WORKSHOP FOR TEACHERS ON ACTIVE & PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

“One of the major advantages of project work is that it makes school more like real life. It’s an in-depth investigation of a real-world topic worthy of children’s attention and effort.”
-Education Researcher Sylvia Chard

The old-school model of passively learning facts and reciting them out of context is no longer sufficient to prepare students to survive in today’s world. Solving highly complex problems requires that students have both fundamental skills (reading, writing, and math) and 21st century skills (teamwork, problem-solving, research gathering, time management, information synthesizing, utilizing high tech tools). With this combination of skills, students become directors and managers of their learning process, who are guided and mentored by a skilled teacher.
Upgrading and enhancing the informative skills among the teachers, GGHS organized a highly informative and interactive session on active learning. Active learning involves creating learning experiences differently so that students engage in the exploration of the content and take responsibility for their learning. The session was conducted on the school campus while following all social distancing norms on October 31st,2020 by the eminent resource person Ms. Mukta Sharma, where teachers are guided and advised that how they can develop and inculcate interest, critical and problem- thinking attitude in students towards learning.
In this session, teachers learned the exploration of project-based learning and its importance these days. The session proved to be very interesting and helpful for the teachers.

Educating the Educators

“Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will, you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.”
Access to computers and the internet has become a basic need for education in our society. With the same notion and an initiative taken by Gurugram Global Heights School to keep its teachers updated, a workshop on “educating the educator” was conducted on 15th January 2020 on the school premises. The workshop was organized to train the teachers in improving the use of ICT during classroom transactions. The agenda of the workshop was to facilitate educators and equip them with new ICT skills. The workshop was facilitated by the Vice Principal of the school, Ms. Bhavna Chibber who is an ICT resource person. She said that the main motive for the training session is to facilitate unlearning and relearning appropriate pedagogical skills in the exceedingly volatile 21st-century classrooms as well as among the educators. The best part of the training program was experiential learning and hands-on session. The training program was very informative and fruitful.

Phonetics and Reading

“When teachers stop learning, so do students.” – Jim Knight
Gurugram Global Heights School emphasizes on developing strong pedagogical content knowledge and raising the quality of teaching methodology to improve student learning. To target “Backdoor” social-emotional learning channels to fast-track phonics for reading, the school organized a workshop on “Backdoor to the Brain” which emphasized phonetics and reading. The workshop was conducted for all the teachers in the school premise on January 6, 2020. The resource person Ms. Sonali Bhatt, the elementary academic advisor of GGHS stressed the necessity to have a context before we start a letter and plan lessons in great detail, with activities, to engage the students and enhance effective learning. She suggested various methods such as Buddy Story Telling sessions among the different classes that would not only enhance the reading skills of the child but promote the social bonding among the students. The idea was to connect children from concrete to abstract; from the unknown to the known. Building this connection makes learning interesting as well as helps to retain the concept. The workshop proved to be beneficial for the staff members as they found it to be a great course with an abundance of ideas for active methodology.
