All the 15 teachers enthusiastically participated in both the programmes held in the school campus.
Fr. Aneesh in his classes focussed on strengthening the language proficiency of the participants. It was inspiring to see the teachers getting back to the benches of the students in order to improve their skills in teaching. The focus of the seminar was mainly on efficient speaking of English and effective use of literary English in the teaching learning process.
The motivational, informative and training session conducted by Fr. Babu Varghese was dynamically participated by the teachers of the school. Acquiring of skills essential for teaching and classroom management brings one to the professional standards. The topics covered by Fr. Babu were “Vision of an Educator”, “Education Today in the 21st Century”, Total Quality People”, “Building Relationships” and “Lesson Plans”. The lively classes and the personal interaction of the animator was much appreciated by the teachers. In fact at the end there was a great appeal for frequent animation programmes.
