Value education workshop for teachers organized at Doon Valley Public School

A teachers' workshop on Value Education at Doon Valley Public School became something more than a training session — it became an opportunity to reflect and bond. 60 teachers gathered, led by CBSE resource person Shivani Vashisht and school principal Devendra Mahal, to learn about how values influence not only students' learning but also their lives. Through role plays, songs, and group work, teachers refocused on the essence of their calling — developing critical thinking, creativity, and character. The mood was festive, with teachers freely sharing classroom challenges, finding solutions, and renewing appreciation for the underlying purpose in daily teaching.

A workshop on "Value Education" among teachers on the values of ethics for the students and their role towards designing their lives was recently held at Doon Valley Public School. CBSE resource person Shivani Vashisht and school Principal and District Training Coordinator Devendra Mahal guided 60 teachers from various schools on this subject.

Discussion revolved around how five "C's" — critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication and character — could be inculcated and how these could be related to the academic syllabus. The faculty members were apprised of several methods and techniques for imparting value-based education. Role play, chart preparation and singing were also performed as workshop activities. Eager participation of the teachers was seen in these exercises wherein they presented their views in the form of enriching presentations.

Discussions were also held on the importance of Indian culture and its inherent values, problems emerging in the new academic setup and their solutions. During sessions of discussion, educators identified problems emerging in the classrooms and they were advised on practical measures to solve them. Additionally, the contribution of digital media and social media towards propagating value education was also deliberated thoroughly.

On this occasion, various educational videos and short films were also exhibited.
