tool

  The importance of definition  I would like to discuss how the policy makers', parent body, school administrators, investors', teachers' perception of what is it to be good at maths ? affects the students and ultimately the workforce, industry, economy in general. 1. Mathematics as a computational tool    This is the current, popular perception of knowing maths. Our classroom teachings, examination system, wide spread tutoring, coaching business all tend to develop, appreciate, the skill of reaching one unique answer as fast as possible. The Abacus or its various versions, as a training tool are classic examples of this. Students are expected to be too good at a skill in past 61 years of life I have not needed. I ask the readers, how often, if at all, you needed to find 5813 x 3876 infraction of a minute and that too accurately ? I bet never. But, just as a ritual, under peer pressure children go year after year to learn something which is first of all not needed at...
