TRAINING PROGRAMME: INSERVICE TEACHERS TRAINING & HOBBY CLASSES:

The school conducted a one-week teacher training workshop and hobby classes from the 17^th to 26^th May 2022. High quality sessions by the school coordinator, counsellor and special educator were conducted on topics like NEP, Subjective well being, Life Skills, POCSO and Inclusive Education. Hobby classes were conducted by the activity teachers with varied options available to the teachers to choose including Yoga, aerobics, music, acrylic painting and lippan art. This training was an opportunity for the teachers to share best practices with the rest of the team and provided a platform for fun and learning.

Whole School Approach:

Whole-school approach implies that the concern shown for environmental problems in the formal curriculum are, whenever possible, reflected in day-to-day practice in a school’s non-formal curriculum. In this way values and attitudes advocated in the classroom become habituated in the daily actions of teachers, pupils, and support staff. Thus, school practices what it teaches. Values are reinforced in actions and consequently caught, rather than taught. Following are the varied activities conducted under the approach:

1. WSA – Assembly:

Special assemblies were conducted on various occasions to celebrate special days and events.  Special days like Earth Day, Digital India, Maharashtra Day, Sanskrit Week, Teachers Day Celebration etc. Were conducted to inculcate values like communication skills, problem solving, team spirit, critical thinking, self awareness etc.
