With interesting experiments, projects and other activity-oriented learning methods, exciting classroom sessions await students in Classes I-VIII this academic year.
Topics ranging from formulating simple experiments and projects, peace and value education to motivating newly recruited teachers were discussed at the State-level training for district coordinators of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) held at Jeeva Jyothi Ashram recently.
Around 30 district coordinators prepared and presented the training modules for the topics allotted for them at the two-day residential programme. P. Kuppusamy, Joint Director, SSA, Chennai, who conducted the programme, said that the training focussed on providing motivation to teachers and adopting effective pedagogical methods.
S. Raja and P. Elango Jayaprabhu, lecturers at District Institute of Education and Training, assessed the proposals presented by the district coordinators and finalised the modules to be followed.
The coordinators would in turn train teachers across the State.
The coordinators shared their views during the feedback session.
S. Maruthamani and M.R. Devika said that with the implementation of Continuous Evaluation Method this year more emphasis was given to activity-based learning and creative pedagogical methods.
The coordinators would train newly recruited teachers on basics such as Activity Based Learning, Active Learning Method, Right to Education Act, 2009 and Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation.
Modules for training block resource persons, cluster resource person and head masters were also discussed at the programme.
