MOTIVATE TO TEACH
Deepalaya organized a two days workshop on ‘MOTIVATE TO TEACH’ for the teachers of all the branches of Deepalaya at DSKE on 11th & 12th October, 2010.
The workshop began with the inspiring & encouraging words from Reverend Father Alexander Thomas. He explained the concept of morality & spirituality behind teaching. He advised the teachers to teach from heart and never to lose the vision and mission of teaching. He also explained how an ‘Upadhyaya’ (teacher) must continuously make efforts to become an ‘Acharya’ i.e. a teacher who in real life himself practices what he teaches. He also emphasized the fact that ultimate goal of every teacher should be to become a real ‘Guru’ in his life.
Later on the workshop continued with Mrs. Mariam Mathew. She commenced her address by giving stress on the philosophy that everybody can achieve excellence in his/her life according to one’s potential. We teachers should have our Gg’s going i.e. Great Mind and Goal Orientation.
It was an interactive session also. She discussed the problems faced by teachers in the classroom.
· Easy boredom
· Low Self esteem
· Exam Malpractices
By giving some live examples she gave some useful solutions to these problems also.
Later on she discussed subject wise effective teaching and leaning methodologies. Few GK learning tips were also given.
On 12th October, 2010 in the morning session she explained the importance of the term ‘Organise’. She also presented two model demonstrations on the topic- ‘Atmosphere’ & ‘Oceans’ which was beneficial for the teachers. Later on some classroom demonstrations were also presented by different subject teachers of DSKE.
