Award Winner Interview
Category: Dynamic School Awards
Ms. Shravanti, Academic Director at Brigade Public School, highlighted the importance of recognising individual strengths and promoting holistic development during her interaction at the South India Educators’ Summit & Dynamic School Awards 2026. Reflecting on receiving the EducationNewsNetwork Award, she described the recognition as a proud moment for the entire school community, acknowledging the collective efforts of teachers, coordinators, principals, vice-principals and management.
Sharing her advice for fellow educators, Ms. Shravanti emphasised that schools should not impose identical expectations on every student. Children possess different abilities, whether in academics, music, art, gardening or other areas of interest. She urged schools to identify these strengths and work closely with parents to help each learner achieve their potential.
“Every child is unique. Do not expect similar kinds of expectations from every child.”
Her message reinforces the need for a learner-centred approach that values diverse talents alongside academic achievement. By recognising individual abilities and partnering with parents, schools can create more inclusive learning environments that support students’ overall development and help them flourish in their areas of strength.
Ms. Shravanti is an education professional who emphasises recognising every child’s individuality and supporting development beyond academic achievement.
Every child has different interests, abilities, learning styles, strengths, and developmental needs. Recognising these differences helps educators provide meaningful learning experiences.
Education should nurture creativity, communication, emotional intelligence, confidence, critical thinking, and practical life skills alongside academic knowledge.
Teachers can use differentiated instruction, personalised learning activities, interactive teaching methods, and regular feedback to support students with different abilities and interests.
Schools can provide opportunities for sports, arts, cultural activities, teamwork, leadership, experiential learning, and value-based education to support children’s overall growth.
