The experience of conducting an event can be very much overwhelming looking at the scale and magnitude of expectations with oneself Vs the outcome of the event. My favorite part of the events would be the skills I personally polished as a professional to adapt to different styles of work depending on the individual, one had to partner and the efficacy I developed in communicating with varied stakeholders involved in the event. If I had to talk about the professional achievements there are many to quote. It wouldn’t be fair to not express the insight I have managed to achieve about the varied themes discussed during the Symposium. We were able to meet most of our goals like connecting with other educators all across the globe, sharing insights and communicating best practices, understanding the importance of access to a space to discuss trends and focus areas in the field of education. No work is ever perfect therefore we too have areas to improve on and the list is definitely long this includes managing time and focus on deadlines in line with SOW (Statement of work). Start risk assessment at a very early stage to avoid pitfalls.

The aim of using resources has to be maximized to avoid wastefulness of resources.
This brings back the focus on human resource and financial resource. As a reflection to what was done while working on the project human resource and financial resources had to be chalked out at a very early stage of project initiation as this could have allowed more efficient use of resources. The area of improvement would be work on team building to be able to focus on achieving a shared goal will be something we need to ponder on.

There is no better learning than learning by doing I personally got to learn personally and professionally. We will have to work on effectively following the five steps involved in creating a communication and promotion plan are: (1) establishing goals; (2) defining key audiences; (3) identifying key messages; (4) creating a tactical outreach plan; and (5) specifying a timeline for moving forward. It is very important to keep these factors in mind and revisit them periodically as a team till the event is executed.
Conclusion : As a teacher education Institute Rahul College of education is involving itself as an organization keen in evolving and understanding of how best to teach in 21st Century, including the NEP 2020, represents a significant transition in the way education is currently taught in most classrooms and will require most teachers to alter the way they teach. The available evidence suggests that many teachers have not had sufficiently rich experiences with the content relevant to the courses they currently teach, let alone a substantially redesigned curriculum. Very few teachers have experience with the practices described in the NEP 2020.
Typically, the selection of and participation in professional learning opportunities is up to individual teachers. There is often little attention to developing collective capacity for teaching at the building and district levels or to offering teachers learning opportunities tailored to their specific needs and offered in ways that support cumulative learning over time.
Teachers’ learning needs are shaped by their preparation, the grades and content areas they teach, and the contexts in which they work. Three important areas in which teachers need to develop expertise is the knowledge, capacity, and skill required to support a diverse range of students; content knowledge, including understanding of disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and scientific practices; and pedagogical content knowledge for teaching, including a repertoire of teaching practices that support students in rigorous and consequential learning. Konnekt 2k22 was an effort in this direction of understanding the importance of significant transition in education.
