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 workshop.
