Q.No.2 Describe importance of attendance register. Suggest precautions for the maintenance of attendance register
Attendance Register is a tool to record the regularity of a student, teacher, employee on a day to day basis. It is used for payroll/salary purposes except for students.
It consists of records of payroll heads used to calculate the salary like the present, absent, late comings, holidays, on-job training and other kinds of applicable leaves.
Teachers, Office Admins, and SME business owners need to keep records of employee’s attendance in detail.
Previously, the attendance registers were physically maintained on paper sheets or books. Slowly and gradually, with the increase in the usage of computers, people started maintaining records on the computer.
Furthermore, with the advancement of technology, we can now see the fingerprint machines at many companies. These advanced systems are comparatively expensive and everyone cannot afford it.
In India there about 40%-50% of small and medium-sized companies/institutions that still maintain their record on excel.
Types of Attendance Register
There are basically 3 types of attendance registers:
1. Employee Attendance Registers
2. Student Attendance Registers
3. Timesheet Attendance Registers
Let us have a brief understanding of all 3 types.
Q.No.3 Why are personal files of teachers and other staff kept secured? What are principles of maintaining records?
Our education system needs data to improve outcomes for students. Educators use data to inform instruction, empower parents and communities, and help policymakers make decisions and target resources. The question is, how do we ensure that teachers have the knowledge to make key data privacy decisions and follow best security practices?
For some educators, talking about data privacy and security can be overwhelming. To help teachers feel comfortable with this topic, a first step is to ensure they understand the difference between privacy, confidentiality, and security. Most teachers are responsible for maintaining each of these components:
When considering privacy, teachers should remember that all student personal information belongs to the student and therefore should be kept private. This information includes things like assessment results, grades, and demographic information. Teachers can ensure students’ privacy by empowering them to share only the information they want and helping them understand how sharing their personal information can impact them. Confidentiality comes into play when private data is shared. Students trust their teachers to keep their data confidential and share it carefully. Teachers are responsible for holding every student’s data in confidence and sharing it only with necessary parties such as parents, other teachers, and administrators. Finally, teachers can keep student data both private and confidential by establishing clear security practices in their classrooms. They may consider things such as how and where they share student data and how this data is accessed.
Q.No.4 Describe objectives of classroom management. Suggest techniques of classroom management.
For beginning teachers, or for teachers like myself returning to teaching, the most difficult thing to master is classroom management. I had to relearn what ten years of hard instruction had taught me: Good classroom management is more than just being strict or authoritarian, and it is more than simply being organized. If I want to have my classroom run smoothly as a well-oiled learning machine, I have to set up a structured learning environment in which certain behaviors are promoted and others are discouraged.
I have discovered that there are five components of effective classroom management that establish structures strong enough to entice and motivate student learning:
