The next day session started with an activity on different teaching styles of a teacher. Just as people have individual learning styles, teachers have teaching styles that works best, guides and directs their instructional processes. This affects students and their ability to learn. So the teachers were divided into two groups, one group to present different styles of teaching, the other group to identify what kind of teaching it is. Teachers actively participated in this activity with the guidance of the recourse persons. Next the teachers were given the task to make their own Rules for the classroom. The rules are classified into five types like Clearly Stated, Reasonable, Enforceable, General, Stated Positively. All the participants worked individually in this activity to make clear rules for the students.

As everyone needs appreciation for their work in the same way, the students also need appreciation and rewards. So the afternoon session started with different types of Rewards. A video was shown on Rewards by the resource persons. They explained the difference between the rein forcers, rewards and bribery. In the next activity teachers are asked to recall their own favourite teacher and their special attributes. The challenges faced by teachers in establishing positive relationships with the students and parents were discussed. Teachers were guided to treat students as individuals, promoting positive peer relationships, communicating effectively with parents and the ways of establishing contact and dealing with the parents effectively. The next session was on managing classes with large number of students. Teaching large classes is a challenge but it can also offer many opportunities. Teachers improve teaching skills along with the organizational, managing skills, interpersonal skills, presentation skills, evaluation skills etc. The teachers worked on their own dream class, presented and shared their requirements for their dream class in the next activity. 

     Teachers are in a profession of trust, if they are efficient the class will be effective and students never miss their class. This workshop strengthened the teachers to come out with new ideas to deal with the young minds according to the situation of the class.  

We thank the resource persons for making the programme lively. They boosted the confidence of the teachers and made to feel proud to be a teacher. The teachers who have attended the programme had received the Provisional Certificate by the CBSE.

    We thank our School Management and the Principal for organising and encouraging the teachers to participate in such programmes. We wish to get such programmes from CBSE a lot more in future.
