A special session on 'Child Psychology' was organized by Global Wisdom School, Dera Bassi, for the teachers. Dr Sonia Sharma, an experienced researcher and administrator with teaching experience of more than 18 years, presented the session. Dr Sharma's presentation was a lecture-cum-entertaining journey inside the child's mind. Through her experience, she removed the intellectual, social, and emotional layers of growth that motivate children. She challenged teachers to attempt to view things the way children do, examine their requirements, and develop a positive learning environment. Her presentation contained practical tales, case studies. Practical skills on diagnosing behavioral patterns, classroom management, and establishing teacher-student relationships were imparted to the teachers. The session ended with Principal Dr Basundhara thanking Dr Sharma with honeyed words and once more placing emphasis on the necessity for teachers to keep learning.
Global Wisdom School, Dera Bassi, recently conducted an insightful session on 'Child Psychology' for teachers exclusively by Dr. Sonia Sharma, distinguished researcher and administrator with a rich experience of more than 18 years. Instead of a formal lecture, Dr. Sharma's talk was an infectious journey through the complex mental, emotional, and social growth processes in children that have implications for learning.
Learning from her years of experience, Dr. Sharma implored teachers to experience the world with children's eyes and look to each child's unique needs. She pleaded with teachers to build healthy, positive classroom environments in which students feel valued and heard.
The session was also replete with the experiences of the teacher himself and actual case studies where the teachers were able to relate theory with practice. Behavior patterns and handling of the common classroom problems were dealt with as appropriate, stressing their identification. Techniques on how to improve the all-important teacher-student relationship were also delivered by Dr. Sharma, whom she reaffirmed as the most important for students' development.
Teachers were left with a clearer idea of how psychology knowledge would enhance classroom management, maximize emotional growth, and modify teaching styles to meet the unique individual learning styles of children. It taught them how to comprehend child psychology to excel academically as well as raise well-rounded, resilient learners.
The workshop concluded on a note of grateful appreciation by Dr. Basundhara, the principal of the school, who once again stressed the importance of professional development of teachers on an ongoing basis. She valued the worth of Dr. Sharma in motivating teachers and deepening their pedagogical practice with better child development understanding.
