Ms. Bijoy Hangmo Subba, Asst. Professor

Philosophy of teaching and learning:  

I am a passionate teacher educator, a strong believer of Plutarch. The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited (Plutarch).In line with Plutarch‘s claim, I place higher order skills such as critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving and communication at the fore front of my teaching strategies. Of late, use of technology has become my passion in teaching mathematics. I have found Geo-gebra software extremely useful to teach mathematics.

These skills are also known as 21st century skills which  are helpful   to prepare students to adapt and accommodate  in real life situation.
