September 01, 2016:<\/strong> Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS),\na research institute of 91̽»¨ organized a Principal\nMeet cum Awareness programme on \u201cIdentifying Best Teaching Practices in School\nEducation for Schools Leaders\u201d in Kathmandu to equip teachers with effective\nand innovative teaching methodologies and to empower them with techniques and\ntools to enhance and encourage active involvement of the teachers and students\nin the learning processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-hour skill development programme was held at Radisson\nHotel Kathmandu and was attended by over 100 participants from different\ncolleges and schools of Kathmandu, Nepal including, principals of Junior\nColleges. The Principals\u2019 Meet cum Teachers Training programme was headed by\nDr. Sanjeev P Sahni, Principal Director of JIBS; Director for Center for\nInnovative Leadership and Change and Advisor to the Vice Chancellor at JGU. Dr.\nManjushree Palit, Deputy Director & Assistant Professor, JIBS was also a\nkey speaker at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a great learning experience and a wonderful\ninitiative by JIBS\u201d said one of the participants. Many principals expressed\ninterest in further collaborating with JIBS on organizing training programs for\ntheir teachers. Many showed interest in visiting JIBS at OP Jindal Global\nUniversity to attend teachers training program offered by JIBS. \u201cWe are\ninterested in further training opportunities with JIBS as we are really\nimpressed with the initiative\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an aim to offer value addition to the school education\nsystem, JIBS is actively working with teachers across India and other countries\nand offering short term courses to help them better customize their teaching\nmechanisms to meet the needs of school children. Dr Sahni and his team have\nconducted similar training programmes for teachers in India recently. They also\ntravelled on a multi-city tour of UAE to engage with school teachers there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSchool education lays the basic foundation of learning in\nchildren. If supported by right teaching practices it plays a pivotal role in\ninstilling a spirit of enquiry and pursuit for knowledge in them. It is\ntherefore imperative to give special attention to teaching methodologies at\nschool and develop approaches that involve children into the learning process\nand catalyze their minds to ask questions, rather than remain passive\nlisteners. At JIBS we have undertaken several studies and researches to\nunderstand the best approaches and practices to school education and we have\nincorporated the knowledge obtained from them into a series of courses and\nprograms for teachers,\u201d says Dr. Sanjeev P Sahni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Sahni, who holds a PhD in Educational Psychology and\na Post Graduate in Counseling Psychology, shared his extensive and vast\nexperience of the field (education and administration). He also focused on the\nparadigm shift in our education system and the worldwide best teaching\npractices. He emphasized on the importance of parents-teachers involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Manjushree Palit emphasized the role of self-awareness and\nemotional well-being of teachers in coping with challenging and stressful\nsituations in school settings. It is also important that parents and teachers\nengage in a discussion with students on how to handle failures just as they\ndiscuss how to achieve success in school education system. Teaching practices\nshould not only focus on enhancing academic growth, but also encourage\nemotional growth and social responsibility among students.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the eminent schools that participated were Ramesh\nKumar Silwal, CEO Golden Gate International College, Budha Neelkanta, Pentagon,\nKVM, Atharva Business School, St Mary, Kantipur College, Siddhartha School,\nKIST College, Presidency College, Rainbow International Boarding School,\nEverest International High School to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching, especially at school level, is an intrinsically\ncomplex discipline since it involves dealing with children and catering to\ntheir multiple needs of learning. Some students might be more inclined to learn\nfrom the conventional book teaching methods while others may be predisposed to\nimbibe  from practical hands-on\nexperiences. At the same time, there are special children who need a completely\ndifferent approach to learning and teaching. Keeping these factors in mind,\nJIBS is working with teachers to devise and impart better modalities of\nteaching based on psychological, social and development understanding of\nchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among a series of courses and programmes offered for school\nteachers by JIBS are Stress Management, Performance Enhancement, Assertive\nDiscipline, Positive Psychology, Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit\nHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anger Management Program, Handling Troubled\nChildren\/Teens, &Developmental Needs of Children: Preschool to Higher\nSecondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
