Holy Child School organized an enriching workshop for teachers on “Pedagogies of Classroom Teaching”. The session was conducted by Mrs. J. K. Sawhney, esteemed Resource Person from New Saraswati House.
The workshop aimed to familiarize educators with innovative, learner-centered pedagogical practices to enhance classroom effectiveness. Mrs. Sawhney began by discussing the shift from traditional teaching to activity-based, experiential learning that caters to diverse learning styles.
Key highlights of the session included:
- Effective Instructional Strategies: Techniques like think-pair-share, flipped classroom, and cooperative learning to boost student participation.
- Lesson Planning & Execution: Structuring lessons with clear learning outcomes, real-life connections, and formative assessment.
- Classroom Management: Practical approaches to maintain discipline while encouraging curiosity and open dialogue.
- Integrating 21st Century Skills: Emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication through subject teaching.
The session was highly interactive, with teachers participating in group activities, case studies, and live demonstrations of pedagogical tools. Mrs. Sawhney also addressed queries on handling mixed-ability classrooms and using low-resource teaching aids effectively.
The workshop concluded with teachers sharing feedback and expressing appreciation for the practical takeaways. The strategies discussed will help faculty create more engaging, inclusive, and outcome-driven classroom environments.
