Innocent Hearts conducted three workshops on “Professional Development”
and “Classroom that Cares” in the GMT branch. The main aim of these was to
enable teachers to manage students in the changing mental and physical scenario
of today. The workshop on professional
development was conducted by Ms. Nandita Mukerji. It was an interactive session
where the teachers were encouraged to use DI – “Differential Instruction” with
the aim of” Enhancing Instructional skills through differentiation and Creative
Teaching Techniques”. Here it is emphasized that each child has needs and
problems which are varied and require a different approach. The second workshop
was conducted by Ms. Avneet Kaur a noted
Educational Psychologist from Delhi. She emphasized the need to make the
classroom “Student friendly” making sure the teacher knows her students and
finds a sympathetic solution to individual problems that the students
encounter. The teachers must first love themselves and only then can they pass
on the love and care to their students. On the Third day, Psychologist Mrs. Himani
Mittal shared tips on Effective Teaching with the teachers and motivated them
to update them time to time to meet the demands of the students. Vice Principal Ms. Sharmila Nakra presented a
token of thankfulness to the resource persons. Director Principal Mr. Dheeraj Banati
