Shantiniketan Indian School recently organised a two-day workshop for its teachers on ‘Nurturing and structuring children: Behaviour modification and classroom management’, at its Barwa campus. The workshop, conducted by the well-known trainer and educationist from Kerala, India, N V Kabeer, focused on making teachers aware of the importance of involving parents, particularly formally or non-formally educated mothers, in the schooling process and developing a value-based curriculum for character development.
While conducting the workshop, the trainer said, “If we want to make students competent to work in the modern, globalised scenario, then teaching has to be imbued with a multidisciplinary approach. It has to be transformed from shallow learning to deep learning, wherein such assessment practices have to be devised which propel students to be active and engage them in a process of gathering information within and outside classrooms.”
In another session, school Principal A P Muhammed Ismail spoke on benchmarking and standardisation of the CBSE curriculum to bring it on par with international curricula.
The purpose of the session was to get the teachers use the curriculum standards for planning, teaching, learning and assessment.
In the closing ceremony, staff representatives Jasmir Faisal and Sini Thomas expressed their appreciation of the management and the trainer providing them valuable training. K C Abdul Latheef, K V Abdul Khader, V T Faisal, Rsheed Ahammed (SMC members), Shihabudheen, Dudley O’Connor, Prabha Saji, Prabha Jayaprakash and Mehjabeen were also present on the occasion.
