The activities performed at school level play an important role in overall development of children at school and helps to up bring them in most suited environment. The development of these types of activities involves full support of both teachers and parents at their respective level. Without the support of both of them it is not possible for the implementation of activities of improving actual teaching and learning environment at district level in school culture.
The development of this type of concept at school level by teachers requires on their part rigorous and systematic process of learning and development of one’s practice. The implementation of such type of activities at school level requires creating an effective environment in schools for teachers to learn from each other and for developing more learning-centered education that focuses on the real needs of students. With the development of this activity more effective relationship between teachers and students can be developed and thus directly leads to development of better mutual understanding within them and easy attainment of goal.
In this direction the highest authorities dealing with the subject of education and framing policy and procedure in this respect can play an important role in the development and improving of actual teaching by the teachers and the environment in which children studies. Their steps can be helpful in establishing the standards of education and would be beneficial for increasing the potential of employees. It lays down the objectives of teaching, defines the key development tasks or areas of improvement.
It gives summary of the fundamental knowledge and skills to be performed at school level and that should be maintained at every level of education. It states that educational content in the textbooks must be presented in such manner that it enables schools, teachers and pupils to pursue differentiated activities built upon a common foundation serving standardization. This enables the schools at district or state or national level, parents and pupils to assert their interest and values and ensures that teachers can implement their professional objectives and effectively serve the purpose for which they are appointed.
The teachers must always try to establish among children or students to learn about the culture and minority groups that are part of the nation at all level of school education. This type of teaching among students by the teachers or by parents helps to develop a good and descent behavior which increases the respect for all the communities. This will lead to creation of sense of brotherhood for each of their colleagues and brothers and sisters and respect for each one of them.
For this proper balance between the strengthening links within subjects, a coherent view of teaching/ learning and the personal development of students at school level. Intensive research and developments should be made in development of methods of education so that classrooms can be transformed into learning environment which is more responsive to the varying need and interest of individual children. The techniques should be developed in such manner as it integrates home and school learning. The main objective is that it increases memorable learning as well as memorized learning.

This provides introduction of wide range of learning opportunities into the classrooms. The teachers must collaborate with parents who are too busy to come to school meetings, respond to their child’s question, to pay attention on their work and to participate on professional development of their children.
The teachers must always please parents by adopting various means so that they must give fixed time to their children by telling the importance of that. To achieve the predetermined objective set, the text books printed must include more and more pictures, graphs and numbers of spread sheets and less text and should tries to understand everything by figures and diagrams instead of texts.
Due to this attention of students can easily grab and their interest can be created in that particular subject in which they were earlier not studied. As teachers are integral part of school curriculum, they must develop their knowledge and skills to fully integrate technology tools into their daily instruction and student learning. For this integration and implementation of technology in school education training program should be designed to evaluate their teaching techniques and to train them.
