Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
Our facilitators for Primary and Secondary handling English, Science, and Math experienced an enriching and insightful orientation on the Cambridge Core Subject Curriculum. The session, led by Ms. Vaishali Gandhi, a subject expert, content developer, and Cambridge-accredited teacher trainer, set the stage for a transformative approach to teaching and learning.
The session began with an in-depth discussion of the Cambridge curriculum framework, emphasizing its various attributes and the significance of learner-centric classrooms. Ms. Gandhi highlighted innovative classroom strategies and the principles of Active Questioning, underscoring the importance of engaging students in meaningful and thought-provoking dialogue.
The day’s learning didn’t stop there. The second session, led by Ms. Gowsiya Banu, delved into the course components and introduced facilitators to metacognitive strategies. Ms. Banu’s interactive approach ensured that every participant could grasp the concepts effectively, fostering an environment of shared knowledge and collaborative learning.
The orientation was more than just a session; it was a journey into the heart of the Cambridge philosophy, where every educator left with a renewed sense of purpose and the tools to create dynamic, engaging, and thoughtful classrooms.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
This professional development session reaffirmed our facilitators’ commitment to excellence in education. With the strategies and insights gained, our educators are now better equipped to ignite the spark of curiosity and learning in every student, shaping the minds and futures of tomorrow.
