Continuous Professional Learning Development Program 2015-16
The success of a leadership is when it
inspires and encourages innovation in teaching practices among its team
members. With this view in mind, workshops are conducted on a regular basis to
keep the learning process alive.
Departing from the norm, the headmistress,
Ms. Anju Gupta came up with a novel idea of having in-house creative workshops;
wherein, the resource persons as well as the participants were the teachers
themselves. The teachers (Primary and Preprimary) were divided into 5 groups of
6 members each and were given the autonomy of choosing the topic of their
