This document outlines an agenda for a professional development session that teaches literacy routines called "Turn the Light On" and "Do I Really Get It?". The session includes activities like brainstorming reasons for student disengagement, reviewing coaching guides, watching exemplar videos, participating in a funnel activity, pictionary, and practicing applying the routines to sample lessons. The overall goal is for teachers to learn how to use these routines to check for student understanding and engagement in their own classrooms.

This is a short presentation distilled from experience, and from the wisdom taught to us by the most distinguished presenters on the stage. It was delivered at the IT department on Friday, February 13, 2015.
The seminar is based on my first book Academic Excellence, the synopsis of which goes as follows
This book is a modern day fable about achieving Academic Excellence. The protagonist is Amish Sharma, a city born teenager with all the resources a student would need to be successful. He was living the ideal teenage life with great friends, cool gadgets, lots of fast food and a family that loved him and met all his needs. He never really gave too much importance to Academics. Exams scared him and thus he stayed away from school. Everything was going great until one day his final 10th grade exams turned up. His lack luster attitude throughout the year, affected his performance and he failed a subject. His life then took a big turn around. The school wanted him to stay back a year. This left him devastated. He pleaded and finally after passing a re-test, he was allowed to go to the next standard.
He decided that this was never going to happen to him again and thus began his transformational journey to find the best in himself and achieve Academic Excellence. He meets Neil Shah, a great student, with a portfolio of achievements that made him the ideal mentor. Amish decided to find out how Neil did all he could, so that he too could find the best in himself. What follows is a life changing conversation between these two students, where Amish finds out how the best students achieve Academic Excellence. He learns many well-kept secrets of the best students from Neil. The book is divided into four main parts
1. 7 Steps to becoming a subject topper and falling in love with your subject.
2. Mastering your exams.
3. Understanding Student Topper Mindset and Physiology.
4. 11 Reasons why the best students become better.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
