Workshops

Overall Development

GSSS regularly holds workshops on various aspects of school education led by both GSSS staff and by guest speakers and experts. The school lead workshops for teachers as well as students for a wide range of subjects, social issues, life skills, adolescence programs, team building, communication, gender equality, communal harmony, and violence.

During the workshops, the participating teachers or students get an opportunity to interact with other students from the formal and non-formal stream of education. Such opportunities help the teachers to practice the skills they have acquired during the workshop. Sometimes, the students come to the venue of the Workshop and at other times, the teachers are taken to schools or other institutions.

An evaluation is conducted after each workshop to gauge the comprehension of the teachers and students to test their grasp of the knowledge gained. This regular feedback after the training helps in developing approaches and methodologies to improve the training techniques.

Through these Workshops, teachers are introduced to innovative methods in classroom teaching that encourage creativity and sensitivity in the child. These Workshops help teachers to achieve an integrated approach to education and provide methodologies of a cultural input in curriculum teaching.
