CBSE has developed the Guidelines for Teachers on Disaster Risk Reduction in Schools. This is a step towards involving all teachers in the school, irrespective of the subjects they teach, in the urgent task of guiding their students to prevent disasters and protect them during emergencies. These guidelines identify class-wise and subject-wise topics in the NCERT textbooks prescribed for affiliated schools, which can be used by subject teachers to create awareness about Disaster Risk Reduction in their classrooms. Activity based sample lesson plans covering 5 to 6 chapters from each of the 5 main subjects (English, Hindi, Maths, Science and Social Science) of Classes 6 – 10 has been created to link the lessons to Disaster Risk Reduction topics. Teachers may follow the suggested lesson plans or develop their own teaching-learning strategies suitable for their students. Classroom discussions on Disaster Risk Reduction should be conducted with a positive approach, helping students develop practical confidence to deal with hazardous situations. This interdisciplinary approach will help students develop a holistic understanding of disaster management. For example, in science classes, teachers can discuss natural disasters and their scientific causes, while in social studies, they can explore the socio-economic impacts of disasters.
As per circular of C.B.S.E , Every subject teacher
should allot at least one period per class per month in her regular timetable to teach a lesson by relating it to a topic of Disaster Risk Reduction in school. C.B.S.E has Principals to ensure its implementation in schools.
It is expected that if all teachers follow these guidelines on Disaster Risk Reduction in Schools, it will help students:
Learn about Disaster Risk Reduction principles and actively participate in DRR practices taught in school and outside.
Take note of disaster risks in their own locality and actively seek solutions to prevent and reduce their impact.
Prepare and implement the School Safety Plan by participating in mock drills and appropriate response strategies available in the school and community.
Spread the knowledge on DRR acquired in school to their families and communities.
All schools are requested to download the Guidelines for Teachers on Disaster Risk Reduction in Schools (Classes 6 to 10) available in the Board’s website and incorporate it in their regular classroom teaching and learning.
