Skill building
Skill building is the next thing in line to get Respect. We have already seen the importance of giving great Result and Experience in recent posts.
Philosophy - theoretical science - technology is a chain for development in technology. Only where there is effort on developing sciences, there is an outcome of enhanced technologies. Technology is a specific application of a scientific principle.
In parallel, target - method - skill can be seen. Skill is a medium to execute anything effectively. There are many interrelated skill sets which add up to make a Project. That, essentially, is the reason software development companies have very large number of employees whom they often make Parters in progress through shares.
Your bargaining power in an organisation is a function of how many irreplaceable skills you have. To give a parallel, with respect to all professional and works, if your maid doing mopping, cleaning etc demands a raise from 1500 to 2500 just now. You would rather replace her with someone younger, more needy and train her. But if one of your key employees insists of a SAP training to further Company works, you would not think twice, even though you risk losing her.
2012-14 I was country head Teacher Academy at www.aisect.org where we raised the Academy under AISECT - NSDC tie up. NSDC www.nsdcindia.org has identified skill gap in most skill areas. Going through that site can give you great insight into the scope of work for you too.
On a bigger canvas, let us efforts under Skill India initiative

Free in demand skill training The Google initiative to develop large number of skilled digital people has been explained by my friend Abhimanyu Bhardwaj
The craze, demand for skill building can be seen from the video shared below. Just see the very ordinary content, presented in simple way has got over 65 lakh or 6.5 million views
Coming to implications for the teachers. As a teacher, you divide your content into skills. Get the students exposed to them and master them. To illustrate, in solving questions of profit, loss, identifying the cost price, selling price, whether taking their difference, reaching answer if profit or loss these are concepts in the beginning, but with clarity they become skills to identify, find difference…..In bio sciences, geography, drawing skills are basic. Listening, reading, vocabulary skills in languages.
So,the more you will get skilled and make others skilled, the more you will feel empowered and in turn, empower your students.
