SCHOOLS: THE INCUBATORS FOR INTELLECT (Pages 130-140) by Dr. Bilal R. Shah in THE INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SPECIALIST / ISSN: 2350-1499 (Online); 2350-0751 (Print)

Schools are the first and the foremost structures that help in placing the premium on our greatest natural resource; the human potential. School is the first step towards the incubation of the human intellect as it gradually transforms the social and psychological behaviour of the child while interacting with his peers or teachers. Teachers play vital roles in the lives of the students. They are best known for the role of educating those who are committed to their care. Teachers set the tone of their classrooms, build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, become role models, and listen and look for signs of trouble. In a school that is incubator for intellect, there is an inherent faith that all people can continue to improve their intellectual capacities throughout life. School staff members continue to define and clarify thinking as a goal and seek ways to gain assistance in achieving it. All members of the school community-students, teachers, administrators, board members and parents of course; share the common vision of the schools as the incubators of intellect. They continually work to sharpen that image to clarify their goals and to align daily practices with that Vision of the future. Society is an entity that cannot be separated from us. It is entirely in our hands to add value to education and affect it in a positive way. Society and education are tied together. Education affects the society as a whole. And the society's influence on education cannot be ignored. We need to understand the role of society in the overall development of an individual. Even before we become a part of the education system, we start learning from our surroundings. Keywords: Incubators Community Administrators Intellect Mentors.
