Teachers Effectiveness Development programme was conducted for the teachers of Don Bosco School, Jamtoli, Kolebira on 14th October 2019 with a view to deepen their understanding on different trends in education. The day commenced with the Holy Eucharist presided over by the animator, Fr. Babu Varghese sdb. He exhorted the participants to be better teachers and adapt themselves to new, challenging situations. The morning session on Vision in Life gave them the directions required to set their goals right as educators. Fr. Babu then led them to understand deeply the Preventive System of Don Bosco, throwing light on the particularities of being part of a Salesian School. The session on Protective Behaviour and Corporal Punishment enabled them to delve into the loving and affective ways of being an educator rather than resorting to corporal punishments to bring out the desired changes in pupils . The animator also introduced them to the Salesian Educative Pastoral Plan (SEPP). At the end of a hectic day, the teachers felt within deep sentiments of gratitude and contentment for having gone through this training. All of them felt that the seminar has invigorated them and embellished their thought processes as educators. All expressed their sentiments of appreciation to the animator and committed themselves to be beacons of light among the children of this rural locality.
