今回は、皆さまへのメッセージをご紹介します。⁣

「Shailjaです。OWISで新たな一歩を踏み出せることを、とても楽しみにしています。⁣

20年以上教育に携わる中で、子どもたちが安心し、幸せを感じ、自分が大切にされ、自分の声がきちんと受け止められていると感じられるときに、最も豊かな学びが生まれると考えるようになりました。⁣

私にとって、ウェルビーイング、レジリエンス、そして幸福感は、学びとは別のものではありません。むしろ、すべての学びの土台となるものです。⁣

子どもたちが自分の居場所を感じ、間違えることを恐れず、質問し、何度でも挑戦できる自信を持つことで、好奇心が育ち、意味のある学びが生まれる環境をつくることができます。⁣

教育者の役割は、単に子どもたちの知識を増やすことだけではないと考えています。子どもたちがこれからの世界を歩んでいく中で、より自信を持ち、思いやりを育み、人や社会とのつながりを感じられるよう支えていくことも、私たちの大切な役割です。」⁣
