Principal A P Sharma during the workshop for 'Creating Constructive Competencies'.
Birla Public School conducted various workshops for its faculty in the New Year to rebuild and endorse its ideologies to the revitalising role of CBSE as a designer of holistic future citizens. The Principal A P Sharma led the workshop for ‘ Creating Constructive Competencies’, in students as they have to be enabled to face numerous unpredictable challenges in the future.
Guiding the teachers to open their minds to new thoughts and accept the skill-building techniques emphasised by the CBSE Board, he said: “The flowering lotus can be defined or viewed through various perspectives but for the student the consensus of all these varied definitions matters, as we cannot predict what awaits the student. So help the students to build a comprehensive view of everything. Happy students and parents lead to happy societies”
Seema Sapru, Principal of The Heritage School, Kolkata, led the workshop, ‘Teaching students of mixed abilities’. Over the tenure of two days, she uncovered motivating insights in to daily problems and issues faced by teachers and officials in a normal school.
Employing the group activity techniques Sapru facilitated the acknowledgement of happy responsibilities of being an inspiring teacher who identifies the lesser-abled students in a mixed class.
She went on to provide the basic methodology adopted by her school to help the parents of such children and highlighted the success stories already attained. Rediscovering and redefining the Bloom’s Taxonomy, the teachers prepared balanced question papers to satisfy the needs of a mixed class.
The two sessions combined to provide enough sustenance for the teachers to prepare themselves for the closure of this academic year and the beginning of the upcoming one.
