Teacher With a Difference SelaQui World School positions the teacher at the pinnacle of the learning process-but with a difference. The teacher is no longer the ''provider'' of all knowledge. He or she is a ''facilitator'', who uses the new technology to motivate the students to explore for themselves the world of knowledge. Motivated and inspired, by the opportunity of learning to Innovate, and Innovating to Learn, the teacher at SelaQui continuously renews and updates subject knowledge and pedagogy. The teacher is a leader and motivator; role model and mentor, learner and innovator; Leading by example.Comfortable with convergence technologies, as tools for learning and evaluation, the teachers extensively use multi-media and audiovisual classroom aids. The teacher at SelaQui, in varying capacitsies of subject teacher, house tutor, house mentor or activity guide or a fellow sportsperson, develops with the limited number of students under his/her charge a close rapport and relationship that comforts and inspires the student to learn and grow in an atmosphere of affection, warmth, trust, togetherness and openness. Positive and enabling environment enables the student to delve into the treasure of talent and merit within. Keeping in view the rigorous demands of the curriculum and pedagogy, teacher training and capacity and competence building are at the core of the learning processes deployed by SelaQui. While the school closes for 90 days in a year over two breaks of 45 days each, the SelaQui teacher avails only 45 days of annual holidays in a year. The rest of the time (45 days in two blocks of 22/23 days each) is devoted to faculty development programs (FDP) to update and continuously realign subject content and pedagogy. The school is also exploring the possibility of exchange programs with some of the leading schools worldwide. Teachers from the participating schools will spend 4 to 6 weeks at each other''s school to study their school systems and adapt the best learning practices. Mr. Rohit Pathak, born on 30th October 1975, did the initial years of his schooling from St. Francis in Lucknow. He moved on to join Delhi Public School, RK Puram, and passed out from there in 1993. Always dreaming to be an engineer, he took admission in Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology as soon as he passed out of school. Being a fan of automobiles, he took up the study of Mechanical Engineering. After four years of academics and extra curricular activities, Mr. Pathak graduated from there in 1997, but not before securing a job with one of India''s leading car companies. After working for 5 years in the industry, Mr. Pathak felt the need to explore foreign lands, and also to further his education in his chosen field. He enrolled for a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It was at Lehigh University that Mr. Pathak had his first experience in teaching. As a Teaching Assistant to certain professors, he has the responsibility of taking classes twice a week for the undergraduate students. It was an enriching experience, much different from what he had been trained to do. After graduating from Lehigh University in 2003, he worked for a year with a company in Philadelphia, before realizing that his dreams lie somewhere else. He gave up the life in America and returned to his homeland to join SelaQui World School. Once here, he took up teaching again, and took a liking to it. One of his biggest accomplishments was to make SelaQui the first international school in the northern hills. By introducing and implementing the International Baccalaureate program at SelaQui in 2004, Mr. Pathak established himself as a leader in the education. He took over as Headmaster of SelaQui World School in 2006, and has taken the school to greater heights in all areas since then. 2004
