[DRAFT]

The meeting focused on exposure of their thinking process and ideology as teachers. In the meeting I
succeeded in convincing them to follow the following points:-
a. Treat the Principal as your big brother or mentor but not as an officer. Brother and Principal ratio

should be 60-40.

b. Teachers should look smart and work on how the students can look clean and smart.

c. Believe- Principal believes in supporting you in academic skills and developing your capacity.

d. You are the most important employees in this village and work for it.
e. Be on time and leave the school on time.

f. Talk to Principal freely about your problem if any.
g. The dearth of sufficient building is huge task which needs time to solve. Hence we have to work

in the available resources and bring out our best out of it.

h. I assured them that I was not leaving the school unless and until the task of getting a well
equipped school building.

2. Emphasis on ‗Display performance instead of groaning: Whenever I called staff meeting I
reminded the staff that they needed to display performance on their part and motivate the students to
do same.
3. Frequent contact and meeting with the SMDC members: Before my arrival and some days after
my joining the SMDC did not seem taking interest but my constant telephonic chat and personal visit
to their home an express my planning to rejuvenation of the school finely succeeded to draw them to
my school. They were educationally qualified and quickly understood my determination. Winning
their favors was very encouraging for me. The SMDC took the responsibility to work for the
infrastructural improvement.

4. Forming different core groups for different purposes: Though the teachers had some regular
charges under them but school was not making the community feel the throbbing of the school hence
I decided to form the following specific core groups of teachers to uplift the image of students,
teachers and the hole school:

i. Core group students ‗behavioural personality which included responsibility to improve the
dress code, etiquette, study habit of the students (3 teachers).
ii. Core group for continuous cultural and purely academic activities (3 teachers).
iii. Core group for removing fear. 2 teachers were assigned to motivate the students to express
their thoughts on the dais at assembly every day.
iv. Observation group 3 senior teachers were assigned to motivate and help the core group and
represent the success/ failure/ difficulty on the working process to the Principal.
v. Public relationship responsibility: The most senior teachers who were Principal in charge
were given the responsibility to strengthen Public relationship on behalf of the school.
