Mrs. Sowmya B M, Principal of Seshadripuram English School, Tumakuru, Karnataka, expressed pride in receiving the Dynamic Principal Award at the South India Educators’ Summit & Dynamic School Awards 2026, organised by EducationNewsNetwork. She described the recognition as an encouraging moment, acknowledging the support of her school team and the collective effort behind her achievement.
Mrs. Sowmya appreciated the summit for recognising school leaders and providing encouragement to principals to introduce new initiatives and implement meaningful improvements within their institutions. She believes such recognition can motivate educators to continue strengthening their contribution to school education.
Sharing her message with fellow educators, she highlighted the importance of commitment and enthusiasm in the teaching profession.
“Apart from my degrees and certificates, if I’m not a passionate teacher, I may not find success. One should be passionate towards what they work for.”
Her message reinforces that qualifications alone do not define an effective educator. Genuine passion for teaching helps teachers connect with students, inspire curiosity, and create meaningful learning experiences, making it an essential foundation for educational success.
Mrs. Sowmya B M emphasises that passion is a key foundation of effective teaching and meaningful student learning.
Passion motivates educators to inspire students, remain committed to their work, and create engaging classroom experiences.
Passionate teachers can encourage curiosity, build confidence, and motivate students to participate actively in learning.
Educators can use interactive activities, creative teaching methods, real-world examples, and student-centred approaches.
Teaching skills provide structure and knowledge, while passion brings enthusiasm, commitment, and inspiration to the learning process.
